Best Western Reading Calcot Hotel

Perfect for the price range. Straight forward and easy.

Basic, dated and much you could criticise but it is very functional if you’re looking for a hotel to the West of Reading. Very close to the M4, so convenient and (unless there’s a wake going on when you arrive) there’s loads of parking. Came back at 5pm to find absolutely nowhere to park due to a wake, but to be fair they quickly sorted a space for me and gave a free drink voucher to say sorry - nice touch. Girls in the restaurant at breakfast are very friendly and happy to help, and Simone on reception is also great. Had one evening meal which was all good and whilst the menu isn’t à la carte, it is functional and my experience of the food was good. Get a room at the back, less road noise … can’t help with the overly loud shouty occupant in the room next door that I had ( he could have saved a phone bill by just shouting his conversation) or the one above who chose to leave a TV on all night and randomly woke me up with his “Ow … ouch … Ow …” cries in the middle of the night (cot needed maybe for that one!) Looking for luxury hotel accommodation - this isn’t for you. Looking for a functional hotel where, in the main, the staff are helpful, then there’s nothing wrong here. Yes, it is dated, yes, it could do with some investment in making it look and feel more modern, but generally not bad for the price

I recently stayed at the Calcot Hotel, we ate in the restaurant and thought the Mixed Grill was very generous and delicious! We enjoyed our drinks sitting in the sun on the terrace too! The Staff were all so friendly & helpful, but worth an extra mention were Yvonne and Marion! They were so attentive to all our needs, my mum is struggling with her knee at the moment so the ladies sourced her a wheelchair, got iced water for her and genuinely cared. Thank you ladies! We will most definitely stay again. Sonia & Helen

I recently stayed at Best Western Calcot Hotel Reading and honestly had a great time. From the get go, the staff were super friendly and really made me feel welcome. The room was clean, roomy, and really comfy, just what I needed after a long day. Breakfast was good with loads of options to choose from. Plus, the free parking and decent WiFi made things even easier. the location is pretty handy too, close enough to Reading town centre and easy to get around. All in all, a really good stay for the price. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
