This is a hotel with a real sense of place. I loved the fact that the rooms were named after Shakespeare characters. The hotel was old but with all the modern conveniences (a lift, ensuite facilities).

Welcoming and friendly. Room comfortable. The hotel is about to close for refurbishment- and it is looking pretty tired right now. Very conveniently situated for the theatre.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A charming stay with an easy walk to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and the waterfront. The room was quaint and comfortable with a large bathroom and great shower (inside a tub). The breakfast was a typical UK affair with a variety of breads, jams, fruit and hot foods served in a common room with close-together tables. The front rooms have low-beamed ceilings and lots of ambience.

Stunning old building & comfy stay

Really enjoyed our little overnighter here. Absolutely stunning building. Nice size room with high ceiling in gorgeous Tudor style. Bed comfy nice bedding. Read some bad reviews but was pleasantly surprised. Yes the carpet is a little old and the chair by the window but it’s all part of the charm. Large modern bathroom. Only negative was a little dust on the windowsills nothing to ruin a lovely comfy night sleep and lovely staff at check in too

Disappointing

Room was large and clean, bed comfortable. Lots of glasses and room service trays in all the corridors. Hotel desperately needs refurbishing, no atmosphere or style to the place. Shame as a waste of a potentially beautiful building

The Mercure in Stratford is an old building.This is not a 5 star resort.I say this as a positive statement.The world needs both.I love the vintage nature of The Mercure.It's a a perfect reprasentative of Stratford as a whole-English,old, Beautiful and magical.I love the old beams,not a single right angle to be found.Wonderful sitting spaces,and a short walk to the beautiful park with canals.
