French Horn Hotel

You book some hotels and they make you feel like you are just one of many visitors that day. I booked the Thameside Hotel for my wife and brother in law who where visiting friends. From the phone calls to the catch up when she got home she had nothing but praise for the owners. The wife was so attentive and caring. I have read some of the reviews and I have to say, we my wife found this hotel an absolute delight. We could not recommend this hotel enough. Thank you so much for looking after my wife and brother in law, my wife is not usually impressed, but on the occasion she we so happy to have stayed at the Thameside Hotel and met the delightful owners. Kind regards Steve

Stayed here recently and from the welcome upon arrival, to the choice of a room, this family run business is a delight. Julie and Brian put so much of themselves into making your stay such a pleasure. Stayed here with my sister for a couple of nights. Highly recommended

Momentarily stayed here 2 weeks ago in room #3. It was late by the time I got to Reading so there was limited availability in the area. Checked in & paid with the night porter and went up to the room. Opened the door to a very basic room but I half expected that anyway. Sat down to send some emails and decided some fresh air was probably needed but the window handle was broken off. As I returned to the bed to unpack I could hear some shuffling noises, figured it was the room next door but this got louder and louder and was in the walls and under the floor boards. It then became apparent this was not shuffling but scratching of rodents. At that I packed my things and went down to the night porter and told him they had a rodent infested room. He didn’t protest or want to examine my concerns as if to note to himself that it was no surprise and this wasn’t the first time they’ve had this complaint most likely. I was informed by night porter refund would go through. I called the hotel next day to ensure this but no answer and left a voicemail and since have not received a call back or refund. Absolute disgrace. This place should be shut down and inspected by health inspectors.
