Crowne Plaza Reading

Nice stay at this hotel, which had a great pool and sauna & steam facilities. The check-in was very slow having only 1 person during peak check-in time, and being seated at breakfast took quite a while despite coming at an earlier time. Exterior of hotel is dated, but inside looks more modern

The rooms and beds are in need of an update. However, the facilities are good but more staff needed at breakfast, we had to wait a while to be seated. The pool, sauna and steam was very nice.

Lovely location next to the river and close to many restaurants. The hotel itself is in need of a renovation and is most certainly the worst Crowne Plaza we have stayed in. Reception, bar area , restaurant and gym are all decent but the rooms are looking very shabby. Only one lift worked and you have to pay for parking ( half price for IHG members) which really should be included in the price you pay as it’s not a cheap hotel. Breakfast was chaos especially on our first morning with no clean tables, no cups or glasses to use then the coffee machine needed resetting. Although it was a decent spread, they just needed more staff for the number of guests.

Hotels in Reading are very cheap. We chose the Crowne Plaza because of the Pool facility! Steam room was great. Sauna wasn't too hot

It’s on the river with beautiful walks

Always enjoy an upgrade!

This was a one night stay in order to attend a birthday party. The receptionist was extremely friendly and helpful allowing us to check in a little early. The room was comfortable and clean and, despite being near the road was surprisingly quiet. We would definitely stay again.

Nice hotel in a good location

It was a good one night stay. We love this hotel, and we have stayed here before, as it is by the water and it is in a good location. We enjoyed the breakfast, which was very filling! The only thing that I was not happy with is when I called room service for some glasses and ice, the lady asked me to pick come down and pick it from the bar - I don't think that is the meaning of room service!!

I stay here regularly and there's a reason I always come back. The staff here are amazing, any kind of issue at all, they're straight on it. They're nice, polite, chatty. A joy to spend the week here.
