At The Bell and Bottle, the on-site Indian restaurant is widely praised, while opinions on the accommodation vary, with comfortable, spacious rooms for some and others reporting heat, limited ventilation, or noise from internal corridors and the road.
Breakfast is often included and generally enjoyed, though several reviews found it basic or poorly organized, and some diners considered restaurant prices high. Cleanliness and upkeep range from very clean rooms to reports of stained bedding, dirty window sills, and broken fixtures. The location is convenient for Henley and road travel, with ample parking, though traffic or event noise is mentioned. Overall, it suits practical stays if you confirm room details ahead of time.

Lovely friendly staff, room was comfortable but a little basic. A mirror in the bedroom would be a welcome addition. Breakfast was nice. The hotel is on a busy road but the view from the back was stunning. They run an indian restaurant with lots of events and we were told that the food was great. Would stay again.

We phoned ahead to ask if someone would be available to drop our luggage before check in as we were out for the day and were told yes but when we arrived at 11am it was locked up and no one there. When we got back in the evening there was a party (of about 4 people) going on in the restaurant immediately below the rooms with a DJ and the music was ridiculously loud. We checked in and went upstairs to our room to find that the music was vibrating the walls. We went down to ask how long it would last and were told until 11pm. We said this was not appropriate and were ignored. The music went on until 12.15pm. The rooms are university-hall standard, at best. At check in they asked us to fill out a form for the included breakfast which we did and when we went down to breakfast we asked that they were checking the forms as my partner has food intolerances and were assured they had the information. However, when the food arrived it was completely different than what we ordered and random, my partner was unable to eat what was served. What was edible, was terrible.

Thought it was a village pub but was an Indian Restaurant. Service was slow due to understaffing but staff were very courteous and polite. Tables were not cleaned from evening meal when we went for breakfast.

Positives Free and ample parking. Negatives Hellishly expensive restaurant with no discount for residents. Poor selection of beers or ales. Cleaniless of the room in particular window sills left a lot to be desired. The downstairs of the hotel is a restaurant and nice looking but upstairs was the complete opposite. Advertised as a hotel, when in reality it is a restaurant with bedsit like accommodation. Breakfast order was taken the night before with a set time. Small cups for tea and only half filled and rather stewed. Poached eggs were cold, hard and rubbery. Sausage looked half cooked and rather pale like it has only been griddled one on side. No choice of toast, simply given white. Overall it was disappointing and certainly won't be returning.

The rooms are basic or functional, but they weren't that clean. The toilet was nothing short of disgusting. The room had everything in that was needed I suppose but I was quite surprised that noise really travelled across the hotel and restaurant as did the aroma of cooking. Probably wouldnt return.

Someone's underwear left in a draw, marks/stains on the sheets, chaotic check in, shower head broken, bed was so uncomfortable and faced a busy main road. We had to ask multiple times for towels, as there was only one in the room. Breakfast was ok but nothing to sing about. Very disappointing. Wouldn't recommend

On checking in to my stay, the staff were very unhelpful. So much so that they didn’t explain to me that in the morning there was a back door you have to exit from, without knowing this information I found myself locked in the property with no idea how to get out. This made me very late for work. My room was boiling, and wasn’t advertised that it had no windows that opened to the outside. The windows to the room opened out in to a corridor leading to other rooms. This meant the room was also pretty loud with people walking past the door and windows. On arriving back from work on my second night stay I was greeted by a much more helpful member of staff that told me that I should never have been given that room due to a key to the room being taken by a guest and it was a safety issue. I then had to switch rooms. At least the new room had windows that opened to the outside. Personally I will not use this “hotel” again. Unfortunately the price did not reflect the type of stay I received. To many negatives in such a short stay is worrying.

The food from the restaurant downstairs was very good. The room was abysmal as the window opened out to the internal fire escape corridor. As such the room was essentially a badly ventilated oven. A portable AC unit was provided, but to use it you had to leave the window to the corridor open meaning you could wave to anyone going past, but not talk to them as the AC sounded like a jet. Further to this the corridor had motion sensing lighting so all night it would randomly come on and illuminate my room.

There was a party going on in the restaurant downstairs until gone 11, and the music was loud enough to shame the entire room. Avoid staying here, the room is less than basic, plain white walls and bedding, windows that open into a hallway, and the WiFi doesn't work. Giant air con unit just pulling air from the next room over, horrendously un-eco-friendly.

