Best Western Reading Calcot Hotel

Was booked into this hotel by my work for an overnight stay. The room was clean and presentable, though feels a bit ‘tired’ overall in its decor etc. The bathroom was really cold though, especially with the tiled floor! The shower cubicle seemed quite old but the shower itself was adequate. Dinner at the restaurant was lovely - I had the hake and chips. The restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful. Bit shocked though to find that my apple juice was £3?! Sainsburys is a 10-15 min walk away which is handy - I popped down to get stuff for breakfast as the hotel breakfast is just under a tenner which I wasn’t prepared to pay for in this instance. Front of house staff were very polite and helpful. less

Easy access. Rooms are OK, if a bit of a trek. The Bed was comfortable and I slept well. The room was warm enough. There is not really any overall ambience but staff are friendly and helpful which goes a long way to off set the rather bland surroundings. Also, the food was good, very tasty with a fair amount of choice. Very handy for working in Reading, just off the M4 on a straight run in. less

On Saturday March 9th our Masonic lodge held its annual Ladies Night Dinner and Dance. The event was very well organised by Pauline (events coordinator) the function room was furnished to high standard, the food was excellent and great music from the resident DJ. less

Stayed for 2 nights to attend a family event in reading. Picked this hotel as close to motorway network but could not hear noise. Our allocated room was up stairs( there is no lift) and as one of our party had mobility issues we were allocated another room without having to ask. Room was spacious clean and tidy. Breakfast was plentiful and as the hotelwas quiet some items were cooked to order . Great hotel would definitely recommend and stay there again less

Having stayed at the Calcot Hotel in Theale before I was reluctant to stay again. Due to a work meeting other colleagues were staying and an evening meal had been planned. I booked at last minute and only a single room was available. I arrived to be told I was in room 17 on the first floor, my shock on entering the very small room was one of overwhelming damp/musty smell. The curtains were not attached at the end of the rail so was a matter of fiddling to get the gap closed. The kettle lid was broken (pic) the wardrobe door didn’t shut (pic) and to my shock the bed sheet was holed (pic) The shower was powerful and good. Towels were clean and fluffy. The smell of damp/musty was present throughout. The room was on the front and a busy road I didn’t sleep well, the single bed was creaky and uncomfortable, duvet thin and the room cold. Very disappointed with my stay not worth the charge applied and I’d rather (and will use a travel lodge in future (M4 one much better than this hotel) or locate a hotel in a surrounding village. This room needs upgrading its shabby, poor decor, needs painting and get rid of the damp/musty offensive smell. The receptionist was very friendly and the bar staff less
