This is how hotels should be run. Owner was an absolute gentleman. Interactions were friendly and relaxed. Breakfast was a delight. Immaculate table settings. Efficient, without losing the British customer service that British hoteliers were once renowned for. this is not old fashioned; it's good customer service. Thank you.
Nice little place to stay for an overnight stop-over. The staff are very helpful and accommodating, I asked to fill my water bottle from the kitchen and also leave some ice packs in the freezer over night. I stayed in a single room at the back annexe which was quite warm but cosy, the bed was very soft (not to my particular liking) but may suit others. Really nice shower and generally quiet position being at the back of the property away from the road. Very convenient location for where I needed to be early the next day and easy check in/check out. Thank you for having me.
Stayed for one night. Room was clean, bed was comfortable and bathroom was very nice. Host was friendly, checked me in and showed me to my room. Would definitely prefer to use this hotel as opposed to one in the centre of Reading (where I have stayed before).
The hotel was very clean and tidy and very quiet. The room was comfortable. There’s a handy Beefeater restaurant across the road. Our only issue was that breakfast wasn’t included in the price and we felt £15 per person was rather expensive.
It got off to a rather disappointing start. I had to wait at a locked entrance door for longer than I would have liked after a long car journey. However the rest of the stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as that experienced on previous visits. Spacious single room and pleasant cheerful staff. Excellent parking area and convenient location.
Really good 1 night stay for a business trip, fantastic friendly service and a great breakfast

This is a friendly and, for our purposes, well situated hotel, quiet and well appointed. Staff members remembered us from a previous visit, which is always nice. A little quibble regarding our room was attended to straight away, and the standards of cleanliness were very high.

Pleasant room near to Reading central
Nice welcome by a friendly young man, even carried my bags to the room. The decor of the whole place was what I remember from my grandmother’s house, yet it was clean and tidy - just old. As we’re the bathroom fitting and wall papers. Didn’t eat here, so can’t comment on the food, other than the cooked breakfast looked good as I walked through the dinning room on my way out. Would probably stay there again as reasonably priced.

Very comfortable, clean, and quiet. The staff were very helpful. We had to leave very early for a flight so I cannot comment on the breakfast but our stay was great.

located about 1.5 miles from town centre. This is a super hotel with car secure parking and great customer service. If ever in the Reading area and you have time this is a must stay.

Made a refreshing change from the sterile atmosphere of the Hilton. Umar and Nazlee took the time to remember what we like to have for breakfast although I like to mix it up a bit. Umar gave me a choice of rooms.
Beautiful gardens to the rear. Reminded me of my Uncle's hotel in the 70's. Lovely building as the photos show.
Although I was only there for a few hours overnight, the location was perfect, just across the road from a Beefeater, the hosts were welcoming and very helpful, the room was well appointed and the WIFI was great. The bed was really comfortable and all the facilities were clean and presentable. I cannot rate the breakfast as we left before this was served.

We felt welcomed and comfortable. All requests were responded to quickly and efficiently. This was a last minute booking after we were let down badly somewhere else, so we were both impressed and relieved to be treated so well.

I would rate 7/10
There are lots of positives about this hotel. Car parking, friendly staff, peaceful and there’s a pub over the road that’s reasonably priced and good quality.
The decoration and facilities are very dated and in need of modernising.

Thank you for taking time and expressing your views, we do try to keep the balance between modernising and keeping it traditional, however, when you are here next and if possible we will give you option to choose between the rooms as all rooms have different decor and hope we will find something for you which tick all the boxes. Once again, thank you for sharing your opinion
My favourite place to stay in reading when I am staying for work, friendly kind owners.
Quite clean rooms.

Average stay
I chose this hotel because of the excellent reviews. Although my stay was adequate and I would certainly stay again if there was few alternative I cannot agree with the 9/10 reviews. The building and interior os old and dome of the decor tired, there was a draft from some of the windows, the room i stayed in was quite small. Additionally, the breakfast was disappointing. However the staff were very friendly and helpful, the bed was really comfortable and overall as i say the stay was adequate for what I needed. My only reason for addressing these points is to balance the 9/10 reviews as i feel these misled me.
Hard to fully review as I only stayed solo overnight as somewhere to crash after a family wedding.
What I did experience was clean and pleasing. The male receptionist was polite and helpful. Only downside was the unfortunate false fire alarm at 07.15 Sunday.
Bed comfy & slept well. Nice power shower.
This was a really clean room and bathroom with such a polite and warm welcome. I didn't stay for breakfast, but any requests were accommodated for during our 1 night stay for the 3 of us.
