I stayed here for three nights while in Reading on business, hotel is located in the middle of nowhere so if you want to go out in the evening you will need taxis or a car to get anywhere. Room was generally grubby and unloved and the bathroom had clearly been cleaned in a hurry with stains on the floor... more

Unusually didn't read reviews before booking this one. Stay regulalry in other Copthornes which have been fine, and often dined at them. this trip was 40th birthday treat for friend. When I put her on the train at the end of the weekend, she said she was going to contact environmental health about the place.......... The lake is lovely. General... more

I booked to stay here on Business recently based on some of the good reviews on the site but i wish now that i had taken more note of the 2 star and below ratings as they are way more accurate. This hotel desperately needs a refit and quickly. The rooms are very basic with very old bathrooms and not... more

Only stayed for one night but the staff were lovely. We arrived early at 12 noon and our room was ready so we had plenty of time to get changed and go out and explore the area. We had a few drinks in the bar in the evening and the staff were very friendly and let us switch up the... more

We only wanted somewhere to sleep for one night & decided to take a risk on this hotel as we had an excellent deal by internet booking. I am so glad we did, it was so relaxing it felt like a mini holiday! We had a clean, spacious top floor room (321) with a balcony & an amazing easterly view... more

I booked the Copthorne because it looked interesting on their website. I was attending a conference at Reading University. It was a mistake. Apart from the fact that it's miles from anywhere, it's tired and sums up all that's wrong with the average British hotel. From the leaky tap to the breakfast that took so long I had to leave... more

We stayed at the hotel on friday evening, reception area is really nice and spacious, the lift had scratches and writing in it, and as we left the lift to our room we noticed a smell, (each corridor smells like a dirty old peoples home!) Our room was an executive suite and first noticed that bathroom was really outdated and... more

As i'm the organiser for our company social events, i was tasked with finding a suitable venue for our 75th Anniversary. After viewing several venues i decided on the Copthorne because of it's location to our business, location & surrounding of hotel and it's stand alone conference/event facilities building. The whole process was very easy, to book and choose food... more

Stayed here for one night and thoroughly enjoyed it! Room was very clean and view was lovely looking out onto the lake. Had a 3 course meal in the restaurant which was excellent. Staff very attentive . Breakfast was excellent too! Can't wait to visit again. more
