Great breakfast buffet and clean and airy property with large windows. The only downside was the unknown fire drill that sent me fleeing out of the room and the difficulty in getting an Uber or taxi

I will start with the good bits , parking was easy but does cost £15 every 24hrs. Check in was quick and easy. Room was clean a bit dated but generally acceptable. Long day so fancied room service , firstly no menu in the room so had to get one of those , then tried to ring through from room phone to order but no one answers tried reception again no answer even tried ringing from my mobile to reception no answer and after half an hour gave up and ordered from Uber eats. Next day hung my 'please clean room' on door came back 4 hours later and not done. tried to ring house keeping and guess what .. no answer had to go down to reception in the end and ask. Tried room service again that evening did get an answer after 15 mins to be told they only have pizza or curry so went hungry. In summary for the service received its over priced , bar prices are also overpriced. wouldn't stay here again or recommend.

Great location on the river, nice bar overlooking the Thames to watch the world go by and nice pub over the bridge in Caversham. . On site parking. Good breakfast. Nice room with large balcony and a great view. Comfy bed and good shower. Lacking bedside power points (I charge my phone overnight). Would happily return.

Goods night sleep
The public areas of the hotel were all lovely and breakfast was good. The room itself was fine but nothing special. Perfectly clean and functional and the beds were comfy. I think for the rating and the price you just expect slightly more but it definitely is a safe booking.

Lovely hotel, comfortable bed and nice room. My only gripe was the ironing board - very cheap and in poor condition, it collapsed on me several times whilst trying to iron a shirt. Other than that - great hotel
