Could do with a extra blanket it was cold and no heating ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Garry Jan 8, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Didn't go for food or drink. Hotel is good location. Room and facilities low standard, though clean (mostly), not very comfortable and some issues. Bed head presses against light switch and bed wobbles, thus the light kept going on/off. Kettle broken and room was super cold at night. To be fair it was -6 or so outside. Staff were nice and friendly and for the price and location it was fairly good. Star lost for lack of capacity to make tea without leaving the room! ##### Garry Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### Daniela Dec 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities I had a very good experience during my stay at Hotel 1843\. The check-in process was smooth, and the receptionist was extremely kind and helpful. This is a budget hotel, so some areas like the corridors, paintwork, and carpets are a bit outdated—but for the price we paid, it was excellent value. Our room was very spacious, with good water pressure in the shower. It was quiet, very warm (make sure you open the radiator!), and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was included in the price, which was a nice bonus. The breakfast was simple but practical: cereal, bread with butter and jam, boiled eggs, juice, water, coffee, and tea—just what you need to start the day. If anyone wants a more elaborate breakfast, there are plenty of places nearby in Reading. Check-out was smooth as well. Overall, I really enjoyed my one-night stay and would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a budget-friendly option in Reading ##### Daniela Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Carly Dec 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good, spacious room and excellent value.

Historic building, lots of character. Breakfast was croissants, muffins, toast, juice and great strong coffee! The bed was huge and comfy, no street noise. Close to restaurants in town. Definitely recommend this hotel, it’s different and quirky with a big personality. ##### Geoff Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gareth May 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly and helpful staff, very clean rooms with daily service, great powerful shower, very comfy bed, close to local amenities ##### Gareth Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Daniel Aug 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Quaint little hotel with comfortable rooms. ##### Daniel Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosie Aug 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely welcoming property in a great location.

Hair gel under bed wasnt mine and cleanliness definitely not great. Good location if you are parking a van though as carpark with no height restriction close. ##### Dave Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert Feb 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is very close to Reading town centre and train station, so staying here was very convenient. The staff were friendly and responsive to our needs. The bed was soft, and the shower was powerful. The location is difficult to access by car, however, on account of the UK's bizarre addiction to one-way streets. ##### Robert Stayed 10 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### tracy Jun 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Lovely period property noisy fellow guests next door but this can happen anywhere will not stop us booking again ##### tracy Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt Nov 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities They let us check in late and the room was clean ##### Matt Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew Oct 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Central located and walkable.

Was like staying at grandma's, was clean and the bed was comfy but everything else was old, dated, and tired and a bit fusty, shower made awful noise. Carpet was all wrinkled= tripping hazard. The staff were very nice and to be fair u get what u pay for, would i stay again? probably!! just needed a bed and a quick shower no time for a cuppa or tv but was available in the room. Was close to station so very handy. Maybe change carpets and curtains and less lights in the room and remove wallpaper just stick to plain walls cheap fix will make it look better and brighter :) ##### Laura Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Richard May 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Nice staff. My Room was massive and very clean. Nice bed. Very tired decor though. bathroom clean but even more tired. Hotel really needs an upgrade. Has the potential to be somewhere special but needs work. ##### Richard Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Vacation Rentals](?equalTargetTab=tab-4) - [Things to Do](?equalTargetTab=tab-5) - [The Mill House](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Hotels-The-Mill-House.h1381791.Hotel-Information) - [Blagrave Rooms](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Hotels-Blagrave-Rooms.h2272690.Hotel-Information) - [Pentahotel Reading](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Hotels-Pentahotel-Reading.h5138.Hotel-Information) - [Hilton Reading Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Hotels-Hilton-Reading-Hotel.h2650202.Hotel-Information) - [Bow Guest House](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Hotels-Bow-Guest-House.h1381763.Hotel-Information) - [Swollows House](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Hotels-Swollows-House.h89989165.Hotel-Information) - [Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Hotels-Sure-Hotel-By-Best-Western-Reading.h64058.Hotel-Information) - [The Crown at Playhatch](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Hotels-The-Crown-At-Playhatch.h4386544.Hotel-Information) - [The Great House, Sonning, Berkshire](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Hotels-The-Great-House-At-Sonning.h4262991.Hotel-Information) - [The Swan at Streatley](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Hotels-The-Swan-At-Streatley.h36990026.Hotel-Information) - [The Reading Lake Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Hotels-The-Reading-Lake-Hotel.h47721.Hotel-Information) - [Premier SUITES Reading](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Hotels-PREMIER-SUITES-Reading.h15864193.Hotel-Information) - [Premier Inn Reading Central](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Hotels-Premier-Inn-Reading-Central.h11785865.Hotel-Information) - [The Six Bells](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Hotels-The-Six-Bells.h91349201.Hotel-Information) - [The Roseate Reading](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Hotels-The-Roseate-Reading.h1668504.Hotel-Information) - [Novotel Reading Centre](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Hotels-Novotel-Reading-Centre.h1467769.Hotel-Information) - [Parkside International Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Hotels-Parkside-International-Hotel.h2242804.Hotel-Information) - [The New Inn - Kidmore End](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Hotels-The-New-Inn-Kidmore-End.h2297188.Hotel-Information) - [Select Serviced Accommodation - City Tower](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Hotels-Select-Serviced-Accommodation-City-Tower.h15608544.Hotel-Information) - [The Bull at Wargrave](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Hotels-The-Bull-At-Wargrave.h35099788.Hotel-Information) - [Flights to Berkshire](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Berkshire.d6046252.Flight-Destinations) - [Berkshire Vacations](https://www.expedia.com/Berkshire.d6046252.Destination-Travel-Guides) - [Car rentals near Berkshire](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Berkshire.d6046252.Car-Rental-Destinations) - [Berkshire Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Berkshire.d6046252.Vacation-Rental-Destinations) - [Things to do in Berkshire](https://www.expedia.com/Things-To-Do-In-Berkshire.d6046252.Travel-Guide-Activities)
