The Wee Waif Reading by Greene King Inns

The Wee Waif Reading by Greene King Inns

8/10 Good
"I stayed here for two nights for my daughter's wedding which was local. The rooms are clean with tea and coffee making facilities. The bathroom had a bath and over bath shower. The furniture in the room was tatty and really needs replacing. The chair was worn and the veneer was coming off the bedside table however the bed was comfortable and I slept well. I would definitely stay here again. Staff were helpful and breakfast was good value for money. There is a Greene King public house which was handy and outside seating and tables available."

"Friendly and accessible staff always happy to help. Room cleaning was fine - but we did not need much. We only had breakfast once, but it was very good and plenty to choose from. Bar was well stocked. Hotel car park was GBP21 but they encourage you to use a local shopping centre car park instead which is a 5 minute walk away and only GBP7 and they validate the ticket for you - no big hassle."

8/10 Good
"The Hotel is set within the sprawling grounds which includes a wonderfully maintained golf course despite the current heatwave conditions. I was warmly greeted when checking in and got a lot of steps in getting to my room but was rewarded with a room with a view of the course and everything I needed to enjoy my stay. I used the onsite gym which had new equipment in great working condition which provided a good sweat and pump. I decided to dine elsewhere with Reading being only a few miles away. The bed was extremely comfortable and provided a well-needed night's rest with breakfast options being varied allowing for a great start to the day. The staff were very helpful and the hotel was impeccable."
