Having recently taken a job in Reading I needed to stay over for an evening. Viewing the pleasant photographs for this Hotel I made the fundamental mistake of not checking trip advisor.

Booked through my work for me, on entry to the hotel i noticed the 3* rating on the door (think this needs to be changed). Spoke to somebody who was staying here at the same time and they had to move rooms as they had flea bites all over them on there first night. upon entering the hotel i was... More

On approach to the Crescent Hotel you will notice it looks a little shabby but trust me the outside is the place to be !

The owner was a very friendly, welcoming person, who looked after us well. The hotel is in need of redecoration but for the cheap price it's in an ideal spot for travelling about (as we did). We had a room for 5 of us which was adequate, with an en suite shower room. The beds were a bit uncomfortable but... More
