Berkshire Pet-friendly Hotel

"The whole place felt and smelt so clean. It was a cheap room and we were not expecting much but so very pleased. Only fault was we purposely booked because we thought it had a charging point for an electric vechical but this has not been the case for a while now."

"Great internet, excellent bathroom, nice room...! Staff has been welcoming and helpful. Restaurant at the hotel is also very good, the bar has a lot of happenings, and there is a pool available, with sauna and steam bath. Fitness is also great, so overall it is a great place to stay!"

"Looking shabby, needing an update!"

"Stayed in academy room. Basically an OK room but uncomfortable bed, cold with only a thin duvet. Did ‘t sleep well as a result. "

"Great"

"Nicely refurbished rooms … The Hotel is bang in the centre of things, sadly the front of house refurbishment work limited their full potential when we stayed but I’m sure it will look great when it’s finished .. "

"What is this hotel like if you're not part of the target market? Off-season and mid-week the prices are good, so even without kids we decided to stay. Short version: It's pretty odd, but it works well for the price, and the breakfast is very good. First, it's all set up to be very busy, with online check-in and no human interaction. It's strange to be there when it's quiet, but hard for the systems to adapt. For example though mostly empty, trying to arrange for a check-in before 4pm (when the automated system is programmed to first release your keys) was impossible: The number in the booking email was never answered, and the response to an email request was direction to use a different phone number (with different music) that also was never answered. Showing up early caused a bit of confusion - there is no registration desk, it's computer only. But the 'concierge' staff were lovely, and after consultation with an unseen manager, we were told we could check in early, though for a fee nearly equal to one nights' stay. Not a lot of choice at that point so we agreed, and they kindly looked after luggage until the room was ready. And in the end there was no fee charged. The Kingdom room was good (and would have been great if we'd brought two kids, and ok even with three). We didn't get into the pool, hours are very limited. But the breakfast was far above average for a production breakfast buffet, a good variety. Strange to book for an empty bfast room. But recommended!"

"Simple check in "

"Very good value, quiet location but walkable to restaurants and tourist sites, and a truly excellent, friendly and helpful staff. "
