Hotels near Reading West, Reading

Very close to city center with access to food late at night. 15 minute walk to Train station. The room is tidy and bathroom is neat. However there is no amenities. I paid another 10 pounds to check in early at 12. The lift was not working at the time.

I have stayed There 3 times and every time I have stayed in a internal room as that is all they say they have left . Each time I have stayed I get a burning and scratching feeling and then wen I shower it goes but wen I leave the hotel as staff are excellent and don’t want any one in trouble but to get to the horrible point as I travel a lot I got a rash on all 3 occasions over the last 5 years and My Gp has said look on Google and I am knot the only one . I have a chemical reaction from who they sublet there bed lining to of as they say could be Bed Mites / My hole face and cheek of face both sides and Neck have been bitten / so the chemical hasn’t been ruled out but bed Mites are 100% true the chemicals of the Blotches all over My face and poker dots are mites the burning sensation is the strong chemical is to hide it . Watch this Space I’m Knot one to complain as trip adviser know I’m honest in what I say . If any one has had any symptoms like mine please speak out . Pjt

Isabel was incredibly helpful and attentive. It’s the first time I have ever know a conference be truly inclusive for dietary requirements, so thank you. The room was set up exactly as we requested, yea and coffee was readily available as requested and the goodies were delivered right on time! The high end organisation made our away day the best day. Thank you Isabel.

Just bath and no shower. Feels like home but nothing like a modern hotel. Basic amenities. Spacious room. Cute little place with free parking. There are food places around. Was stuck in Reading for the night and saw this was close by and price was right..

Overall this is a really nice hotel, but what would make it really great is a little more staff training. The staff are all really lovely, but they lack a bit of common sense and management. The hotel appears to be aiming for a high end of the market, so we were surprised by the poor training of some of the staff. The chap behind the bar on the two evenings we were there was really nice, but oh my goodness he was so slow. Each time we ordered a drink we had to tell him two or three times what we wanted. They didn't have the wine I wanted, but instead of handing me a list of their wines or telling me what wines they have, he just looked blankly at me and waited for me to ask if he had a certain wine. When he had poured the drinks he never told us how much they were, he just got the card machine out (they don't take cash) and we paid. We had to ask for the card machine receipt, but never gave us a till receipt so we still have no idea how much each individual drink cost. By the way the drinks are really expensive. The first night we had a pint of larger and a large white wine which came to £15.30p and the next night two large glasses of wine (one red, one white) which came to £23.50p. At no time during our stay were we offered a till receipt. We were shocked by the half pint and pint glasses given to customers (even ladies) which were the old fashioned ones with handles, which we hadn't seen for many years. Some ladies were struggling to drink from them. I really think the hotel should reconsider this and at least offer ladies a tall glass. The same chap was on his own behind the bar for both nights, but at no point did any other member of staff come to help him, especially when quite a bit queue had formed (because he was so slow), even though there were plenty of staff in the area. The waiting staff were friendly and polite, but again lacked a bit of guidance and training. One of the young waiters was wiping a table while the plates etc were still on the table. We wanted a table that people had just left and he kindly said he would clear the table for us and re-set it. He did re-set it, but didn't wipe it over and left the jug of water from the previous people. It is a large hotel and there were two coach trips booked in as well as quite a few other guests, so it was quite busy on both evenings. Having said this the hotel rooms were lovely and we enjoyed our stay. Our room was on the first floor which was nice and quiet. Rooms were extremely clean and tidy and well maintained. We were on a coach trip, so not in the hotel much of the time during the day. A few tweaks and this could be a really top notch hotel. Top tip: if the bar prices put you off, pop round to the local shop (turn left out of the main entrance of the hotel, turn right at the end of the road and there are a couple of shops up there and a cafe). You can buy drink there to put in the fridge in your room. Also, ice machine on the first floor by the lifts

the second i checked in got a very warm welcome from Safia and Prachi which made me feel very happy and is clear that the staff care about their jobs, even though the staff where polite the food was undercooked on multiple occasions during my stay which had also made vomit, i personally think the managers should be more on top of food quality.

Quiet,restful night at Travelodge Reading M4 Eastbound. It does require an update but the room was clean and staff very nice and helpful. We requested a room on the ground floor and close to reception due to our luggage and they were happy to accommodate us. Free parking. Happy to stay again if we will need in the future

Wasn't impressed to receive text whilst abroad to say if we checked in late our room could be let. We were flying back and couldn't guarantee getting there at 3 pm. Had to get family member to call to explain. There are 2 Travelodges, one each side of the motorway. We booked the westbound one. Both have the same postcode. Our satnav only recognised Eastbound side. Result was they couldn't find our reservation. Apparently this happens a lot. Staff redirected us so only a few minutes and a few miles delay. Our arrival delayed by difficulty at Heathrow,ie Terminal change and over an hour and a half hours delay before passengers could access luggage reclaim. Staff shortages. Arrived at nearly midnight. Only Costa open at services. However, staff at hotel helpful. Situation good and quiet despite proximity to M4. We were very pleasantly surprised. Room clean and plenty of space, bed comfortable, coffee-making facility welcome. Bathroom fine and water hot. Slept really well and plenty of choice for breakfast with services placed only a few yards away but not causing any noise problem at the hotel. Enjoyable stay. Pity about postcode confusion Maybe explanation to take westbound services turnoff given on website when booking would avoid confusion and save people being taken to the eastbound site. We were worried when satnav told us to pass westbound services but assumed hotel was approached by another turnoff shortly after. It would have made our arrival far less fraught to have been aware of the fact there were Travelodges BOTH sides of motorway. The hotel itself was good and gave us a comfortable night.

Booked this hotel as it was close to a venue we were going to. Free parking Easy check in Clean room - bedding and clean towels Lots of complimentary tea/coffee/water One negative is that the room was very tired. The curtains were ripped leaving a clear view into the garden (which was really nice)! we had to close the big heavy curtains for privacy. The bathroom needed a refresh and a decent mirror & lighting. The staff were brilliant and arranged a taxi for us to get to our venue. Rees was superb later in the evening, ensuring we were updated on the taxi. Good little hotel, would recommend.

4 of us stayed here for one night as we were at a local festival. We arrived and one of the rooms wasn’t ready. We put all of our bags in one room. Although the room was clean and spacious it smelt of damp towels. We went to the reception and asked if they could call us a cab. Was told they were too busy and we would have to do it ourselves. (Even though there was nobody there at the time). The lady on reception the next morning was much friendlier and asked about our evening. Breakfast included in the price was lovely and one of the best breakfasts I’ve eaten at a hotel before. Quite expensive I thought for 1 night.
