Stayed 2 nights at Whitley TL in a family room. It wasn't the greatest experience compared to the TL on the M4. There were only 2 towels for our family of 4. Although the bed looked inviting on arrival I was contemplating sleeping on the floor the second night. The legs on the bed almost gave way when my partner... More

I think the health and safety issue from the review below may of had to do with a woman getting locked into the bathroom when we were staying there! Luckily we didn't have the same issue but it was still a travelodge IE just a bed to sleep in at night. The staff were helpful enough and the room clean... More

We booked 2 family rooms at this Travelodge for a group of 6 people who travelled from Glasgow to Reading for an event on the Sunday. We arrived in a people mover to an half empty car park at 1am, absolutely exhausted. We went to the night desk and asked to check in to our 2 family rooms. The night... More

Booked an overnight as going to a function locally. Only paid £29 but it really was awful. The one member of staff on duty was really lovely and friendly - but room was dated, it smelt of damp, bed was so old and soft, pillows flat as pancakes and linen thread bare. Bathroom was even worse, couldn't bear to bathe... More

Helpful staff, but building badly in need of a makeover. Room smelt damp, carpet and sofa threadbare, sheets and covers clean but the actual duvet was a good 30% nicotine yellow - luckily I had my sleeping bag. However at 2 nights for £50 it was never going to be the Ritz: the room was warm and dry (despite the... More

I stayed at this hotel for one night on business. I am aware that travelodge are not high end hotels, however I do expect the basics to be right. The toilet u-bend was black with dirt, the bathroom generally had black mould on the ceiling and walls in various place, the wash basin had green mould growing around the plug... More

Check in Staff are excellent as is the night reception staff. Good parking facilities right in front of the hotel. Breakfast and meals are available in the pub next door which are advertised at really cheap prices. The hotel has been neglected and is in serious need of refurbishment and upgrading otherwise it would be a great hotel for the... More

Helpful front desk staff, quick easy check-in, clean spacious room with plenty of free close parking. Tea, coffee and a good hot shower. Very comfy bed! Cheap breakfast nextdoor. Not too sure what people are complaining about on here. For £24 a night what you get is excellent.

The only reason my family & I stay in this Travelodge is purely because of its location as we are Cornwall-based supporters of Reading Football Club. In the 10 years we have been using this "Hotel" (and I use the term loosely) the place has fallen into a complete state of disrepair and is in desperate need of updating and... More
