"Good stays both times"
Staff here are really friendly at reception. I stayed here in September 2023 one time and had an issue with the sink (was my own silly mistake) and the staff member came and rectified it immediately. I stayed again recently and the person on reception was super friendly and asked me how I was etc. Really great would stay here again Plus the breakfast offers a great variety and they have a selection of tea bags to choose from The room is decent sized and comfortable, good bathroom facilities and freeview television
"What amazing helpful staff!"
I booked rooms at this hotel for a group of 16 guests visiting Reading for the weekend. They came from far and wide (Canada, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, Scotland, Sweden) to stay for three nights. All of them had disabilities, including 6 wheelchair users. I live in Reading myself and had planned a programme of activities and tours around the local area for the duration of their stay. Everything about this hotel from start to finish was perfect. I made the reservations myself and everyone paid on arrival for their rooms. The staff behind reception were welcoming, helpful and friendly. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble. I was pleased that the hotel room we had (level 4 at the back overlooking the church) was peaceful. The bed was comfortable (of course). BUT a special mention has to go to the lovely Manju, who looked after us all so well at breakfast time. She was happy to fetch coffees and food for us and had a lovely smile and a very friendly and approachable nature. Thank you Manju! You are a real star!
"Good clean & upgrade."
Unfortunately not the best premier inn we have stayed in, check in no problem with friendly helpful staff. Room was pretty poor by usual standards, noisy from the road and movement above, chip on sink and some sort of sticking tape on the ceiling! Breakfast ok we just had the continental which served its purpose, just felt the whole place needed an upgrade & good clean. Next time we visit, we will be staying at the Caversham or Winnersh hotels although not as central a lot better standard.
"Good value overall, room good, parking first come first served, breakfast chaotic, evening meal ok for the price."
Good value overall, comfortable and clean room. Just managed to get a parking space in the car park. We did the meal deal. Breakfast was quite chaotic - only two staff in the restaurant, struggling to keep up. Missing/delayed items at the breakfast bar so we didn't manage to have the full breakfast we hoped for. People standing aroung with half filled plates waiting for sausages etc. Evening meal was ok, what you'd expect for the meal deal price.
"Good experience, efficient staff"
MyPremier plus room was great but I couldn't sleep with the window open as there's a constant loud hum possibly from air-conditioning unit on roof.
