We stayed for my partners birthday. I contacted the hotel to let them know of the special occasion and they put some balloons in the room, as well as a small cake plate saying happy birthday which was a lovely extra touch. The pool is absolutely freezing though! The jacuzzi has been boarded over so is no longer there, which the hotel isn’t advertised on trip of having but I went on Google maps photos and saw a jacuzzi in the photos so assumed it would be there. The sauna and steam room were both quite dirty too the floor has chewing gum and other dirt on. The room was really nice, the walls are very thin though so you can hear everything from the rooms next door. Overall I would recommend this hotel for a stay but not for the spa facilities. Which is a shame as I booked this hotel specifically for the spa facilities which were a disappointment.
Place has been refurbished to a higher standard bathroom and room outlook. The bathroom was very clean, bedding also very clean ironing crises on linen. Downside could hear every flash of the toilet and talking. Also my room was on a top flight of the stairs by the time l got to my room l was breathless. I did mention to reception that l had been unwell so could’ve done with a lift. Others may differ in opinion. Overall 8/10
Ample parking which is really lovely. Will stay again.❤️
A beautiful estate and so much to explore nearby. It's quite close to Windsor center and only a few min drive away from Windsor Castle. The layout of the hotel was a bit confusing at first because the main hotel reception is a little hidden, but easy enough to find after one or two attempts! The room is reasonably spacious for two and fairly clean. I only wish there was a fridge!
One of our curtains fell on the second day of our stay. We were out when it happened and found it fallen when we got back. We went to reception to let them know (this was around 1pm) and they said they'll send someone over to take a look. We waited in our room until 6pm, called reception again, and no one came. We went down to reception the next day to inquire again and were told that maintenance had left for the evening, but that they will be sent to our room straightaway the next morning. We went out the next morning, came back, and found the curtain completely removed!! No replacement. We asked reception if someone was going to come replace the curtain and they basically said they couldn't fix it at this point, and that they could change us to a twin bed room (we were originally in a double) that was much, much smaller. Not the kind of situation I would expect from a hotel that flaunts its customer service.
We also asked for room service on all three nights and not once were our bedsheets/duvet changed (we had an orange juice stain in the middle of our bed that was still there every day).
Overall the location is great and the hotel is super aesthetic, but we didn't like the fact we had to stay in a curtain-less room for 2 nights with no compensation or alternative (and had to chase them to even do something about the fallen curtain).
The hotel's location is excellent, right in the center of Reading. It's incredibly convenient, with shops, department stores, restaurants, cafes, and Reading train station all within walking distance. The hotel's decor is outstanding, and the facilities are brand new. The staff are very friendly and polite. However, a downside is that the hotel doesn't have a lift, and the staircases are quite narrow. If you have large luggage, it would be better to choose a room on a lower floor.
After a long journey, from landing to clearing customs, and then struggling to find the bus stop, we were freezing while waiting for our transfer 🥶. We finally arrived at the hotel past 11 PM. The front desk staff were super friendly and helped us check in smoothly, also giving us all the details about breakfast 👍🏽. The hotel is clean and tidy! Our room even had a heater, which was a real lifesaver for us after arriving so late and being out in the cold for so long. It felt incredibly warm and welcoming!
The overall experience of this hotel is very good, the process from check-in to check-out is very smooth. The service staff is kind and courteous, the room is clean and tidy, the facilities are complete and well maintained. The location is convenient and the surrounding life functions are also very convenient. The overall accommodation environment is comfortable and relaxing. It is a pleasant stay experience. I will have the opportunity to visit again in the future.
The Staff of this Travel lodge are very helpful indeed. All go out of their way to help.
When we arrived, Sanjay helped us with car parking and stored luggage for us while we sorted it out.
We were given items we asked for when the cleaner forgot to leave them in our room.
The breakfast staff were extremely pleasant and helpful at all times. The hotel is in an excellent location and is quiet at night.
Stayed here ahead of a flight from Heathrow which was the second time. Modern, clean, and comfortable with good quality food and service in the bar. Made the mistake of staying at Holiday Inn nearby on the way back which was awful, spend your money here instead.

GGuest UserH
am writing to share some feedback about my recent stay at your hotel. There were several aspects of my room that I was very pleased with, but I also encountered some disappointments regarding the service and amenities that I believe need to be addressed.
The Room (Positive)
On a positive note, I was very pleased with my room overall. The space was incredibly spacious, and both the kitchen area and the toilet/bathroom were excellent and very clean. While we did find the heating and ventilation a bit challenging to figure out at first, we eventually managed to get it sorted.
Regarding room service, it would be highly beneficial if staff members were able to come straight up to the room to check on a customer when an issue arises. While I appreciate being able to call the front desk, having someone physically present to help right away would make a massive difference.
The Breakfast (Disappointing)
Unfortunately, the breakfast was a major disappointment and really terrible. There were hardly any healthy options available. Furthermore, I would have liked the staff at breakfast to be a little more attentive and welcoming. While they weren't explicitly rude, they lacked the warmth and helpfulness you expect at breakfast.
