The Hillingdon Prince Hotel is a lovely old building, located just outside the centre of Reading. The room was a good size with microwave, mini fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. The shower / bathroom was a good size too and the shower was very powerful with a constant flow of hot water. The staff were really friendly and... More

I stayed here for 3 nights as I had work in reading. On check in I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who was very helpful and gave me lots of information about the hotel and local area. My room was nicely decorated with flat screen tv and was large and very clean. The breakfast was exceptionally good and had... More

Really old building, dirty and smelly. No drinking water available. No curtain so it was light in the morning. It was so bad, i decided to leave earlier and moved to another place. Do not stay in this hotel, unless it is the only available option.

Needed somewhere in Reading at short notice and the rates at Travelodge and Premier Inn were just not worth the money being asked. Found this place on the internet and the rates were cheaper than elsewhere. Nice big Victorian building, good room with bath tub with abundant high pressure hot water, kettle & microwave and free wifi. Ample free parking... More

Perhaps I was assigned an exceptionally run-down room, but the accommodations I had at the Hillingdon Prince was extremely shabby...threadbare carpet that was literally frayed at the edges, wooden furniture rubbed raw from overuse, nubby bedspreads and sheets, a faded chair with a bowl-shaped seat cushion surpassed in sagginess only by the bumpy and bowed mattress on the bed. The... More

We booked this hotel as a one nights stay for a friends 50th Birthday. We had a lovely welcome and the hotel was very clean and tidy. The room was good, although not much of a view out the window but all the same clean. Breakfast was good, and we were able to walk into Reading in about 15 minutes.... More

The location is also excellent - just a few minutes from the University or a short walk into town. The breakfast was delicious and had something for everyone. Overall excellent stay - excellent value for money and we'll... More
