We arrived and were given a room which smelt of stale tobacco and was full of rubbish. There was a drawer in the dressing table full of decaying food from the previous residents. We were given another room which was much better. First morning stale croissants and very little choice to eat. Tea in thermos, warm yogurts etc However the... More

I had been booked into here by work and the reviews on Tripadvisor didn't exactly thrill me. I have to say it was quite good. Clearly effort has been put into refurbishing the rooms - one or two unfinished matters but it was clean, the bed was comfortable, good carpet and some amusing personal touches. The cooked breakfast was made... More

I came with my son to visit my old school. The hotel room was comfortable and well appointed. The building itself is charming. Although close to the Railway, there was no intrusive noise -just a momentary whoosh as the train shot by. The English Breakfast was plentiful and kept us going until tea time. Staff were very cordial.

It was a very noisy hotel positioned right next to the main train line to London. Throughout the night it was still noisy and we had not been notified this may be a possibility. The room was pleasant enough and a good size, but the bathroom was in desperate need of updating and repair. Our room was directly above the... More

We booked this hotel for 3 nights and had booked 2 rooms, bothat the same rate... One room (though needed modernising) contained a 4 poster bed, sofa, huge bath (shower barely worked but functioned fine as a bath), and Free Sat TV. The other room had a pull out bed which you could feel the springs of the matters on,... More

Very poor hotel, overpriced, rooms incredibly small and basic with stains on the carpet, waste from the sink in the bathroom leaked onto the floor. Right next to the railway line so noisy as windows were not sound proofed. Receptionist thought it was funny when we complained about the room saying it was one of their better rooms and they...

I stayed here a couple of times over recent years, and I have never been disappointed. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I was stranded in Reading [Due to blizzard conditions] canceling my flight from Heathrow. I was unfortunate enough to be stranded over Christmas eve, and day, so was one of few guests staying in hotel. The room was... More

When I called to make the booking the man was very nice and helpful so I really wanted to like this place (as it could be useful, we have friends that live in Pangbourne) but sadly we didn't manage to sleep at all because of the express trains hurtling past the hotel all through the night. The room was OK,... More

Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights as it was convenient for a family wedding. The room we had was reasonably presented but was very tired and dated as was the decor. There was little or no attention to detail. Limited contintental breakfast was included but this meant even putting your own bread in the toaster. There was no access... More
