Hotel berhampiran War Memorial, Stratford-upon-Avon

The Abbey is a very lovely hotel, set in beautiful surroundings. It’s clean and inviting. The bedrooms are spacious and I have to say the bed is the most comfortable that I’ve slept in at a hotel and believe me I’ve stayed at numerous hotels across the world. The staff are welcoming, polite and professional. They’re very accommodating. I would definitely stay there again.

The location of the hotel is not very convenient. There are no good transportation facilities, supermarkets and restaurants in the surrounding area. You need to walk for a while to reach the bus station and restaurants. The hotel's front desk clerk was very nice, but the hotel did not provide comprehensive equipment, such as slippers and hairdryers.

Everything was very good food, staff , room etc I would have given it an even better score but I object to paying for car parking.

This wasn’t up to Holiday Inn Express standards. The main problem was the total lack of organisation and poor service at breakfast. We arrived at 08.00, and had to wait the best part of 10 minutes for any bread, and then the scrambled eggs ran out (as did the sausages – though we weren’t having any in any case), and another wait, probably of around 20 minutes, followed before they were replenished. The result was that we were at least half an hour late getting on the road for our onward journey. Sort of negates the ‘Express’ bit of one’s stay, doesn’t it? There were other breakfast issues, too, including, though not limited to, chilled fruit which was still frozen. There were only seven diners, so crowds of people can’t be used as an excuse for sub-standard service. Cleaning of the tables was cursory, with crumbs wiped onto the floor rather than removed. We immediately flagged all of this up with the receptionist on duty, who was duly apologetic, promising to investigate. We had dinner the previous evening. It was just about ok, but over-priced for what we had. Just under £30 for two salads and Pepsi? Someone’s having a laugh. Oh – and the dining room wasn’t clean; one of the chairs at our table was full of crumbs. In terms of facilities, sleep quality, cleanliness, parking, and value, the hotel delivered as is usual for Holiday Inn Express. But even so, some aspects of housekeeping were lacking. The hospitality tray hadn’t been replenished (though Reception rectified this immediately), there were three bath towels, but only one hand towel, and no spare loo roll. Come on, Redditch Holiday Inn Express. You can do better than this.

Great value with friendly service Shame Wi-Fi was not working

Need to check out at 10am. It is not good for a family. Late check out need to pay 10GB per hour. It is not very clean. But the price is cheap compare to other.

Family stayed at this lovely hotel and only had good positive experiences. We previously had a bad experience of Crowne Plaza elsewhere and this stay put our faith and trust into the group again. Will stay again and recommend for events and stays.

The hotel itself is comfortable, clean and tidy. Close to airport but it is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. There are free shuttle buses going directly from hotel to Birmingham International station which is helpful. I had no issues taking shuttle bus from hotel to birmingham international, but me and a few others waited for more than 30 mins for it on our way back. Ended up having to take bus and uber back to hotel at night,
