Staff is excellent. Great location for what we were doing.
Lisa
First time we have stayed and will definitely be going back, large clean rooms, friendly and helpful staff, food really nice.
However! If the football is on and you want to watch it in a calm , nice environment this really isn't the place, its brilliant for football lovers, it was wall to wall people inside and out, it was a fight to get back to our room ! I loved the atmosphere! Felt sorry for the staff as they didnt know where to start .
All in all a lovely hotel, lovely food, beautiful views and comfy rooms

The property was very clean in the rooms but the veranda was really dirty and dusty it looked like it had never been cleaned the bed was really clean and comfortable and it had a massive TV in the room and some exercise things too. The bathroom was clean and towels were lovely and with toiletries provide it was a bit far from train station to walk but the bus stop was nearby as it was a bit expensive to use taxis. They had lots of outdoor space to eat and drink as you were next to the Caversham bridge where you could get a boat ride it had lots of things going on inside the hotel a gym,swimming pool, sauna and steam room and jacuzzi. There was good air conditioning in the room due the the really hot weather a good coffee maker was also in the room it was a bit exspensive as there wasn’t any breakfast included but all in all a wonderful stay

Kieran
Amazing hotel! My partner and I have a wonderful stay! One of the best Village hotels we’ve stayed in
Adriana
Great location by the River Thames and a nice vibe. You can walk into town if needed. Staff were lovely and helpful.
Lawrence
Everywhere was spotlessly clean and the staff were friendly and accommodating. We had a large van that we were able to park in the car park opposite and the staff were very quick to come over and raise the barrier for us.
Jaye
Lovely location and very clean - but very busy!
Damian
This hotel is new, the staff are very helpful we didn't eat there but eaten in other village hotels and the food from the bar and grill is good but we don't have the breakfast as we don't think it's good. The pool and facilities are amazing
Russell
Great place look forward to returning :-)

Great stay. Wonderful staff and we will be back. Village Hotels are the best to stay at.
Darren
Easy to get to from the station
Warren
The room was lovely and bed supper comfy but then that would be expected as the room was expensive for what it was. Some biscuits with tea and coffee would have been nice. The toilet paper was very cheap quality which surprised me.
Shower was fabulous and a good size.
Tv was great quality and massive too.
I hand the breakfast which was …’ok’ not bad but again quality was not great. Hash browns were not great at all a lacked flavour, texture and were like overcooked deep fried triangles of mash potato. Sausage were very very cheap and not really cooked very well. I could not believe (and was disappointed by) the fact they did not have any marmalade or raspberry jam. Coffee was great and the staff were very friendly too. A variety of teas would have been good. Alternative milk options seemed to not be an available either.
I think a look at who supplies the food would be a good idea as it let the experience down rather.

Excellent facilities could just do with some extra attention to cleanliness in the gym changing area and toilets
Jodie
Clean room, lovely facilities & great location.
ROBERT
The room was excellent, well equipped, very comfortable with a first rate view from the balcony. The pool and Gym facilities were excellent, easy to use with fantastic staff. The only let down was the bar/restaurant area. The levels of noise from the assorted screens, the shouting and screaming was ridiculous. Ordering food was difficult as the app system was glitchy and talking to staff near impossible due to the noise levels. The menu sounds great, the reality somewhat different. The food was not upto the standard advertised and as such overpriced. Am Amazing Hotel well positioned with great facilities seriously let down by a sports bar and the mentality that comes with it, a real shame.
Adrian
Nice modern room with excellent bed and superb shower
Claire
This was my first experience staying a village hotel, weekend stay. For me, it’s essentially a private gym with a hotel attached, probably in the same sleeping accommodation market as premier inn and pricing bracket.
A fee £5.00 payable to use the gym and pool, unless you have upgraded to a club room. Be aware if you like a leisurely evening swim and chill in the jacuzzi the pool closes at 8pm on weekends. Very disappointing , as , had I have known this , i would not have booked the hotel.
Location of hotel is good for days out around Berkshire. Weekdays you’ll need an early start to catch breakfast, as it finishes as 9.00am, Weekends 10.30am.
Breakfast for me was just “ok” No sign of a piece of fruit or yogurt, granola. There was English breakfast, didn’t look particularly appealing , toast and pastries, served in the sports bar / cafe area. Again , nothing hotel like about it. It’s a typical private gym, food area…David Lloyd type of thing.
We had a twin room, very clean and comfortable, powerful shower. Black out blind amazing , you have no idea what time of the morning it is, 0 morning light, but set your alarm, You’ll sleep past breakfast.
Be prepared to ask for an extra bath towel/ hand towel as only 1 of each provided per room.
Carparking £10.00 for 24hrs.
Would I stay again …probably not , but that’s my personal preference. It was outside my expectations of a “hotel with a pool “ stay.

Rooms had very little sound insulation, was woken up multiple times in the night with doors banging, someone in the interconnecting room switched the TV on ridiculously loud at 1am and then was woken in the morning by someone being sick multiple times in the neighbouring room. Won’t stay again..

Breakfast needs a re think. 15 mins to get a fried egg is not really acceptable and the choice of items limited. Hot food was not particularly hot.
Lenny
Rude bar staff
Michele
Still a few things under construction but otherwise can not fault this hotel. Beautiful rooms helpful staff. Didn’t have time to use pool or gym but they did look great
Mehmet
Lovely hotel, clean room, great amenities.
Richard
Clean room, helpful friendly staff. Still has that \"new hotel\" smell :-)
paul
Modern, fresh and the staff were fantastic.
Martyn
Clean, nicely decorated room. Very comfortable bed, excellent pillows, good quality floor coverings. Could have done with at least one chair. The building work detracts from the offering but at least that’s not permanent. The filtered water tap is a nice addition, as is the coffee pod machine.
Only small downsides: too few towels, no sweeteners, only three hangers.

Ricky
Great hotel! However you should pay for the Carpark in the hotel, not using the parking app as it’s cheaper in the hotel
Attila
During my 3 nights stay I had no room service at all. Unfortunately the swimming pool was closed for the whole week, but leisure fee was still charged at full price per night.
Elizabeth
Very clean room and lovely big bed. Didn’t find WiFi password? Found the sports bar good but when sitting nearby couldn’t hear what was being said. Perhaps they need a proper quiet corner for family & friends to meet and chat. Would stay again and staff were lovely on reception. Found breakfast layout slightly trickier and didn’t flow for us. Saying all that would stay again. Had a lovely room with balcony and view of the river
