Hotels near Ice House, Reading

A very pretty hotel in a lovely location We found the hotel to be a little over priced. We booked a dinner, bed and breakfast deal with the hotel. The restaurant was full- always a good sign and the service excellent. Our meal was very nice. Our room although booking a higher grade room was quite basic but this was probably due to the historical age of the hotel. A Tudor inn I think. The shower was spacious and very modern I ordered the full English breakfast and it was completely over cooked, I couldn’t cut the bacon ! I did mention this to the manager on checkout who although apologetic never offered a refund. A service charge was added without any written or verbal notice. Don’t think we will return !

Clean and well lighted room. Great facilities with fitness room and multitude gaming setups. Even have a bar in the lobby. Serving great foods. All and all really enjoy the stay. Well recommended!

We used this hotel as a base to go horse racing in Newbury. Our initial room did'nt have a bath,but the very helpful young man on reception moved us without fuss in no time. When settled we went for a drink in the bar.We had booked dinner for both days and were very happy with both the food and the service( Ramana and Steffan were excellent). Breakfast was also good with plenty of variety and re-stocked regularly. Well done to all concerned,we will return. As a side note, a taxi to the racecourse is between £12 and £15 each way and takes about 15 mins.

the second i checked in got a very warm welcome from Safia and Prachi which made me feel very happy and is clear that the staff care about their jobs, even though the staff where polite the food was undercooked on multiple occasions during my stay which had also made vomit, i personally think the managers should be more on top of food quality.

Really helpful staff. Let us securely leave travel case before check-in time. Contacted us early (1PM) to let us have our apartment before the 3PM check-in. Apartment really is home from home! Fully kitted out kitchen. Modern furnishing, decoration and really clean. The apartments really our sound proofed and internally very quiet. Quiet complex and lift or stairs to aid access to apartments. Nice, warm and secure. Reception is hosted and even late at night you have an access code. The lovely lady on reception even said can call her if we could not gain entry! Perfect location - 2 minute walk to Oracle (shops) bars and restaurants. Even Sainsbury's is close so you can cook a meal in the kitchen. We guess the only thing to be aware is the complex is in a vibrant area and externally until 0200/0300 it is noisy so an earlyish night is not easy but this aside, well worth a stay.

As soon I stepped into the hotel, I knew I was in for a unique and memorable experience because it used to be a pub many years ago. The hotel itself exudes charm and character, setting it apart from the typical chain hotels. The historical charm of the Reading 1843 Hotel was complemented by tasteful modern touches, creating a perfect blend of old-world elegance and contemporary comfort. The interior design was thoughtfully curated, making every corner a feast for the eyes. When we met the restaurant manager, he gave us the restaurant's menu and offered a delightful array of dishes, each with a creative twist. The food was amazing – fresh, spicy and beautifully presented. It looks like the team at Reading 1843 Hotel takes pride in their work and genuinely cares about their guests' experience very seriously. The result of my experience at Reading 1843 Hotel exceeded all expectations. It's a destination that leaves a lasting impression.

Very welcoming accommodations. Feels like you’re in the wrong place to start (a pub), but once you get in the room it has a nice aesthetic more like an air bnb than a hotel room (in a good way). Food and drink at the bar were great. More casual than your everyday hotel, which I appreciated.

Isabel was incredibly helpful and attentive. It’s the first time I have ever know a conference be truly inclusive for dietary requirements, so thank you. The room was set up exactly as we requested, yea and coffee was readily available as requested and the goodies were delivered right on time! The high end organisation made our away day the best day. Thank you Isabel.

Very close to city center with access to food late at night. 15 minute walk to Train station. The room is tidy and bathroom is neat. However there is no amenities. I paid another 10 pounds to check in early at 12. The lift was not working at the time.

We had a really great stay at De Vere Wokefield Estate, Elle & Diaa in reception were so lovely and extremely helpful throughout our stay, Kim & Sarah at breakfast were also so helpful and such friendly chatty people, really made you feel at home and nothing was any trouble to them. A special mention to the night porter (who’s name we unfortunately didn’t get) who kindly gave us a drive over to the mansion house Saturday night on a buggy as our feet were very sore!
