Top Downe House School Hotel Reviews

ibis Reading Centre

10/10 Excellent

"No bells and whistles but clean and functional and dead centre of the town"

Tylney Hall

8/10 Good

"One of the most beautiful building and gardens. It felt like being at a national trust, not just a hotel because the grounds are so well thought out and looked after. Outfoor Pool area is gorgeous but some bits need a bit of an extra clean or facelift- the rim around the pool had gone green and some features looked slightly dated or cluttered. Our room was nice and big (Mansion house superior) but I think it's hit or miss which room you get. Ours looked a lot more dated in decor compared to the advertised room for this room level and needed some maintenance (wallpaper peeling, deep scratches in the bath) Staff super helpful, they greet you at the door and help with your bags, but maybe slightly understaffed for the dining area on Saturday and service took a little while. Tennis and bike hire was included in the stay and we utilised both! Don't need to book and easy to get a spot. The indoor pool, spa and fitness centre really needs modernising and redoing. It was clean but very dated and the changing rooms were tiny do you have to wait for other people at the lockers to get to your locker or to the sauna. Overall still an incredible stay and would visit again for all the amazing features (outdoor pool, grounds, actvities, beautiful dining, staff and building)"

Village Hotel Reading

8/10 Good

"The property was very clean in the rooms but the veranda was really dirty and dusty it looked like it had never been cleaned the bed was really clean and comfortable and it had a massive TV in the room and some exercise things too. The bathroom was clean and towels were lovely and with toiletries provide it was a bit far from train station to walk but the bus stop was nearby as it was a bit expensive to use taxis. They had lots of outdoor space to eat and drink as you were next to the Caversham bridge where you could get a boat ride it had lots of things going on inside the hotel a gym,swimming pool, sauna and steam room and jacuzzi. There was good air conditioning in the room due the the really hot weather a good coffee maker was also in the room it was a bit exspensive as there wasn’t any breakfast included but all in all a wonderful stay"

Village Hotel Basingstoke

8/10 Good

"Checked in at 5pm and the reception were professional but very robotic and not really welcoming so not a great first impression. The room is very modern with 2 USB ports next to the bed. The bed was very comfortable and had an excellent sleep. The TV is 65 inch Samsung which has Sky Sports. No apps for YouTube or no option to Chromecast from your phone. The TV picture quality is excellent. The air conditioning was excellent but kept switching off so I guess it’s motion controlled so if you’re not moving in the room it switches off. The bathroom was small but has an excellent lighted shaving mirror. The shower offers both rainfall and hand held shower option. The water pressure is good too. Tea and Coffee in the room. The room and bathroom are very clean but I didn’t have a window in the room and only a small window in the bathroom which looked out onto a wall. The room wasn’t clean during my two night stay and I didn’t have any Do Not Disturb sign on the door. I guess they must have just forgotten to service my room. The WiFi is free and fast and doesn’t drop out. Vodafone and O2 had no service in the room I was in but you could make a phone call even though it only had one bar of signal strength. No fridge or safe in the room which was disappointing. For people who want to stay fit there is a nice gym. The is a Starbucks Coffee in the hotel and an amazing Waitrose Supermarket about 0.6 miles away which even has a cafe. The main shopping mall is about 1 mile away and is abo"
