The first time we arrived our neighbours were playing loud music, we asked to move and we got told by the staff they'd give them a sound warning, which they did and fortunately they turned the music down. Our room wasn't the cleanest, there was hairs in the shower and bed and where our towels were in the wardrobe were very dusty. My partner had a bath and the water flooded out of the bottom of the bath. Whilst we was out, someone had come into our room and changed our bed and towels, even though we hadn't put a sign on our door to say we had needed it and we had only been there for one night. The duvet cover was dirty, and had a poo stain on it (i do have a photo if needed) we asked for another one and the receptionist said he was new and didn't know where anything was and would have to wait until another member of staff came in..

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!

Needs a refurb.

Firstly i have to say the staff were all very helpful and fiendly. We stayed there due to it being close to an event we were attending. Good points are it was easy to find and good free parking. The hotel itself however is sorely in need of a refurb of the rooms and the public areas. Everything is clearly old, tatty and well past its best. Our bathroom had a drainy smell but this smell was present in many parts of the hotel including the bar area and the corridors. Cooked breakfast was ok but the continental choice was a bit lacking. My wifes big bug bear is rooms that dont have mirrors on dressing tables so she can do her hair and makeup so dragging a chair over to the wardrobe to use the only mirror which was actually inside the wardrobe whilst trying to make the hairdryer reach certainly didnt get her vote. My summary, ok for a night but dont set your expectations high. It is what it is, an oldish, unloved, unmodernised, outdated, in places grubby and in need of a oaint job, but if all you want is a bed for the night then thix will do. By the way, bed was comfy.

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.

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.
