About the Hotel
Overview
The BEST WESTERN Grosvenor Hotel is a Georgian building on a residential road, a short walk from Stratford-upon-Avon's main shopping streets, including Henley Street (Shakespeare's birthplace), Bridge Street and High Street, which is lined with black-and-white-timbered Tudor buildings and high-street shops.
Food is served in the Garden Room Restaurant, and drinks and afternoon tea are available in the Lounge Bar. During the summer, guests can sit outside on the terrace. Every Sunday there's a carvery from 12-3pm.
Bedrooms range from standard single, double or twin to family and executive rooms. Wi-Fi is free in all areas of the hotel.
The Avon Ring -- a 4-minute walk away -- is a canal ring that connects Stratford-upon-Avon with Evesham, Tewkesbury and Worcester, where you can walk by the canal through the park down to the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Follow Shakespeare's life stages, starting at his birthplace and childhood home on Henley Street. Discover Tudor courtship at Anne Hathaway's Cottage & Gardens, which is a 30-minute walk from the hotel, and is where Shakespeare courted his future wife. Explore the hay bale maze, see a falconry display or watch the farmer's wife prepare the home-grown food in the farmhouse kitchen at Mary Arden's Farm. It's a short drive outside of Stratford-upon-Avon, and was where Shakespeare's grandparents lived. Finish at Holy Trinity Church, where the Bard was baptised and burried.
Other attractions include Stratford Butterfly Farm, which has the UK's largest collection of tropical butterflies, and Stratford Town Walk, winner of the Tourism Initiative of the Year at the Pride of Stratford Awards 2015.
Warwick, Kenilworth Castle and the Northern Cotswolds are within a 25-minute drive of the hotel.

They don't serve evening meals but used the £10 voucher to cover our parking bill. The hotel is old but the reception areas have been upgraded. The rooms are old fashioned, but clean and comfortable, with a lot of facilities one doesn't always get in a modern hotel. The breakfast was very average though. Very ordinary bread for toast and the cooked breakfast looked really unappetising. (I have never encountered blue/grey mash on a breakfast buffet before!!!) Saying that .... the staff were all really friendly and professional, and being just a 3 minute walk into town, the hotel was ideally located. A bonus was having parking in the middle of Stratford upon Avon. We really enjoyed our mini break.

Very well located hotel. The room was pleasant but although the weather was not exceptionally hot - the room was. Nor was there hot water for a shower the first morning. After informing the staff this was rectified. There is a total lack of ambience in the dining room - the breakfast room was better. The breakfasts were good, but dining was not an unforgettable experience. It was almost as if dinner was not a priority. That said the staff were very pleasant and eager to help - altogether I would recommend to others, but be prepared to dine elsewhere. Parking could be a problem if left too late.

Main rooms all very nice, bedrooms a bit old fashioned but for price and convenience we could put up,with that. The toilets were very difficult to flush. Had problems with bill and felt an inconvenience when mentioning it.

Excellent location and we managed to find a space in the car park. Comfortable bed. Very calm and quiet atmosphere in bar and dining room.
Staff tried to charge us for breakfast on check in and again at check out - seemed unaware of inclusive deal.
No gluten free bread available at breakfast and no GF information on breakfast menu so would not be our first choice for a return visit.

We weren't offered any of the extras other than breakfast. We weren’t offered either the £10 or a room upgrade. We asked about the late check-out but we were told we’d have to ask in the morning which wasn’t particularly helpful. The room allocated was ok but it was rather small compared one we noticed as we walked out.
Other Comments
We emailed the hotel direct to ask a couple of questions but didn’t receive a response.
Having booked through travelzoo the stay was excellent value for money but the service needs brushing up a little and if extras are part of the deal then the hotel should offer/honour these.

We were in a very noisy room the first night - it turned out to be air conditioning units located close to the room - sleepless first night! Moved to an upgraded move the second night. This was a good room and we slept well. We had one meal in the restaurant and that was excellent. Breakfast was more mediocre.
