“Relaxing stay”

Great location next to the Thames and close to the train station. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and the pool and spa facilities were really good (No children in the pool before 9am so chance for a nice quiet swim!) Spacious, clean, quiet rooms. Great valus for money ... will stay there again!

“2 extremes ....................”

My Wife and I stayed at the Crowne Plaza for 1 night during Dec '09. The check-in was excellent. The Receptionist explained everything to us very well and nothing seemed to be too much trouble for him. We were both extremely tired after a long haul flight and we were pleasantly surprised when he explained our room was ready to occupy early in the morning. The room itself was very nice, both clean and spacious. We can't comment on what dinner was like in the restaurant as we didn't make use of it. All of that said, there is sadly a downside. The breakfast was quite frankly awful. There was nobody behind the breakfast bar to take orders for eggs etc. What was available looked as though it had been there for sometime. I say what was available because, I have my doubts if anyone was checking to see what needed topping up. My wife finally found a waitress, who appeared to be wishing she was somewhere else, and ordered a fried egg. When the egg did arrive, by which time the other food on the plate had cooled, the white was runny. After what appeared to be an eternity, we managed to grab the attention of the disinterested waitress to explain about the egg. It was taken away and brought back and looked like the original egg which had been thrown back into the frying pan for an extra 2 minutes. I do recommend staying here, as we both had a very relaxing time at the hotel, but would suggest you find somewhere else to eat, as it was the breakfast that badly let this lovely hotel down.

“Excellent hotel”

This was an excellent hotel, right on the river Thames with river walks right on hand. The quality of the restaurant food was exceptional.

“Redelijk hotel”

Niet al te duur, redelijk hotel. Ligt aan de achterkant leuk aan het water, maar aan de voorkant aan een drukke weg.

Traveller's tip
Je kunt lopen naar het centrum van Reading (+/1 15 minuten)
