Friendly, helpful, basic, plentiful, good quality food. Service as good as you could hope for but the clean room was cold and felt damp, ended up installing a couple of car air fresheners to over come the aroma. On first arrival I was ready to walk straight back out, by time to leave I would have booked to come back... more

I had to attend a party of my best friend from College who I'd found on Friends Reunited after 24yrs, luckily the party was the night before I had to pick my parents up from Heathrow airport at noon. So I did a search to find a hotel near the party and then I checked them out on TripAdvisor (cos... more

On arrival, our shower room was having it's floor relayed. The guy on reception was very helpful and apologetic - the contractors had got the wrong room. However they were almost finished, so after a complimentary drink at the bar all was OK. Bed was clean and comfortable. Needed to keep the window open with the heat which meant hearing... more

For the price you pay, this hotel is excellent value. Myself and boyfriend stayed here during the Reading Festival and found it close enough to travel to, yet far enough away to get a good nights sleep. The room we were given was large, with an ensuite shower which did the job nicely. Yes it is a bit dated in... more

having read the reviews prior to arriving, i was extremely worried about my stay here. there was ample parking to begin with and check in was quick and efficient. true, there is a damp smell and the decor looks outdated but what it lacked there was made up for with good service. i stayed in a double ensuite room which... more

The Elmhurst Hotel in Reading is old and dated the rooms could do with a lick of paint.... that's the bad points the plus points are the staff are friendly and accomodating and the beds are really comfy. If you eat in the resturant which I would suggest as the food is excellent ask for the Lamb Curry as its... more

I stayed here after doing a web search, it looked ok on the internet and from the outside, and a good location and parking......but thats the only plus points. The room smelt of smoke (pretty strong still after July ban!), I thought I had booked a non-smoking room. The bathroom had dirt and hair all over the floor, when I... more

This place was the worst! They did not mention it on their website, but this is not a non-smoking establishment. If you have breathing problems or if you want to NOT get lung cancer from second-hand smoke, stay away! If you wish a place that is clean, stay away! The room we got was tiny. There was hardly room to... more

I stayed here for 4 days while attending a sage course a couple of weeks ago. The hotel is pretty average, but at the same time theres certainly nothing wrong with it... the Rooms were pretty basic but clean and well sized, the bed comfy and the shower nice and hot. The one thing that this hotel DOES have going... more
