Friendly reception
All a bit tired and felt like it could do with a really good deep clean. Bed was fine though and location worked for one night stay.
Didn’t use the pub next door but served food.
Although just off the A4 the room was surprisingly quiet. No air con, but a small fan in the room.

Reasonable rooms but avoid the restaurant

Previous experience with Green King properties has been negative, so I was initially impressed when checking in. All reception staff were extremely polite and helpful.

The room was fairly spacious with a sofa on one side. The room was quite clean, as was the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable, and there was a large TV. The shower has good pressure and maintained a fairly constant temperature.

The main negative was the extremely hot temperature; there was only a small fan to help with this. The window barely opened, which exacerbated the problem.

The restaurant, however, was awful. Firstly, the table was sticky which makes you doubt the general hygiene within the establishment. Then, you're forced to download yet another app to order food, or join a long and not moving queue at the bar. There was no cutlery in the self serve tray, so they had to be requested from staff, these were dirty when brought to the table. The quality of the food was below average; chips stick together, too much use of the microwave, etc.

Good location in the Reading area

Basic accommodation in a convenient location. The car park is a good size and the pub next door has a decent menu for evening meal and breakfast. Also the garage nearby has a co-op store if you need any extra snacks and food. As mentioned it's in a well connected area so I'd probably use again when in the area

Good location with easy parking. Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms well cleaned and serviced. Only drawback is the bathroom which is very dated and for any older or less mobile totally unsuitable. The shower is over the bath and being an older bath is very high. With no bars on the wall in the bath area I found this very difficult to use and will put me off using what is a first class hotel. The breakfast was excellent with a good choice. Shame about the bath.

Good experience. Lovely hotel. Good could have been warmer in the evening. Great choice of drinks.
Breakfast was a little poor with rotten fruit and hard pastries.
Overall good stay.

Good value.

Generally a bit tired. Problem with shower tap but husband seemed to get it working, hairdryer not working but staff found me another. Staff were great and room comfortable. No complaints considering the price.

Away for work

The Wee Waif had friendly reception staff, explaining everything about the venue. Accomodation (I stayed in room 19) was okay, but tired, basin had a crack in it and the mattress was lumpy.
I ate in the pub attached to the accomodation and had the Chicken Tikka meal. Very nice food, but could had done with a bit more chicken. Food service was quick, and pub was really busy.

Food was disappointing. Continental breakfast looked very sad. Poor selection of very small muffins. Hot water for tea was only warm. Lunch baguette was inedible - the baguette was as tough as leather.
Room was clean and presentable. However, the carpet was threadbare at the entrance to the bathroom. The surface around the sink was damaged.
The reception desk was rarely manned.

Stay for reading visit

Would use again, although traffic into reading for 0830 is a nightmare
