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.

Stayed here whilst attending a work function in the area. Would not go back here of my own freewill. The room had no AC, and in the middle of summer it was unbearable. Had to sleep with the balcony door open to cool down! No free internet, minimal choice of TV channels, single beds and the location is miles away... more
