The Old Lamb Hotel,

18-20 Church Street, Theale, Reading RG7 5BZ

"A clean and comfortable room . The price was good although the room was a little small. Easy check in with friendly staff. Breakfast was included and very tasty. I would stay again if in the area"

"Couldn't get a room en route from Reading to Bournemouth for under £160. This place has one for £57. I was dubious but had to do it. Thank God I did. Nice little run of rooms, basic, a little dated but clean and equip with everything you would need. View from my room over the church, TV, tea and coffee, good shower, desk and chair and two beds. Looking forward to breakfast."

"We had one night here to attend a funeral. The room is in a block at the back of the main building. To say it is dated is an understatement but the bed was clean and comfy and we had what we needed in the room. Breakfast was very good and the Manager let us stay an extra half an hour in the morning which helped a lot. All in all the stay here served us well and is near Reading where we had to go."

"Decor from the 70's and a mattress that feels like it's from the same decade. Described as Historic and charming and has apparently carried over the water pressure from when it was originally built in a effort to be authentic....there was concern if I would actually be able to remove the suds during my shower or have enough pressure for other matters. No food available and the website provides minimal information about where you can eat or the fact that most places stop serving food at 9 locally. On the plus side at least I didn't have to worry about sleeping through my alarm, the thin walls meant the car parked next to my room woke me up when they pulled off early in the morning and as a backup I could hear everything from the room above... Every step, flush and otherwise.... All in all not a great stay."

"The only good thing about this hotel was the breakfast. The room was up some outside stairs, tiny and cold. Couldn't get the radiators going and the bedroom windows didn't seal properly which didn't help. Didn't try the shower as it was just too cold in the bathroom. The beds were lumpy and uncomfortable. If the breakfast had been bad it would have been one star."
