The staff and manager were very helpful, I did have a few points on the room though, we left the window open even when sleeping (with ear plugs) due to it being too warm even with moderate late August temperatures.
We also had a lack of plug sockets with some sockets that looked like very old sockets they were not allowed to remove as you couldn't plug a UK plug into them. Need to add USB A/C ports as almost everyone needs them these days.
Lovely owners and lovely staff, food and drink amazing, absolutely would stay again.
Thanks for a great friendly weekend, look forward to coming down again

The bar was very pleasant. Bedrooms near the railway very noisy. Good car parking.
Having Now Stayed At The George Hotel Several Times & Being an Ideal Location for the Events I attend It Gets Top Marks From Both Me & My Friends.

Staff are very friendly including the restaurant staff. This hotel represents good value for money and is comfortable. You can hear the trains in certain parts of the hotel which is mentioned in the hotel description, we stay at the weekend so it wasn’t really an issue but during the week I would opt for a room at the other side of the hotel which is clear when booking a room. If in the area would stay again.
Great owners, the bar had a great atmosphere and was olde world beams etc. didn't do breakfast currently but evening food looked good. a great award winning butchers opposite fir scotch eggs sausagdcrolls and pies, Costa and a co op.

The property was value for money I bit oldie worldie.
the breakfast was very nicely served.in a lovely village the only fault was its right next to the main London Train Line and the noise from the trains can make your room shake our room was 27.
Last minute stay. Room was clean and comfortable. Rail line outside but this was mentioned on the room listing and wasn't an issue for me. Friendly hosts with fab breakfast recommendations nearby. Two small private carparks either side.

For £61.50 a night in this area it is cheap, but beware that is what you get. I have stayed here many times but avoid rooms 5 and 6 as they are in the eves and bathrooms are of a very low standard other rooms much better.
Good value for workers but would not stay here for liesure.
Firstly, staff were really friendly and check in was easy.
However, the single room had a very small bed. I’m 5’11” and I did not fit in the bed or the quilt. More of a child’s bed.
The hotel is on the main road, and the traffic was incredibly noisy - woke me up at 5am.
The food was terrible, and incredibly expensive. Nearly £20 for a pizza that looked frozen.

The George at Pangbourne
Noisy neighbour with very thin wall to next bedroom. Lady at reception was happy to move me to a similar room with no fuss.
My one gripe was that at two times during booking, a ‘free breakfast’ was mentioned. This was not the case at the hotel. Finally managed to get a partial refund from Hotels.com but not before a lengthy back and forth online. Beware if the advert says ‘free breakfast’, because there probably isn’t!
Great location and friendly staff but the rooms are tired, falling apart and not clean. Our 2 bed room has stains on the carpet, a cracked floor tile in the bathroom, stains on the walls. The rooms themselves are clearly very old like the building itself but there’s no sign of keeping them feeling charming and old fashioned but still clean and functional. If it were a budget price we had paid some of it could have been overlooked but for nearly £300 for 2 nights it was no where near good enough.
Small but comfortable rooms. Had a free upgrade to doubles from the singles that we booked which was lovely. Nice and central to amenities in the town. Close to the railway so there is some train noise.
