Top Didcot Hotel Reviews

Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading

8/10 Good

"Generally good, the bed was comfortable and the room clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and parking was easy and plentiful. It's a take of two halves though; whilst the hotel was perfectly adequate in terms of cleanliness, staff, location, etc, the room I had was in one of the neighbouring buildings, which wasn't a problem in itself but the grounds looked very neglected, especially the view through my window to the rear (overgrown/unkempt, bags of garden waste that had obviously been there while, etc), and the landscaping in the parking area at the front, which left a poor impression - though the ease of access and parking was a positive. Carpets in the hallway and room were starting to look dated. The room itself was in some ways well appointed with a microwave and fridge (though I only stayed one night so needed neither) but at the same time was very large, with a lot of empty space (just one seat in a double room) and a fixed desk - a couple of more comfortable chairs (and maybe even a small coffee table) would have made it feel less empty. Overall, I'd stay again if I were in the area as the basics were there and the stay was perfectly adequate, and I appreciated the microwave and fridge, but it could really do with someone looking at the details; there's a lot of potential for it to be much better."

"Fabulous hotel and absolutely perfect for us including for my son who is a wheelchair user. Great having room on the ground floor and plenty of space for him to manoeuvre including at breakfast time. Staff gave 11O% offering help by bringing items to our table at breakfast as I was helping my son. Disabled parking right next to the entrance. Perfect quiet location just a short drive from Oxford centre. Will definitely return and thanks to an amazing team who are so attentive and friendly."
