having read the reviews prior to arriving, i was extremely worried about my stay here. there was ample parking to begin with and check in was quick and efficient. true, there is a damp smell and the decor looks outdated but what it lacked there was made up for with good service. i stayed in a double ensuite room which... more

The Elmhurst Hotel in Reading is old and dated the rooms could do with a lick of paint.... that's the bad points the plus points are the staff are friendly and accomodating and the beds are really comfy. If you eat in the resturant which I would suggest as the food is excellent ask for the Lamb Curry as its... more

I stayed here after doing a web search, it looked ok on the internet and from the outside, and a good location and parking......but thats the only plus points. The room smelt of smoke (pretty strong still after July ban!), I thought I had booked a non-smoking room. The bathroom had dirt and hair all over the floor, when I... more

This place was the worst! They did not mention it on their website, but this is not a non-smoking establishment. If you have breathing problems or if you want to NOT get lung cancer from second-hand smoke, stay away! If you wish a place that is clean, stay away! The room we got was tiny. There was hardly room to... more

I stayed here for 4 days while attending a sage course a couple of weeks ago. The hotel is pretty average, but at the same time theres certainly nothing wrong with it... the Rooms were pretty basic but clean and well sized, the bed comfy and the shower nice and hot. The one thing that this hotel DOES have going... more

Not the best hotel in the world :- Bad points :- 1. Very tatty and dated, could do with some major refurb. 2. If you book a non ensuite then there is one very basic shower between something like 8-10 rooms (this was out of order, 1 of the days of my stay) 3. Breakfast gets very crowded, early in... more

After reading the previous reviews i was worried about my stay at the Elmhurst but I honestly believe the previous two reviews are rather harsh on this lovely hotel! Yes its not the Ritz, but its no youth hostel either! I found my room to be comfortable with all modern ammenities, the staff were friendly and were keen to ensure... more

There is little else to say about this 'crummy' hotel, other than: do not stay here unless you really need to. It is in serious need of renovation/modernisation, in fact a complete overhaul would be more accurate. For example, there was a giant lump in the corner of our room which had been unceremoniously carpeted over and the bathroom would... more

Basic but affordable hotel located about 20 minutes by bus from the centre of Reading/£7-8 taxi fare. About 5-10 minutes walk from the University, depending on which part of campus - it's close to Early gate. Looked like there was plenty of space for parking. The hotel is on a busy road, but it's double glazed and traffic noise wasn't... more
