Honest review

The hotel is a little old and could do with a refurb BUT the staff were friendly, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable and it was very quiet which for me are the four most important things in a hotel stay!

We were visiting our son who lived a 5 min drive away. It was really only somewhere for us to sleep wash and have breakfast. The hotel was ideal for us. People were very friendly and breakfast was lovely.

Adequate accommodation

1st room had a very dirty toilet. We were moved to another room as there were no cleaning staff on duty. 2nd room was adequate. Room was warm and stuffy. Small double bed. Food was good. Staff were welcoming.

Mixed bag

There was a rowdy wedding going on and staff were overstretched. Shouting and banging of doors all night. Comfortable bed, but hair in the shower. Behaviour of other guests is of course out of the staff’s control, but more staff should have been on duty in anticipation.

Hotel really nice for the price paid bar and restaurant original not over modern which was nice the room was adequate but slightly basic although comfortable. Limited dining after 9pm but that seems the norm now. Room lacked a chair but this was quickly resolved by the hotel team

Good location, hotel needs a refresh

Staff were friendly and check in was quick. Good location, right on the main road in and out of Reading. On a bus route too with frequent busses. Not much around in terms of bars / restaurants. Our room needed updating. Grubby carpet and basic facilities in room. Very warm room too. Fan provided. Hairdryers in rooms too, don't make the mistake we made and buy a hairdryer as there is one in room (hotel doesn't promote this on their website.
