Access can be challenging due to steep, uneven stairs in this old building, and parking is off site. Food service is inconsistent: some guests enjoyed hot meals or breakfast, while others found the kitchen closed or options limited. Expect a budget, characterful pub stay best for easy city access rather than quiet or polished comfort.

Very enjoyable stay. Great staff, pleasant rooms (our group had 2), didn't sample the food other than breakfast which was fine, though we did enjoy time spent in the bar and the outdoors area. Fairly easy to park outside for £1 but only for an hour, use the NCP car park which just round the corner £12 per 24 hours and you can easily get to the back entrance to the Queens Head no more than 100yds away at the end of the service road next to the car park entrance.

On entering you see a good bar and eating area (kitchen was closed during our stay) but the location near the end of the High Street put many of the towns other pubs and eateries close to the hotel. Car parking was at the NCP just around the back. As to be expected in such an old building, it had many quirky features, but the room had everything we needed and we got a few good nights sleep.

I know it's a 500 year old inn, and that explains a lot of its quirks. But large amounts of black mold in every corner of the shower upon checking in isn't related to the building age. Some shower spray would help that. And there's WiFi, but we couldn't access it from inside our room for more than a few seconds at a time. I wouldn't stay again. At least it was pretty cheap.

Room itself was comfortable and service was friendly, helpful and efficient. However the room and bathroom could have been cleaner, and there was quite a lot of mould in the bathroom. The mould might be old staining rather than active, but it's not a good look!

We were the only guests in the place. I understand why. Looked like mold in the shower. Awful smell. Big bright green exit sign INSIDE our room. Street level window with a broken lock. Straight curtain on a bow window. A fan that was so filthy it the fan intake was caked with dirt. Etc., etc., etc.

The property is in the centre which is perfect to access the main streets. The staff were friendly when we arrived and helped us to our room offering help if needed. The room itself was not up to scratch and we were very disappointed. We booked a family room as it was all that was available. The advert said a queen bed and a double bed but when we entered the room it was a sofa bed which was really hard and two single beds pushed together. The towels were clean and the bedsheets were good too. The bathroom was not acceptable because the shower head was covered in mould and the taps for the shower too. The cubicle was full of mould and the water guards were mouldy too. The toilet roll holder was hanging off and the fan was covered in a thick layer of dust too. The room itself was very dusty and I kept my shoes on because the carpets didn't look clean either. The price was £104.50 which I don't believe was reflective of the quality we received in the room. When leaving we weren't asked how the room was or about our stay which made me feel like they are aware of these issues.

We went to Strafford Upon Avon for a couple of days to explore around spending most of time outside. The room was very simple and but with some tea and coffee available. The heating went off in the evening but we called the reception and they turned it on again (the room was freezing). The hot water wasnt that hot and the shower was a bit difficult due the low temperatures. The tiles in the shower had some black spots but it was ok. The Hotel is walking distance to the high street and best places to visit. Easy checkin and checkout.

Extremely loud pub/club noises until 4am. Dirty sheets. Do not stay here

I will say that the staff were kind, the hot water worked, and the sheets & towels seemed clean, but the rest of the room/premises were filthy. The kitchen was never open, the carpet was thin & scratchy, and didn’t seem to have been replaced or cleaned since the 1970s, the toilet seat was crooked, and the stall shower in my room had a shocking amount of black mold. The pictures of the patio furniture were inaccurate. They had old wooden picnic benches with overflowing ashtrays. I don’t mind old or small, but this was unhygienic.

Photos on Hotels.com deceiving. We were not expecting deluxe accommodations but bathroom shower mold and mildew. Room was on ground level with a window on the street without security bars so I’d window was opened anyone could climb in. Being summer we needed ventilation as there was no AC. Fan provided was inadequate and filthy. This was more like a youth hostel than “luxury accommodation “ quoted on their sign.

Stayed in room 7 for 1 night. Location is excellent & close to everything. Room needs investment & cleaning standards simply aren't good enough. See photos of mould in the bathroom & shower. Shower mixer tap was broken so had to fetch the manager to adjust it. New bathroom urgently needed. At £80 room only it isn't worth the money as only hostal standard. Great location though so investment could really help.

Good accommodation, clean, well-presented, suitable for solo visitor or couple. Very close to town centre which was good for me as I have no transport and some mobility difficulties so cannot walk far without a rest. Only thing to bear in mind is it is quite a tight staircase up to the room. I managed ok though even though I do have some mobility issues. Good value for money.

