Very enjoyable

Good location, very handy for the railway station.All the staff were very helpful and courteous.

Great stay

Wonderful short spa break. Enjoyed every minute. Great room wonderful food and friendly staff. Spa was super and Lucian gave my wife a brilliant facial which she said was the best she has ever had.

Weekend stay

On arrival check in was smooth and friendly. The room was spacious with everything you need including robes for use of the spa.
The pool area was lovely. Busy at times but if you left it till later it quietened down. Unable to book any treatments as fully booked. So subject if you would like a treatment book very early in advance.
The restaurant was relaxed and food delicious. I couldn t fault it. Same with breakfast in the morning. Overall had a great stay. Would return without a doubt just to unwind.

Brilliant Birthday Weekend

I purchased this package as a last minute stay for my partners birthday. I had initially found a similar deal elsewhere, but stumbled on OPL with this deal which was cheaper and a better type of room.
Prior to booking I had emailed the hotel to ask a few questions with regards to their menu and facilities. From the outset a fantastic hotel, very easy to drive to although there is a train station close by. The parking is free which was a bonus, we stayed in an Executive Room, which was a lovely size, they operate on a minimalist base, so you have everything you need in your room, but no added clutter. The room was clean, the bathroom was nice and clean, a few signs of wear with silicone etc in the bathroom, but nothing detrimental. The breakfast was lovely, served in their bar/restaurant location, its a nice place to sit. The tea & coffee service was great, the buffet was small, but had everything you could think of there, it was fresh and you would see the cooks, tending to keep the food coming. We had the Eggs Benedict made to order each day, which was lovely! On the first night we had a dinner booked at the restaurant. This was absolutely lovely, our servers were on alert if we needed them, friendly, happy to make a bit of small talk and knowledgeable on the food being served. We got a choice of two fixed menus to choose from, but were allowed to mix dishes from the two which was great. Every dish we had was brilliant, cooked, presented and tasted brilliant!!! The fitness/gym area is very well maintained, kept clean, tidy with someone always there for towels, info etc. The bar again fantastic, drinks were made well, and with the lovely weather we sat outside as most guests did. On a general this hotel surprised me, it was a great stay, if you are driving, things are local to get to, the only thing we noticed is that life is slower paced, so you may be waiting for service a tad longer.

Relaxing stay

it was very relaxing and it was value for money

Marie's review

We had a lovely stay at this venue. Receptionist more than helpful, room was beautiful and hotel very clean. We really enjoyed dinner and breakfast. Thank you all

Lovely rooms. Excellent staff

Lovely stay. Excellent staff. Food amazing. Room very clean. Just a couple of minor bits. The people above were a little noisy maybe kids jumping around so might ask for top floor next time. Willingly paid the 10% service charge on restaurant bill as the food was exceptional but feel it should be made clearer. On our second day room was not made up until late afternoon even though we had been out for the morning leaving the hanger on door that our room was available to clean. Luckily we had our own tea bags and milk for tea. By the time she knocked we were in relaxing, so declined the service but asked for clean cups and glasses, which was done immediately. Aircon could have been better never going below 23 degrees, even though we had it set on 20. None of the above would deter us from staying here again.

Mostly very good

Modern hotel which seemed very new. Lots of people staying which meant the swimming pool and loungers were overcrowded. The pool water was cold. Robes were not allowed in the bar/restaurant which was a pain. Prosecco and chocolate dipped strawberries were lovely. Evening meal was Ok
But some of the portions were very small. My beetroot starter had hardly anything on the plate.
Staff were very helpful. Good location for going shopping in Reading. Nice to have car park under the hotel.