The Lobby & Public Area
I found the lobby area very difficult to relax in. For some reason, football was being played loudly on the TV with nobody actually watching it. When I mentioned this to the staff, they refused to turn it off. Because the area is already quite tiny and the TV was so loud, it made sitting there and eating very uncomfortable.
Staff and Customer Service
In general, the hotel was quite clean, but the overall service left a lot to be desired. I would have liked the staff to be more present, helpful, and proactive in meeting guest needs. During my stay, I was made to feel like a nuisance and a ”problem” just for asking for basic assistance. A paying customer should never be made to feel like they are being problematic simply for wanting their needs met.
Conclusion
To summarize, the room size, cleanliness, and facilities were perfect bonuses. However, the breakfast quality, lobby atmosphere, and the staff's defensive attitude really let the experience down. I hope you will use this feedback to improve your guest services in the future.i
GGuest UserIt was a good stay & all staff was friendly & efficient. Only 1st night we couldn’t enjoy spa but this matter was fixed by next morning. Breakfast was good, dinner was really nice & overall we enjoyed our trip. Thank you

GGuest UserPros: Excellent location, right opposite the castle with a shopping street right outside the door.
Cons:
1) The room had a musty smell.
2) The cleanliness was terrible.
Service:
3) One staff member was very good, but the others we encountered later were not. They didn't even show us to our room. Our room was in an annex building, and they didn't explain that clearly, so we had to drag our luggage around looking for it for a long time. I was so close to losing my temper.
Overall, it's very old, not very clean, and not a premium experience.
GGuest UserThis is the first time I’ve stayed in many years, in fact it hasn’t changed it’s like go back into a time warp back to the 90s.
The staff are very nice and the breakfast was very good (they have real eggs).
Now the not so good stuff.
The rooms are basic and outdated. Our mattress was old in fact it caved in the middle.
Being a IHG member they had a loyalty week giving away prizes which was a nice touch but they removed the free bottle of water (not good)
All in all a 6.5/10
RRajni MahzabinAdequate hotel for the price.
Mattress and pillow were slightly uncomfortable.
Due to the hotel being a wedding venue, I was kept up at night due to the wedding music from below.
OOllieSFirst receptionist we dealt with was really nice but then she had to ask a colleague for help with our check in and she was extremely rude. Having booked an executive room, we were told we didnt get access to the executive lounge as hadn't booked direct. Load of rubbish. Went to our room, quick call to Hilton Customer Care and they confirmed we did have executive lounge access so went back to reception.
The hotel is really comfortable, big spacious rooms, nice beds, bathrooms with shower and bath. Water wasn't free even in executive rooms which was a bit of a shock (£2.50 a bottle).
Executive lounge was nice but service much cut back from last time I stayed at few years ago. Fridges empty most of the day, snacks not topped up. Dirty cups everywhere etc. Evening snacks was good but again, reduced compared to what they used to offer. Spirits and prosecco was a nice touch though.
Breakfast served in the restaurant for executive room guests. Really nice selection, mostly buffet but eggs and omelettes cooked to order. Nice coffee.
Staff on the whole are really friendly and welcoming (apart from the receptionist on day one). We had 3 nights here and enjoyed it.
There is a shuttle bus from terminal 5 to the hotel door which is £6.80 per person or you can take bus number 5 which stops on the road outside the hotel for £1.50. If staying more than one night, there is buses to Windsor, legoland, Slough and hounslow (for the tube to central london).
GGuest UserThe hotel's surroundings are beautiful, nestled in a residential area, so there are hardly any unruly crowds, and the locals are very nice. The hotel staff provide excellent service, and their English is fluent. The rooms are not densely packed, and the staff maintain an appropriate distance, which is appreciated. The breakfast area is clean, and while the selection is simple, the quality is high, and the fruit is fresh. I recommend trying the milk with various cereals. I look forward to visiting again.
GGo MissPriddyIt was a nice comfortable room and stay. Cost effective with breakfast.
Systems were down so checking was delayed and held us up. Room was too far for my sister to walk as she suffered with a leg injury and found it difficult to walk to and from the room. Accessibility was not considered despite noting it on the booking so she couldn't have the desired shower room as expected. Could be because of the system issue. The room was spacious and nice, hall a little bland, hall carpet a little tarnished possibly due to footballers and co footfall as it's connected to the stadium so perfect for footballers and families at match time. Entrance clean and inviting. There are 2 floors ,no lift so this must be considered if you cannot walk far. Lobby and breakfast hall was clean, and buffet breakfast was nice. Staff were friendly. FYi- my uncle received complimentary benefits for the long check in issues and delays. My sister and I didn't although it would have been nice too, since we waited long also. Overall it was nice but and I would stay again.
GGuest UserThe hotel very close to slough market, also it is 5km from windsor market i went there on foot, if you enjoy natural views and rivers there are many places to enjoy, the rooms in the hotel are clean and they provide all that hotels should prived, but the should put good isolating window to keep the noise from the outside unheard, also they should lower the floor of the toilets to prevent the water pooring into the room at shower time. Despite the room of improvements i mentioned earlier i enjoyed my stay with them and i will visit them again.
