Family stay

We were a family of 5 staying at the hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was tidy. The swimming pool was great and not crowded. They could do better with the tiles above the bath tub . It has some limescale which made it look a bit dirty. The windows in the rooms have no white curtains. When we move the curtains for light to come in, anyone can see us from outside. The door does not have security chain. This made me feel insecure overnight that an intruder may come in overnight while I am sleeping. Breakfast is good and healthy but not a lot of options. Overall, I like the hotel but I will strongly suggest they put security chains or locks on the doors.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was polite and friendly. The pool and breakfast was great. Our issue was the room. The blinds for the windows were not clean, bathroom didn't really have much privacy since you can see the silhouette of the person showering as well as the toilet. And the room I had only had 1 sliding door to the bathroom from the bed but other side was open to the front door. The other issue I had was the sheets appeared clean but we found some sticky stuff on the blanket. The staff was able to get us clean sheets. But at this rate, it ruin my night.

Overall a good stay

We didn't realise the hotel was attached to Madjeski Stadium until we arrived on a match day. We checked in just after kick off though so most fans inside the stadium by then. Check in was very slow. We did receive apologies and told that the IT was failing however, service in other areas and later was also slow. Staff were polite courteous and helpful though. The room was lovely. Spacious, air con, complimentary water and the bedding was extremely comfortable. Do not use the recommended Top Cars cab company. We and many other guests experienced problems with them.
