Elmhurst Hotel

The hotel is in a really good location with plenty of takeaways near by and also there is a Coop a few minutes walk away. The hotel room was clean with a comfortable bed, however the room decor is outdated but that didn't bother me with the price being excellent value for money. Also there is a resturant on site that has a good selection of food and there is free parking on site. I would definitely recommend staying here and I have already rebooked if another stay here.

Lovely breakfast included, I had a very basic clean room with toilet and shower an suite. Friendly helpful staff, never had a problem all the times I have stayed here.

Very basic hotel with dated furniture. Shared toilet and shower room. They need to improve cleanliness and get some new furniture. Only positive is that it's the cheapest hotel in Reading.

🤢 Pure filth!

Staff was nice and kind, but rooms are a little dated and cleanliness aspects could be improved... Is ok as a last minute booking for just passing out for the night and jetting off the next day.

The receptionist James was a very helpful, lovely and delightful person. However, when we entered the room there were used cotton buds (including ear wax) left on top of the bin bag. There was a dirty sock on the fire alarm and lighters and other junk found down the side of the bed. Even found drug baggies in the room. We have photo evidence of this, and will be presenting them to the appropriate authorities. The following morning, we were met with abruptness. The people on shift, on the 20th September 2025 at around 11:30 were just terrible with customer service. No manners, extremely patronising behaviour and taking photos of us without our permission. We believe this behaviour occurred because we are a same sex couple. See you in court.

When i arrived at the property, the outside was very dirty and looked rundown. The room door looked as if it had been kicked in previously, as i entered there was an empty mcdonalds bag and bottles/cans of stella on the side, clearly from a previous guest. The bed sheet had a dried contact lens on it, with the duvet cover had several stains on it. The bathroom smelled of urine and had sticky floors, thankfully there was a bottle of bleech next to the toilet, which i used with soapy water. Drying the floor with the white shower matt, which came up black....... The entire hotel was in serious need of a refurb, the staff and owner clearly have no pride and no desire to improve. I most definitely would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Room is old need to be refurbish

The Absolute worst! Hot, rancid smell. Shower didn't work in 2 rooms. Didn't even stay a night after booking 2. Avoid Avoid Avoid

Budget hotel, good value for money. Looks a bit grubby but needs a referb. Plenty of free parking.
