We recently returned and stayed in a comfy double room last weekend.
Very well maintained hotel, room and facilities. The room was spotless. Great choice of indoor and outdoor seating and restaurant and bar services.
We were satisfied with the gym. We didn’t use the sauna and steam rooms this time.
Not the quietest of venues during event nights.

Absolutely lovely stay at The Royal oak. Beautifully decorated throughout, with a really warm and homely feel. Staff were welcoming, dinner and breakfast were first-class and my room was spotlessly clean with a great bathroom and comfy bed. Would definitely return, I stayed for work but it would be a lovely place for a weekend away.

Very attentive staff despite arriving on a busy Saturday evening. Clean rooms, nice food with great service. Parked round the back so don't panic if no parking at the front. Booked family room which was on first floor - but no lift so tricky with baby buggy. Also room was quite warm and AC didn't work, but saying that I would book here again and was happy with this hotel.

Perfect for an overnight stay, arriving late and leaving early for onward travel with a quick check in / out and extremely close to the station. Extremely quiet within the room and has everything we needed for our quick stay.

We went to the mill theatre and decided to stay over at the hotel. It was in an ideal position as only a short walk to the theatre. The room was lovely

The rooms are spacious well designed - great beds and pillows and excellent bathrooms and nice touches - excellent
Only slight draw back is late entry access with a dark doorway / keypad hard to see without a torch and as unmanned from 11pm being in central Reading feels slightly insecure especially 12midnighf plus

Room 308 is haunted. I have stayed in this room 3 times now and have had something breath in my ear as I lay in bed wide awake, I had something invisible walk up to me quickly as I could hear the heavy footsteps and i turned around and nothing was there and I heard a short groan which was definitely from inside the room. Apart from that I had a lovely stay.

The reception staff are excellent and set the tone for a great stay. We enjoyed our overnight stay and found the hotel to be extremely inviting and comfortable with the refurbishment to date being of a very high standard. There are works still going on to add further eateries, bedrooms and an outside courtyard area to the hotel which will create stunning facilities.
