There was a shortage of staff with the receptionist attending the bar as well Cleaning equipment was left in corridor. Bed was terrible. So lumpy! Another guest arrived after 1am and walls were paper thin so could hear conversation. We didn’t have breakfast so cannot comment on this.

Mediocre Western

Mediocre Western at best! A bathtub that wouldn’t drain, the tape holding the panel onto the tub, the picture without glass, the blood stained mattress protector, the cracked and dirty China ware - just some of the negative elements found at this hotel during my stay. The reception staff were all exceptionally polite and courteous. The issue with the non-draining tub needed reporting twice. Public areas and my room were all very clean, the rooms; the very reason people use a hotel could desperately do with some of the magic already provided to the bar & restaurant area. Excellent parking offered at no charge. Would I stay again? Possibly.

Where’s the glass?
Blood?

Best Western Calcott

Arrived after driving all night from Scotland for a family funeral in Reading area. Allocated rooms 3&9 the corridor had a horrible smell and the rooms looked like they required a full refurbishment. We went straight to bed as we were all shattered. The beds were clean and comfortable but the bathroom tap leaked as did the shower and was extremely noisy. Got woken up at 5am with the Fire alarm being set off, for the record this had not been logged at reception. We should have complained at the time but were too tired and straight out to attend funeral next day.

Not cleaned/updated after housing asylum seekers

Having arrived and being given a non smoking room that smelt of smoke and damp I asked for another room to find it was just as bad. The hotel had been used to house asylum seekers and not refurbished before opening again. It is not fit for humans ! I checked out and found another hotel (they refused a refund)

Tired,in need of TLC and a damn good clean

Suspicious stains on carpet (which has not been hovered either) so room changed. When closing curtain for night found blood stains on curtains in new room. Drawer handle came off in my hand No full length mirror Room lighting poor Rooms were tired, smelly and felt dirty. Also very hot despite turning heating off and weather being mild. Bar snacks choice very limited, bar shut earlier than stated in info folder. Breakfast- no vegetarian options except hash brown, egg and toast. Choice was limited (there were 6 of us and only 4 hash browns and 5 sausages, and not very hot. Eggs were cooked to order - asked for scrambled egg and was served a very greasy broken up omelette which the chef insisted was scrambled egg. Such a shame as it used to be a lovely hotel