When we got back in the evening there was a party (of about 4 people) going on in the restaurant immediately below the rooms with a DJ and the music was ridiculously loud. We checked in and went upstairs to our room to find that the music was vibrating the walls. We went down to ask how long it would last and were told until 11pm. We said this was not appropriate and were ignored. The music went on until 12.15pm. The rooms are university-hall standard, at best. At check in they asked us to fill out a form for the included breakfast which we did and when we went down to breakfast we asked that they were checking the forms as my partner has food intolerances and were assured they had the information.

Thought it was a village pub but was an Indian Restaurant. Service was slow due to understaffing but staff were very courteous and polite. Tables were not cleaned from evening meal when we went for breakfast.

Overnight stay. Arrived early so room still occupied but the hosts where very accommodating and allowed us change for our day out in the hotel. Room clean and comfortable with good variety of hot drinks and lovely view. Lovely breakfast. Convenient for our day at Henley. Friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this place.

Lovely friendly staff, room was comfortable but a little basic. A mirror in the bedroom would be a welcome addition. Breakfast was nice. The hotel is on a busy road but the view from the back was stunning. They run an indian restaurant with lots of events and we were told that the food was great. Would stay again.

Someone's underwear left in a draw, marks/stains on the sheets, chaotic check in, shower head broken, bed was so uncomfortable and faced a busy main road. We had to ask multiple times for towels, as there was only one in the room. Breakfast was ok but nothing to sing about. Very disappointing. Wouldn't recommend

Rooms were good and the food in the restaurant is first class Staff couldn’t do enough for me and even kept the kitchen open when I arrived late on a Sunday. Only issue was the road noise at night, however, nothing can be done about that!

We phoned ahead to ask if someone would be available to drop our luggage before check in as we were out for the day and were told yes but when we arrived at 11am it was locked up and no one there. When we got back in the evening there was a party (of about 4 people) going on in the restaurant immediately below the rooms with a DJ and the music was ridiculously loud. We checked in and went upstairs to our room to find that the music was vibrating the walls. We went down to ask how long it would last and were told until 11pm. We said this was not appropriate and were ignored. The music went on until 12.15pm. The rooms are university-hall standard, at best. At check in they asked us to fill out a form for the included breakfast which we did and when we went down to breakfast we asked that they were checking the forms as my partner has food intolerances and were assured they had the information. However, when the food arrived it was completely different than what we ordered and random, my partner was unable to eat what was served. What was edible, was terrible.

Positives Free and ample parking. Negatives Hellishly expensive restaurant with no discount for residents. Poor selection of beers or ales. Cleaniless of the room in particular window sills left a lot to be desired. The downstairs of the hotel is a restaurant and nice looking but upstairs was the complete opposite. Advertised as a hotel, when in reality it is a restaurant with bedsit like accommodation. Breakfast order was taken the night before with a set time. Small cups for tea and only half filled and rather stewed. Poached eggs were cold, hard and rubbery. Sausage looked half cooked and rather pale like it has only been griddled one on side. No choice of toast, simply given white. Overall it was disappointing and certainly won't be returning.

Very handy location for getting to Reading in the morning, with good free car parking. Room was comfortable though the air conditioning unit would ave been too loud to sleep with if that had been necessary. Indian restaurant downstairs smelt delicious but I didn't try the food. Staff helpful.

I would not stay here again under any circumstances. Value for money was extremely poor. We reserved 3 rooms at £140 each. The third room was not needed in the end but any attempt to get a refund was met with indifference. The shower rail detached from the wall and the hose was kinked. The toilet seat was skew-whiff. The light went off in the bathroom after less than a minute. Despite the rooms being occupied by 2 people, there was only 1 towel, 1 cup, 1 glass and even 1 bedside table in each room. I suppose we should be grateful there was a double bed. The WiFi didn’t work. There was no breakfast and in the morning we had to leave via the fire exit. This accommodation should not be on hotels.com - it’s not worthy of inclusion. Don’t stay here, not even if you’re desperate (which we were).

I stayed at the Bell and Bottle Hotel for a week and found it to be excellent value for money. It's an Indian restaurant with guest rooms on the second floor (no elevator). The room and bathroom were spacious, and while there was no air conditioning, the fan kept the room comfortable. The Wi-Fi was a bit weak, but everything else met my expectations. The service was friendly and reliable throughout my stay. The hotel is in a quiet rural location, so I relied on Uber for transportation, although it can be expensive in the UK. Keep in mind that when the restaurant is closed, guests need to use the back entrance. Overall, it was a comfortable stay, and I'd be happy to stay here again.
