Reading Hotels with Bars

🌟 **Highly Recommend! (4 Big Pros)** **Prime Location:** Only a 6-minute walk from Reading Station! This distance was a lifesaver for me, traveling with a whole family, big luggage, and three kids. **Suburban Hub:** It's just over 20 minutes by train to Oxford, and very close to the stunning Cotswolds. This is the perfect alternative to save on expensive London accommodation. **Amenities Galore:** Within walking distance of the hotel, you'll find local historical sites, museums, and several large parks, which are super convenient for letting the kids burn off energy. **Dream Trip Enabler:** The overall convenience made our dream European trip incredibly smooth; we could head out whenever we wanted. ⚠️ **Heads Up! (2 Cons/Challenges)** **Stairs – The Ultimate Boss (Top Floor Attic):** We happened to stay in the small attic room on the very top floor. While the natural light and space were cozy, we had to haul our large luggage all the way up to the 3rd floor (which in the UK feels like the 4th floor)! The stairs are numerous and narrow. If your luggage is too heavy, you'll seriously question your life choices. I highly recommend packing light if you stay here! **No Indoor Slippers Provided:** This hotel doesn't provide slippers (a common eco-friendly practice in old European hotels and B&Bs). If you're used to wearing slippers, remember to bring your own from Taiwan.

The Holiday with my spouse was fantastic and relaxing. The hotel has everything including Spa, Gym and Swimming in a very good location and it's very neat. The only problem I had was that the room I was allocated didn't have window which is the only fault and disappointment other than that the hotel is best and biggest i have ever been. Lest I forget, the room was extremely massive with lounge and two big TV's and I love it. Definitely going back and would recommend 👌.

Nice hotel with helpful and friendly staff. Location is good, close to downtown. Environment is nicer than in the centre. Room is big too, simple breakfast but good enough.

Check-in took 45 minutes because they couldn't find my booking - but then found it on their ”old system” and it took them that long to manually move the booking to their new system and issue me with a key card. Not impressed with that wait time at all! They offered me a free drink at the bar while I waited, but not for my wife and child! That aside, it's a comfy hotel that's better than some of its exterior and interior suggests. Hot shower, good TV, plugs and USB ports on both sides of the bed, good room temperature, Fairtrade tea and coffee. Breakfast was good, including freshly cooked options.

Booked a king size room for a couple of nights while visiting the area. The hotel is well situated for easy access to Reading, Oxford and beyond. The room was spacious, comfortable, well- equipped and very clean. It was cleaned every day with fresh towels and chocolates provided daily! Staff were exceptionally helpful. The breakfast was great - plenty of choice and hot breakfast options. Would highly recommend.

The staff is friendly and polite. Although it’s a bit of a drive from Newbury and closer to Thatcham, the location isn’t too bad. There are even public transport links, with a bus stop outside on the line that connects Newbury to Reading. I haven’t tried the food yet, as it seemed a bit expensive to me. However, there’s a pub nearby that serves excellent food. Unfortunately, there’s no air conditioning, but fans are provided.

After requesting a quiet room due to having our 11 month old with us we were placed directly above the function suite for a wedding and while testing the sound system the floor below are feet curated and the noise was crazy. The moved us rooms out of the original Manor House we requested and into the furthest room possible from all amenities on offer smaller than our original room, 3rd floor and no lift with a baby in a pram and lots of luggage. The room was also unbearably hot and a crazy sensor/light in the bathroom kept our son (and them us) all night. Not sure if recommended staying here. .

Check in was a bit slow . But stay was decent but they could work on their cleanliness as the bath tube had stains and the toilet flush was not stopping at all was running through the whole night. And bed covers had some stains as well

The over cleanliness of the hotel was pretty poor, hallways were beat up and in need of repair, the sheets were stained and there was dust everywhere. Especially dirty window seals and cigarette burns on the bedside table. The first night the adjacent rooms were arguing and playing loud music until 5am, the second night it was more quiet but the hallways smelt of ******** and every half hour or so someone was throwing stuff about in their room. It has the potential to be an outstanding stay, the staff were fine and coping well with what they have. it’s a shame the people in the area let it down. Missed breakfast so I could get some sleep once everyone had settled down before having to check out and travel again.

Really loved everything about this hotel - from my stay to the food and it’s location close to the city centre. Will definitely choose to stay here every time I visit Reading! Staff is really friendly and helpful as well - they knock on the door every morning the room!
