  Do not unload without paying for a parking ticket

  This hotel is conveniently placed near the centre of town so is ideal for the shops etc. We were there to celebrate a family wedding, so the hotel was in easy walking reach of the registry office. However, do not even think of temporarily parking in Payton Street to unload; I got a £70 parking fine for 6 minutes. You must pay for a ticket from on on street machine nearby, just to unload. Then you park over a 6 - minute walk away at Marina where it is £8 for 48h. I discussed this matter with the Premier Inn staff. They were sympathetic but obviously can't legislate for Warwickshire County Council. Inside the hotel it resembles a rabbit warren, with lots of stairs taking you up and down to reach your room even though there are lifts available. However, there will still be more stairs to encounter. As a pensioner with cardiac problems ,this is not the Premier Inn for me. I am an avowed and loyal Premier Inn customer but will never stay here again.

  2 night stay

  This is a perfect location for exploring Stratford upon Avon as nearly everything is within walking distance! We recommend parking on the marina carpark which cost £12 for 72 hours and was a 6 minute walk away.(see attached pic from hotel for parking options) The hotel entrance needs some TLC as many other reviews have noted and the slow lift to reception becomes quite frustrating! In fact there seem to be several stairs and corridors in this hotel so would probably personally avoid if mobility is an issue, have lots of luggage or have a pram etc. The self check in process was easy but we were also greeted by a friendly member of staff who explained the 24hr reception service and directed us to our room. Our room was a clean and modern double room which appeared to have been recently refurbished. We were overlooking the back of M&S. Good facilities for our short break - hairdryer, plenty of sockets/USBs, large shower, shower gel, hand soap, small table and 2 chairs, tea/coffee, coat hooks and a few hangers on an open rail. We didn’t eat here as there were so many venues nearby to choose from. We would stay here again.

  Fantastic Stay in a Central Location

  We had a wonderful stay at the Premier Inn Stratford-upon-Avon Central. The staff were outstanding - friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. The hotel’s central location made it easy to explore the river, shops, and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre on foot. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and quiet. Overall, the team really made our visit special, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommend for great service and a perfect base in Stratford-upon-Avon!

  Ideal location.

  Nice size room for a solo traveller. A lot of stairs up to the reception area and rooms. The lift is painfully slow, but at least there is one available. Ideal location for a visitor to Stratford-upon-Avon. Less than 3 min walk to the theatre and less than 5 to the town centre. 1 minute away from the River Avon & Bancroft Gardens. A lovely place to sit & watch the swans. No on-site parking but for a very reasonable price (£8 for 48 hours, £12 for 72 hours) parking is available at the Marina (less than 4 minute walk to the hotel, even dragging suitcases.) Would definitely recommend staying here if you don't want frills, but just looking for a quiet, comfortable place to sleep.
