“Last, Last resort hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2007

Having left it to late to book a hotel in Reading (lesson learnt) the only available room was a £95 Executive room at Donnington House. I am not sure how they define executive but a room with 3 single beds a tiny shower and toilet (the sink is in the main room!!) does not count as an executive room to me. This is a very basic hotel however I don’t think £95 is budget! There has been no investment in the hotel, the bed cover were very old, the walls were mouldy and the so tiny & mouldy that I didn’t take a shower in the morning. I did not take breakfast I didn’t want to risk it.
My two big lessons from this visited are, if you are visiting reading book your room at least a week in advance and if you are looking to build a new mid-priced hotel build it in Reading there is definitely demand!

“Basic but acceptable”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2006

Good choice for a single traveller who needs an affordable place to stay near Reading University. A bit spartan but not bad for a short visit. Decent breakfast. Near to bus stop to go to city, or close enough to walk. Good curry restaurant across the road, supposedly you get a 10% discount if you go there and mention you are staying at donnington.
