Expensive for what it is. The room was tired, and other than the location had little else going for it. I eaten at restaurant in past, and that was great but hotel experience was let down. ##### Darren Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Frank Feb 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good value for money The reception staff were very welcoming and helpful. Excellent location, although the carpark is very small and was fully occupied by the time I arrived. Customers using the hotel restaurant. Public parking is nearby at £1 a night. The room was very clean and well presented, however some of the furniture is rather tired looking. There's a good choice of quality tea, coffee biscuits and bottled water in the room. I'm very happy with my stay. Sadly I had to leave early and missed the breakfast. ##### Frank Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicholas Aug 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Really enjoyed the hotel, clean but small room. Steak dinner was not cheap but really tasty, definitely recommend the steak. Staff were friendly and helpful. Only disappointment was that the bar closed at 10:30, despite me and my 2 colleagues being in the bar and hotel residents. That was the only thing that let it down. ##### Nicholas Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dennis Aug 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Boiling hot room with no aircon and just a really noisy fan. Suggest they invest in good pedestal fans with a quiet night setting. Excellent breakfast. ##### Dennis Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Richard Oct 20, 2023 Disliked: Room comfort #### Good for a couple of days Parking was an issue. Location noisy as right on a busy junction. Restaurant was good with the meat being cooked in the room which was nice. Breakfast okay but limited cold selection limited ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Richard Jan 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### Poor sleep, nice building Stayed overnight for work. Good: very nice and efficient girl for check in; comfortable bed; very good shower; nice tea/coffee/shampoo etc; large TV; room decorated nicely; good price; good breakfast service Poor: Cold room at night and morning; loud intermittent plumbing noises all night affected sleep; road noise; small carpark ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louis Dec 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Really enjoyed my stay.

We were underwhelmed with the staff and there was no notice there or in the room with the WiFi code. The bar smelled of smoke so we didn’t go in. It was convenient to Reading and near the river, so it worked for us. ##### Mary Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Neil Sep 17, 2025 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Poor experience. Very noisy, floorboards all creaking, you can hear people snoring in the next room. ##### Neil Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Angela Mar 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good sized room.
