Village Hotel Reading

Great hotel with excellent rooms and facilities

The hotel and all other considerations a great, what does let the hotel down is the poor breakfast, having stayed a number of times I have consistently found this wanting. I come up for work from Devon once a month and aesthetic and atmosphere are everything to me whilst I am away from home on Business. A good start to my day is also a requirement and this prerequisite is a good edible breakfast. I'm not going to get into the detail, everyone knows what a good breakfast looks like, it doesn't take much imagination, I am no food critic, but they are missing a trick here. I did eat the pervious evening in the hotel restaurant and found this to be satisfactory, my steak and frites was very nice. Yes a disappointing start to my working day.

Fantastic, couldn’t fault anything, lovely location overlooking the Thames, fantastic food. Brilliant breakfast.

Nice room but basic amenities like tissue paper and bottled water not offered in the room, and sports bar/starbucks not our preferred facilities for dinner/breakfast.

Rooms were very nice spacious and clean toilets were really clean. If only the hotel could add mini fridges for rooms would be 10 on 10 over all I recommend this hotel for stay 🙂

We booked the hotel because it advertised disabled access and accessible bedrooms. My father is wheelchair bound and therefore access is extremely important as it is challenging travelling with him. When we arrived the hotel lifts were out of order. The staff said the only option was to use the staff service lift which is through 4 doors which don't hold open and are very narrow on the ground floor. It was extremely challenging to get him to and from his bedroom and he found it very distressing. The wheelchair lifts to/ from the hotel restaurant kept getting stuck and the emergency stop button was missing from one of them so we had to prize the stuck button open to use the lift. Both dangerous and stressful. The hotel should have notified us that their lifts were not working so we could have found an alternative hotel that had proper disabled access. The staff, whilst apologetic, obviously weren't at all bothered by our predicament and watched us struggle through doors and using the lift with no offers of assistance. Absolutely disgusting from a hotel that gets such good reviews. Clearly they aren't from disabled users.

The Village has no soul it is a cold atmosphere. Everything and everyone was perfect to ensure there is no complaint. The bottom line is the most important thing

Great property to stay in, had no issues at all and would recommend to anyone, especially those travelling on business to the area.

Just perfect for our stay in Reading

Place is clean, has air conditioning, breakfast is quite nice as well , but it is a bit noisy

Excellent hotel wonderful stay

Staff is excellent. Great location for what we were doing.

This is not more than ok. Rooms are fine, but nothing more. The area it self is not as expected.

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

Great place to stay. Friendly helpful staff. Feels like a village. Good connections to London and Henley. Room WiFi did not work.

Professional

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

Lovely spacious, modern, clean room. Great staff but a bit disorganised bar service. Great pool.

Great location and walkable to the train station

A very nice hotel, very comfortable, air-conditioning is great especially on these hot weather, remember to bring your own slipper though.
