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!

Booked as it was the nearest hotel to Engelfield House where we were attending a concert. Just needed a bed for the night and it did the job.

Booked for one night as was at an event. The room was clean and basic but it was roasting hot and there was no air con. There was a fan provided but it did little to help.

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.

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.

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.

There was a shortage of staff with the receptionist attending the bar as well Cleaning equipment was left in corridor. Bed was terrible. So lumpy! Another guest arrived after 1am and walls were paper thin so could hear conversation. We didn’t have breakfast so cannot comment on this.
