We stayed for 2 nights in a family room, with breakfast included because we booked direct. The room was large and more than adequate for 2 adults and 1 child, the bed settee was sturdy and comfortable. The hotel did not give 5 star luxury but you are definitely not paying 5 star prices, for the price we paid we... More

We stayed for one night only, the rooms are large comfortable as mentioned before could do with updating, bed was comfy and although fairly close to the road was quiet at night. Please note that if you book direct with the hotel you get a free breakfast but not if you book through an agent. A family member had a... More

We spent 3 nights here. It's not luxury, but it's not expensive. There are signs of wear, but it's clean enough and we found the staff friendly. It is very conveniently situated on the old A4, easy to get into Reading or to reach the M4 and it has adequate parking. We had a bedroom on the car park side... More

A comfortable and friendly no frills hotel that's good value. Booking direct with them gets you a free breakfast. The location is very handy for Reading, and it is on the A4 so easy to find. We will use this hotel again. The Wee Waif doesn't look much from the outside but gives good value for money, not an easy... More

The Wee Waif is an interesting name and a good description of this hotel, a forgotten Waif. It’s a great shame really as this is not a bad place to stay but there is a lot that lets it down. Set on the edge of Twyford it’s in a good location close the A4 and has few competitors of a... More

Good value and comfortable. Stayed here whilst attending a wedding nearby. We weren't expecting wonders but frankly after hearing stories of £200 suites at alternative competition we were pleased we stayed here. Clean, quiet and friendly staff. Hangover form the party was terrible though, not the fault of the hotel mind.

The location for our visit was perfect. Because I booked direct with the Wee Waif we had breakfast Included in the price of the room. As with other reviews the WW is seriously in need of a full overhaul, it's got the look of a very tired lodge, just about being able to charge for its services offered. The room... More

The service in the bar/restaurant was poor but the room was great value and I would put up with the poor service just for the room. The restaurant is actually a "Hungry Horse" and I missed that! The bar is a sports type full of gaming machines/pool table etc. When we wanted to eat or drink we had to wait... More

For the location, the rooms are reasonably inexpensive, but there is a reason; the hotel is looking very tired and uncared for. It appears to be a former travelodge or the like, and I suspect hasn't been refurbished since then. The rooms are functional and the beds comfortable, perfectly adequate for a one-night crash pad, but not where you'd like... More
