Crescent Hotel

This is our second stay and will be returning agin only real problems is the kettle messes when poring and the shower is very hot and couldn’t cool it down as well as having just about no water pressure at all

They never cleaned the room I also book another extra night and they didn't clean not even provide toilet paper or towels I had to request for it and also not option for bed and breakfast they don't provide this service but on Internet says they do and not even for get water because the machine was broken, they provide coffee and sugar and the person attending the hotel was very friendly.

No light on front door as it gets dark early so good luck on opening door. Sat on bed and dipped in. Went for shower shampoo in my hair and only hot water. Shower wasn't working. Had to fill kettle with cup and wash hair. Asked for extra pillow as wasn't given one. Doors are really heavy to push open as they are facing stairs. So good luck

I arrived in need of a hot shower and found the shower broken. No way of regulating the temperature and the water was scolding hot i had started to shower so my hair was wet. There was no way to shower due to the temperature so i then tried to dry my hair only to find the hairdryer did not work. No heating in the room so wrapped my wet hair in a towel and slept with cold wet hair all night. Noone on reception. Absolutely appaling. Want a refund and to warn others

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The sponge mattress had a large lump missing, dirt up the walls. The walls are so thin that getting any sleep is difficult. I could hear everything happening in the next room. The shared bathroom was new, have to wait a while for the hot water and was the nicest part of the stay.

Cheap and cheerful is ok. This place is cheap and nasty. The room smells funky. Shared toilet and shower. Tiny TV.

The hotel is definetely a bit shabby and down-at-heel, but it is clean and the staff friendly. Although it was a shared bathroom this was not a problem. The shower was surprisingly strong and as hot as i needed. The room was small but the matress on the bed was very comfortable. If you're happy with cheap but clean then I'd recommend it. I'd stay again

I needed a comfy affordable room for a 1 night stay in Reading and in that respect it ticket all the boxes for my requirement. Comfy enough bed for an average sized bloke, not the softest but perfectly fine, good supply of tea and coffee although could have done with a couple more milks as I like my tea a little milkier than average. Its a shared bathroom so its only going to be as clean as the left person left it so you kind of expect the odd hair but it was fine for me, ive used festival toilets and showers and if coped with them I can more than cope with this. The place is a little tired but its an old building. One notable point to make on the furnishings was the mirror was attached to the wall with glue and sealant and it was a shocking job with gobs of it everywhere. It really doesnt take 2 minutes to smooth out the sealant so that is just laziness and it really let the room down for something to easy to avoid. So 3/5, far from Buckingham Palace, but cheap and cheerful and £27 for a single room is a great price to be fair.

Bed was mouldy Every inch of the hotel is covered in dirt Shower wasnt hot Toilet wouldnt flash Shower was dirty I definitely wouldn't recommend

Would not recommend this hotel. Our room was dingy and had stains and holes in the walls, the wallpaper was ripped. There were no tea spoons in the room and the man behind the front desk looked surprised when I asked for some, he went into the back office, rummaged around in a drawer and gave me two grubby looking plastic spoons. We had to get him to look at the toilet as it didn't flush, he said the plumming was old and you had to wiggle the handle to flush it, we spent the whole weekend trying to get it to flush properly. The bathroom floor was dangerous, all the floor tiles were broken and loose, the shower was either freezing cold or scalding hot. The bed was two mis-matched divan halves pushed together, the floor was badly laid vinyl wood effect sticky tiles. The only positive was we were only there for 2 nights not a week !

DO NOT STAY!!! The WORST hotel in Reading. Disgusting, unclean, blood and pooh on walls and bed sheets. Staines everywhere aggressive staff who manhandle people. Can't believe hotels . Com allow this property on their site. Minus stars if possible.

Bad condition. No soundproof at all. For two nights I was hearing some weird groaning from the person staying next door. I did not know that the Room I was going to stay at is not en-suite. Dusty and old carpets. Moulds on the wall. The doors were in bad condition. Had to change to TravelLodge for my 3rd night

The whole building needs renovation. It is old and room not aired out so smell of dampness.

The property was now up to standard the room was dirty all the walls was dirty and the bathroom was dirty as well I was not satisfy I didn’t even take a shower and I really would like a refund and I also have a video to show how the room was

Worst hotel experience of my life. This is an outright scam. Nothing like the pictures. Place is filthy, dirty and in a poor state of disrepair. Recommend you avoid at all cost.

Dreadful cobwebs and pooh in the bathroom

A new low point reached. Noisey all night & filthy

The bed was nice with fresh sheets and the bathroom was nice and clean apart from broken tap. We were lucky to have the double with en-suite, other rooms had a shared bathroom. Manky carpets, dirty walls, mouldy ceiling. Noisy. I know its a cheap hotel but wasnt dirt cheap.

Very clean and comfortable no frills accommodation. Late check-in was great as we were working at the Festival

An all round uncomfortable stay.

Check in was good, staff was friendly Just the beds needs replacing and can be painted It served it purpose for us

It is alittle run down but it is clean and in a quiet area.it has alot of stairs and doors to go through to get to your room so can be abit awkward with suitcases. Downside the walls are paper thin do you do hear everything .you can hear them chatting on their mobiles to chatting and going to toilet walking etc etc. I did find that the bed was quite hard like it was old and pillows were old as they placed two in one pillowcase.its an ok place if convenience of location is the priority

Absolute basic hotel for a very low price. If all you want is a bed for the night it is fine but if you want anything else you will have to go somewhere else and pay more.

It was awful. Too noisy to sleep well. To be fair it was cheap and was all that was available with Reading being so busy. The man at reception was polite and nice natured but the place was horrendous. Go into this place with your eyes open.

It's cheap and adequate, beds are comfortable enough; however, the wifi wasn't good enough to stream TV which when is pretty essential to pass time when working away from home.

Overall the room was good value for money, being only 30 mins walk from Reading Festival. Had a very nice check in. The room itself was good, a few chipped paintworks and a very dusty extractor fan in bathroom, but we were happy nonetheless. Only small issue was we only had half a room of toilet paper and on Saturday morning we asked for it to be replaced whilst we were out at the festival. On our return at midnight, no toilet paper was provided, which made things difficult. Would recommend having at least 1 spare in the bathroom provided if the one on the rail is not a full one. Otherwise we had a lovely stay and would recommend if you are looking for a room to drop your stuff, go to the festival or stay most time out in Reading. We would happy come back if at least 1 extra toilet rolls were provided in the bathroom on our check in.

friendly

They never cleaned the room I also book another extra night and they didn't clean not even provide toilet paper or towels I had to request for it and also not option for bed and breakfast they don't provide this service but on Internet says they do and not even for get water because the machine was broken, they provide coffee and sugar and the person attending the hotel was very friendly.

This room was simple, but clean and the shower was good. The owner gave me an upgrade so that I did not have to share a bathroom. For the price, it exceeded my expectations.

Very grumpy man at reception - facilities highly basic - don't pay too much for this property or you may be sorely disappointed

Great budget option. Close enough to town and walkable (40 mins) to Reading FC.

Perfect stay on our way back from Cornwall. Close to Stonehenge, which we visited in the afternoon

Fine for 1 night the hotel is a bit run down the rooms are clean and tidy it was quite and less than 12 minute walk to town centre
