"I always enjoy staying here. It's very comfy and safe and the staff are very pleasant. I liked using the spa - recommend arriving early as there are only really two full length swim lanes. The breakfast is lovely - lots of choice and relaxed. It's great that poached eggs are provided without needing to ask (again, get there early). I use the bath, and it's so good to have that option. I'd a little trouble with the hot water and on/off controls (though I worked it out, almost - not without some panic once when water refused to stop flowing.) You'll need to check there are accessibly available products for those not standing in the shower - again, just ask. Also check the hairdryer - if not as powerful as you like, they have others. The Perspex shower door was a real nuisance - I collided with it a few times (unnecessary for bath users but still swinging around). My telephone was also disconnected but I used an outside line."

"The hotel is at the motorway service station but it is surprisingly quiet for the location. The hotel is a little dated but the room was very clean and comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Staying for one night on the way to the Malvern Show it worked perfectly for us."

"Friendly, very helpful staff. Loved our breakfast. Room nice and clean, maybe a little dated, but nice enough. Great location."

"The staff were attentive and helpful, even helping us with our luggage when we checked in past midnight. Thank you! However, the property is need of some TLC and maintenance. Room sizing varies greatly even in the same category of room (a group of us stayed with 3 separate bookings so we know), the phones never worked even to speak to reception (even when we called from our mobiles no one ever answered over 2 days) and the hotel is like a warren with rooms on the same floor spread out across various corridors and up and down stairs making it difficult to navigate and move luggage around. Parking on site was helpful though £10 a night feels an excessive fee. When checking in an unsavoury duo walked into the hotel (after midnight) armed with alcohol and a hostile attitude - they were not staying at the hotel. Staff dealt with it well but I can’t help wondering why anyone can just walk into the hotel at anytime."

"The hotel is lovely and very convenient for Cheltenham x and the Spa is lovely"

"Speedy check-in, room as described, parking simple, safe and onsite"

"Dated room with no AC, but has everything needed."

"This is a beautifully charming hotel with loads of history, right in the heart of Stratford Upon Avon (and walking distance to all tourist attractions)."

"Booked the stay last minute for the Jazz Festival,and so glad we chose Malmaison. Alex at the front desk was fantastic,friendly and very welcoming and we were also able to park in the underground garage. We stayed in a Club deluxe room which was amazing,overall couldn’t fault anything,this hotel will now be our go to hotel in Cheltenham."
