Needed a hotel, for a one night stay, in the area Yes, as you would expect for a budget hotel, its tatty. Very hospitable staff and the breakfast was BETTER QUALITY than most of the many 4/5 star hotels I've stayed in Not a place to impress a loved one but ideal for practicality, good discreet parking More

I had to attend some IT training at Thames Valley Park, most hotels around were booked, so left it up to company to find me a hotel, the Elmhurst was the closest available. If you are looking for a place to sleep for one night its ok, but I would not stay here again. It is a bit tatty and... More

We stayed at the hotel for three nights. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good. However, the hotel could do with some refurbishment. More

The smell when i opened the entrance door was terrible, an old musty, damp, stale beer smell that clung inside my... More

We stayed at this hotel on the Friday of the Reading Festival 2011. This was a stay arranged at short notice when our original accommodation was double-booked. We found the young guy on reception very friendly and helpful. The hotel could in truth do with a lick of paint, and the rooms were big but very basic. And it is... More

I can understand why some people have complained. The outside photo of this hotel is nothing like the inside which looks like Dell Boy´s flat in Peckham! It could do with a nice white paint job and some new carpet - everywhere. I booked a single room with a shared bathroom, but was given a single with an en suite... More

Please do not take too much notice of some of the downright rude reviews of the Elmhurst on here! Reading is a town in which hotels can easily command £200 per night. You can stay in the Elmhurst fror less than £40. The Elmhurst is a 'utility' hotel which is a £7 cab ride from Reading town centre. It is... More

There is run down and then there is downright neglect. The approach sets off alarm bells, every patch of earth has a full compliment of indigenous weeds in full bloom. everything we looked at was either cracked, flaked or rusted. Entry to reception was unimpressive at best and the ability of the individual to check us in without stopping to... More