Staff pleasant and food very good.

Late arrival was no problem and we were able to store our luggage after check out to finish touring the town. Staff made sure someone helped us up the stairs with our luggage and were willing to provide all we needed. The only thing that was tricky was half our bed was lopsided, so my husband felt he was falling out of his side.

Very convenient in the middle of Stratford Upon Avon. 10min easy walk from train station. Friendly staff. Comfy room and bed. Stairs are steep so if you have mobility restrictions could be a little awkward but not many steps and I had no issue with it. Some noise in the morning around 7.30am with keg delivery for the pub downstairs which woke me but if you're an early riser that wouldn't be an issue and was niyand peaceful the rest of the time. Overall an excellent stay and I'll be back!

Staff made sure someone helped us up the stairs with our luggage and were willing to provide all we needed. The only thing that was tricky was half our bed was lopsided, so my husband felt he was falling out of his side.

Room was very narrow and not cleaned, whilst I was staying. No Table in room. Reception was not opened before 2-3 p.m. Internet password complicated, had to be taken down from back of the rooter on the landing.

The room and especially the bathroom needs refurbishing. The staff is friendly and very helpful, really can’t fault them. Hotel in a fantastic location, just a short walk to anywhere you want to go.

for location you cannot fault this Hotel. ideally situated for Stratford within easy walking distance of most sites including the church that holds Shakespear's Tomb. the room was a bit basic but functional and clean. the bathroom is good size and you get some complimentary toiletries and tea and coffee. It would be handy to have the wifi details in the room and if you havent been to the area before maybe a pack of info.

Very convenient in the middle of Stratford Upon Avon. 10min easy walk from train station. Friendly staff. Comfy room and bed. Stairs are steep so if you have mobility restrictions could be a little awkward but not many steps and I had no issue with it. Some noise in the morning around 7.30am with keg delivery for the pub downstairs which woke me but if you're an early riser that wouldn't be an issue and was niyand peaceful the rest of the time. Overall an excellent stay and I'll be back!

Good accommodation, clean, well-presented, suitable for solo visitor or couple. Very close to town centre which was good for me as I have no transport and some mobility difficulties so cannot walk far without a rest. Only thing to bear in mind is it is quite a tight staircase up to the room. I managed ok though even though I do have some mobility issues. Good value for money.

On entering you see a good bar and eating area (kitchen was closed during our stay) but the location near the end of the High Street put many of the towns other pubs and eateries close to the hotel. Car parking was at the NCP just around the back. As to be expected in such an old building, it had many quirky features, but the room had everything we needed and we got a few good nights sleep.

A great place to stay right in the center of Stratford upon Avon, the staff were very welcoming and accommodating, My only comment would be is that the food which my companion thaught was great I found the fish I had over cooked, but I would definitely go there again.

Room was newly decorated and clean. Plenty of coffee and tea sachets to go with kettle. Iron and ironing board provided plus toiletries. Old building so for those with mobility issues, would recommend room 7 on ground floor. Personally, myself and my wife had difficulty with uneven staircase, especially with a case. Staff pleasant and food very good.

Very enjoyable stay. Great staff, pleasant rooms (our group had 2), didn't sample the food other than breakfast which was fine, though we did enjoy time spent in the bar and the outdoors area. Fairly easy to park outside for £1 but only for an hour, use the NCP car park which just round the corner £12 per 24 hours and you can easily get to the back entrance to the Queens Head no more than 100yds away at the end of the service road next to the car park entrance.

I will say that the staff were kind, the hot water worked, and the sheets & towels seemed clean, but the rest of the room/premises were filthy. The kitchen was never open, the carpet was thin & scratchy, and didn’t seem to have been replaced or cleaned since the 1970s, the toilet seat was crooked, and the stall shower in my room had a shocking amount of black mold. The pictures of the patio furniture were inaccurate. They had old wooden picnic benches with overflowing ashtrays. I don’t mind old or small, but this was unhygienic.

It was adequate for a one night stay. Very tired looking, could do with an update. On the ground floor, street level so felt on view. Single coat hanger on the back of the door, broken door handle. On the positive side, it's in a great location for shopping and theatre.

The Queen's Head is small, comfortable, good value, and convenient to local sights, but it's fairly basic inn-style accommodation above a lively pub. Staff are friendly and helpful, but they are mostly pub staff. The bar across the street is noisy in the evenings (some wonderfully bad karaoke), which some guests may find disruptive. Its main virtue is that it is cheap, clean and convenient.
