On first impression I was dissapointed with my "prison cell" style small single room. The bed was wedged against one wall with a small bedside table alongside. A small T.V was positioned atop the closet. The bed turned out to be surprisingly comfortable, the room was exceptionally well maintained and the selection of tea & coffee was accompanied by a kettle with a well stocked supply of milk. The walk-in shower had a large, directly overhead showerhead with great water pressure. The free wi-fi is a welcome surprise.
I had dinner & drinks at the bar, staff were friendly and I thought that it was reasonably good value. Food is not available until 7pm and this is a drawback as there is a big rush for the restaurant upon opening. A 6pm start would allieviate this.
I had a meeting at a nearby business park the next morning and left my train ticket on the bedside table. I called the hotel & the helpful staff located the ticket and kept it at reception for me, when I arrived back at the hotel I enquired about a taxi to the train station (minimum fare is 10GBP) whereupon the manager,Tony offered me a lift directly there. As it was cold & raining I greatly appreciated this offer. I made my train on time and for this gesture alone I would rate this stay a pleasant experience and great value.

The staff are friendly & efficient, the food was of a nice standard (and resonably priced) and as a lone female traveller I felt quite at home in the bar and restaurant. This would have been rated "vey good" if the walls/ceilings in the bedroom weren't paper thin. If you are a light sleeper you might like to ask for a top floor room else you spend the night listening to creeky floorboards.

I use this hotel regularly for drinks with clients as it is very close to Reading town centre but also a quick and simple drive from the M4. We also recommend this hotel to clients when staying in the area and they are always happy.

I personally stayed for the first time last night, as a treat for my fiancées birthday. The staff were extremely friendly, the food was excellent and the prices were very reasonable.

I will definitely be staying again over Xmas as a treat and will continue to recommend this hotel!

Nice hotel stayed here on business for a few weeks. Very friendly clean hotel. Some rooms are a bit pokey but if you get lucky there are some which are a bit more spacious. Good free Wifi. Only negative is the evening meals poor choice and poor quality which is a real shame as there are not many options close by. They do make a great breakfast though !!
