Basingstoke Hotel Guide - Luxury Hotels in Basingstoke, United Kingdom

I was looking for somewhere to stay in Reading over the exceptionally busy August Bank Holiday weekend...exceptionally busy due to the Reading Music Festival that my kids were going to. Found rooms available at this hotel at HALF the price of the local Premier Inn. Booked a two bedroom serviced apartment. The apartment was excellent, with 2 bathrooms, and a separate toilet, large kitchen and lounge, and two large double bedrooms. All hotel facilities were available to guests in the apartments e.g. room service. Some small niggles - extractor fans weren't working (one of the two was fixed after we raised the issue), fan in the corner of the room was broken, 2 seater sofa and one armchair meant of the party had to sit on a kitchen chair, difficult to find the car park at the back of the hotel - but these did not detract from the overall enjoyment of our short stay. Some lovely little touches like a coffee machine (rather than just a kettle) and a dishwasher (if you needed it).

Come in when it was dark and were greeted with warm friendliness. Having a dog friendly venue made us feel grounded and at home.

This property has everything. From horse riding to clay shooting to just scenic walks. This place is great for some R and R, but try to go on the weekdays if you don't want to see a lot of kids on the property. The service is standard Four Seasons, where they leave you wanting nothing. By the way, it's also a pet friendly hotel.

I was inform that it a spa hotal.no spa not happy.I will not be going there again.

A very pleasant venue close to downtown. The form insists that I say more so hopefully this added sentence will do the trick and let me out of here.

Very relaxing stay. Room was very clean and pleasant. Excellent evening meal & breakfast.

Another good stay at the Madejski Hotel. Always a solid choice when I'm in town. Good rooms, efficient service and convenient location.

The hotel itself was beautiful: traditional furniture and fixtures in the main lobby and seating area however the service wasn't spectacular and the view from our room was not a 'garden view' as promised. When checking in, the receptionist took the wrong amount of money and did not give us any information about breakfast or check in times which was disappointing. The room was nice, except it was quite dusty in places and the view which stated on the website as being one of the garden, was actually of bushes and trees approximately 4m away and we couldn't see any of the garden. At approximately £160 a night I would expect a better view. The classic room which would have been cheaper had the only difference of a double bed and as I paid for an executive room I assumed the view would be better which was a shame.

Everything was great, staff ,comfort, food, cleanliness, working on the room desk is uncomfortable;

The decor could do with some updating but our room was very nice with fridge, sink and microwave in addition to all the usual amenities. Breakfast was tasty, if a little greasy, and staff were very helpful when we had a problem with our rom key-card. Very clean, lovely shower, comfy mattress. Only niggle was that the bed in the particular room we had was against the wall. We would definitely stay again.
