Stayed for 1 night for Reading festival. Not too far to walk, just under 40 minutes which we didn't mind. Arrived at the Lawn Hotel by car, there is a big carpark so no problem getting a space. …

The staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The hotel itself was on the older side, needed plenty of maintenance and update to the 21st century 🙂

I’d rather stay in fawlty towers. This place is older than Henry the eighth. Should be demolished. Smells of damp no staff in the place at all. You have to check in at the hotel next door. Place is a joke. Informed booking .com they didn’t want to know. It’s disgusting that they are allowed to trade with the state of this place.

AVOID AVOID AVOIDWhat a dump!I wouldn't let my dog stay here!You turn up and park up, get your belongings out and then head into the hotel? Only to be greeted with a sign that tells you to walk up to the next door building to check in. Met with the receptionist who had about as much enthusiasm as a wooden plank. Was given the key to room 18. Then you have to walk all the way back to the Lawn hotel only to be greeted by what could only be described as a fishmongers smell. Once in the hotel there are no signs telling you where the rooms are and was told by a lady in slippers and dressing gown that it was on the top floor. Once in the room I thought it was ok but a bit small, very grubby. I thought I would make myself a coffee, couldn't find a kettle or anything. Eventually found it in the desk cupboard, no teaspoon? Went to the toilet and it blocked on first use? Tried to have a shower but the shower head sprayed water out sideways, there is no control over the temperature of the shower so if you like it scalding then it's for you. Stepped out of the shower and slipped on the floor, from all the water spraying out sideways from the shower head. Now in A and E for concussion.Just avoid avoid avoid.

BED BUGS!!! Pest uncontrolled hotel. Do not stay in this hotel. My room was apparently clean but in the middle of the night despite having checked the linens first, I woke up with lots of itching on my body.I then found in the morning several bed bugs crawling under and over the sheets.I notified the reception showing them the red dots all over my body the numerous bugs and the pictures. They offered not to charge me for the room and send pest control, but the problem is the 30 years old mattress and beds, the carpet floors that can’t be daily cleant, etc. I doubt pest control will be able to solve the problemPlease avoid if you do not want to bring undesired party crashes home.
