    This is awkward to answer because the management transferred me to their adjacent Park International hotel so I did not in fact stay at The Lawn. But that was fine for me., especially as The Lawn Hotel does not have a lift and the Park of course does (and I am 85 years old and a little dog with me).

    The bathroom and other fixtures were showing signs of age - the shower curtain was rusty The TV had NO streaming services at all so my decision to leave me laptop and HDMI lead at home was a mistake

    Whilst we booked the Lawn Hotel on both occasions we have be accomdated in the neighbouring Parkside Inernational so can't really comment on the Lawn. The Parkside is OK. It's on the A4 and has a large free car park. If you book for the Lawn you get breakfast included. The room was a decent size with a double and single bed in it (we'd booked a twin) and the beds were quite good. The cooked to order breakfast was good. I would come again

    Hotel is not the one pictured. There is a sign on door indicating the Parkside Hotel - this is the hotel you end up staying in. You should change this photo to the Parkside.

    We had problems with the key card. On two separate occasions we had to go back to reception because it didn’t work

    The room was spacious with plenty of storage room and the bed comfortable. The breakfast was good. The reception staff were very helpful and when the key card didn’t work, they came to the room to check that it worked, after they had re-activated it.

    Bathroom and the smell when entering the dining room

    I was put in the next door Hitel Parkside .. it has a lift and they thought it was quieter for me and my Whippet dog . Both hotels are undergoing renovation that is very clear .‘outside looks a bit of a mess . The rooms and the bed was very clean , liners over pillows and mattress . But it’s clear the renovation needs to carry on. The bathroom had obviously been scrubbed. But the bath was chipped and the shower head was fixed and a bit drippy . But everything worked .. TV was fine.‘everything was cleaned each day .. I was made very welcome as was my dog ! I could fetch breakfast and eat in my room . They insisted to clean up afterwards Tea coffee etc more than adequate .. for £75 a night inkl vollenglish breakfast and incl cost for the dog .. really good value ..

    We were booked to stay at the Lawn but found a well hidden sign suggesting we should check in at the neighbouring Parkside. Checkin in lady was efficient but a little distant as were all the staff apart from the very friendly cleaners. The fixtures were tired - yellowing light over the bathroom mirror, silicone coming away from the joints. It seems to be impossible to get Decaff coffee in the building - neither the rooms or the restaurant offer it. The shower was good but there was nothing to explained how it worked so my lady, who likes a warm shower finished up with a cold one because she turned the knob the logical but incorrect way. I was suprised that the towels were renewed after the first night (even though we didn't need them to be) but the plastic "glasses" in the room weren't washed or replaced

    Massive car park welcomes you on arrival - a real bonus in a town where hotels charge to park. We were booked into the Lawn which seems smaller but stayed at the Parkside. We had a good sized room - the twin we booked became a single and a double. The wifi was excellent throughout the building and the streaming TV worked a treat. Breakfast was good but a little wierd as the offer was Full English or Vegetarian English with little choice although, as we'd booked at the Lawn that was included in the price - if I'd been asked to pay £13.50 each per night for the breakfast this review would have been very different. The bacon had been pre-cooked and kept warm and so dried and the sausages were cheap but the rest was good The beds were OK but nothing special

    In the morning I asked my Mum to get us a table in the restaurant. She was given menus with prices on she was told we had to pay for breakfast. I understood that I had paid for Bed and Breakfast in the price but rather than make a fuss we left. In hindsight of course, I should have shown my booking confirmation to the restaurant staff.

    We booked The Lawn Hotel but actually stayed next in the hotel next door Parkside International that I have stayed in a few years ago. It was clean and smart and the front desk team were lovely and helpful. It was a hot, muggy day in Reading and a chap on the front desk found us a fan which made us much more comfortable. Thank you..

    Shower door needed repairing and shower head needed cleaning. A few cobwebs by the windows too. Only had one teacup and spoon in the room.

    Great location with free parking. We walked to Reading festival and back but could have also got buses there. Room was good and bed was very comfortable. Lots of towels, toiletries, coffee and tea bags which was great. Breakfast was fantastic, just what we needed after the festival!
