Incredibly creaky bed that kept waking us up. Arrived at 9.30pm on a Sunday. Was disappointed that no food available, but thought it was incredible that they had closed the bar and cashed up early, so we couldn’t even get a drink! Not great after a long day travelling, then bad night sleep due to old squeaky bed.

Great location close to Pangbourne train station, only a couple minutes walk. Good breakfast.

The toilet kept running after use and had to be manually stopped. The shower didn't drain properly so you were standing in over an inch of your own grey water. This was reported day 1 of our 2 day stay but nothing appeared to have been done about it. We'd suggest the plumbing is reviewed. Serving hot poussin, with a pot of gravy on the side, on a tile is not really a sensible idea. Perhaps if you matched dishes to the menu item rather than serve virtually everything on tiles would be useful.

Lovely annex room. Direct room access to the safe enclosed garden was lovely. It was dog friendly with a dog bed (on which we could put his own bedding). The bag of treats and a ball provided was a nice touch. Dinner and wine (4 Adults and 1 toddler) in the restaurant was very good indeed and sensibly priced. The Hanger Steak was excellent. The children's meal was also good.

needs more parking

Bed was too soft for me and tv outdated

The staff were excepional. Rooms could do with updating ie bed, furniture and TV. Bathroom lovely. The facilities in the room were great. The room was very warm although fans were provided. Didn't have breakfast as felt it was on the expensive side but no problem as tea coffee water provided. Would stay again

The room was really hot overnight, not much sleep was had. The reception staff were not particularly friendly.

Nice room with good space and decor.

My room at NE end was overlooking car park and close to mainline railway so rather noisy. Slightly faded decor.

Character hotel at centre of town. Bar and restaurant.

Great location for station and rooms nicely furnished. Friendly staff

The sink in our twin room had a massive crack in it, which had been taped up with masking tape! The door to the bathroom was sliding, and very noisy to open & close. It was so close to the twin bed, it had to be closed, as you could see straight into the toilet!

The evening meal was really lovely and the dining room was very atmospheric. The tea facilities in the bedroom were excellent and the bath products very nice! Very clean too.

I used to work in this hotel in 1977 when standards and professionalism were very high. Over the past few years, we have stayed here many times. 17.00 on a Saturday and the reception was closed. l was not booked into the room l had paid extra for. Since breakfast was not included l thought it was very expensive. For £125 l think it was penny pinching not to include breakfast

Though a bit shabby and the whole Raj vibe very outdated, it is clean and very comfortable.

Said ‘garden room’ on the booking but my room overlooked a busy road. Couldn’t therefore have window open overnight. Breakfast too expensive to even consider.

Nice room, friendly staff

There is a sitting area in reception that could do with a lamp... For the price was great

Lovely location. Lovely staff. Nice place. Could easily be higher star rated with a little tlc. Definitely good value. Would use again

Room was a little dark

Convenient location for walking the Thames Path. The room was spacious with the option to sit outside in the garden. Nice to have a restaurant attached.

The room was pretty small

The location

Stayed in April 2024

Car park is small so difficult to find a parking space.

Beautifully decorated and kitted out bathroom with a superb shower. The rest of the room was nice but not to the same standard of decoration. Large hanging TV made reaching the blind chord behind it, very tricky. Bed was reasonably comfortable but I have stayed in hotels with better mattresses for the price. Good WiFi. Lots of nice touches in terms of coffee tray and bathroom amenities.

Quiet comfortable room with large bathroom. Great breakfasts and helpful staff
