Top Downe House School Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Reading South M4 Jct11 by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, close for public transit and a grocery store right across the street."

Milton Hill

8/10 Good

"The breakfast was good, plenty of choices, and provision for dietary requirements. Room clean, bed was quite soft, and there were plenty of pillows. Shower could have been more powerful, but it worked and was warm. Leisure suite was good. Simple gym, good pool, and the sauna and steam room hot."

Village Hotel Reading

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel. Lovely pool and gym facilities. All staff very helpful. Restaurant was the only disappointment."

voco Reading by IHG

Crazy Bear Hotel-Stadhampton

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful two night stay. High end hotel in a pretty secluded spot. Amazing roof top room with real luxury. Love the London bus reception area and the restaurant and bar are first class."

Crowne Plaza Reading by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was lovely and very clean. The Spa/pool was good but it was missing a jacuzzi really. Very busy on the Saturday and couldn’t get a seat by the pool for a while. Loads of people on their phones whilst around the pool area, which sign state are not allowed but staff never told anyone to put them away! Breakfast was really good, lots of choice for us. Had dinner in lounge bar. Pizza was decent but the duck breast although very nice, the potatoes that come with it was 6 very small cubes! Would have expected more than that for the price. Overall the hotel is very well presented but there’s not much around it, so you’ll have to drive or get the train across the road for more entertainment/food choices."

Warbrook House Heritage Hotel

8/10 Good

"Was very pleasant. Only downside was the coffee machine was not working for breakfast"

Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading

8/10 Good

"Staff were friendly and helpful. I loved the fridge and microwave availability. My only comment is there was no interior latch on the ground floor window which I would have preferred. But the location was convenient to Reading's main areas."
