On first impression I was dissapointed with my "prison cell" style small single room. The bed was wedged against one wall with a small bedside table alongside. A small T.V was positioned atop the closet. The bed turned out to be surprisingly comfortable, the room was exceptionally well maintained and the selection of tea & coffee was accompanied by a...

The staff are friendly & efficient, the food was of a nice standard (and resonably priced) and as a lone female traveller I felt quite at home in the bar and restaurant. This would have been rated "vey good" if the walls/ceilings in the bedroom weren't paper thin. If you are a light sleeper you might like to ask for... More

I use this hotel regularly for drinks with clients as it is very close to Reading town centre but also a quick and simple drive from the M4. We also recommend this hotel to clients when staying in the area and they are always happy. I personally stayed for the first time last night, as a treat for my fiancées... More

Only negative is the evening meals poor choice and poor quality which is a real shame as there are not many options close... More

I have stayed in this hotel for more times than I can remember weeks at a time as well... I don't understand the negative reviews I have read because every time I've stayed here as with the 8+ collleagues I stay with, all think this hotel is full of life and quality.. The staff are by far the most helpfull... More

I like this hotel. I often have to travel to reading on business and my company has an account with the calcot. I've been coming here since 1997 and have seen the place improve over that time. It has more character than a travel lodge or premier inn and the staff are attentive. Decent food and beer is on offer... More

I have read some bad reviews of this hotel but thought i would write my own. Just outside Reading which can be reached by bus. All the staff are friendly and make everyone welcome.

Stayed for a longer weekend this time to visit family. Nice hotel with friendly staff who even managed to remember us. As we had a great time dining in the restaurant the last visit, we did the same again (for birthday celebration) and it was another great experience. Food and wine selection was good...brilliant atmosphere! Good breakfast choice with friendly... More
