About Crown Lodge Guest House
Russell Street sits within easy reach of Reading's centre, and it's here that Crown Lodge Guest House occupies a Victorian building with 13 rooms kept simple and cosy rather than grand. The property retains period character while offering the practical extras travellers need, including free on-site parking, which is a genuine advantage given the surrounding town setting.
Rooms come with drinks-making facilities, and guests have access to free WiFi throughout. A complimentary breakfast is included, and there's a restaurant and bar on site for other meals and evening drinks. Beyond the essentials, the property also has an indoor swimming pool, a gym, a garden, meeting rooms and a lift, along with porter services and luggage storage for those passing through. Crown Lodge also operates as a wedding venue for those wanting to host events on site.
The location on Russell Street puts guests within striking distance of Reading's transport links and central attractions, making it a workable base for both business trips and short breaks. Parking is free and on-site, a detail worth noting for anyone arriving by car in a town where that's not always guaranteed.
What guests say
My friend stayed here for emergency housing. I post on her behalf. I also helped her get settled so can confirm the room was immaculate and staff/owner bent over backwards to help her (diabetic) with her needs. Would definitely recommend to people needing a base of operation for their time in reading.

Clean room, not at all shabby. Spotless en suite. Comfy bed. 24 hour access. Very helpful manager (possibly also proprietor but I didn't ask). On site car park with plenty of spaces. Free wifi. The full English breakfast was disappointing but there was plenty of other stuff in clean, pleasant dining room. The manager said they stopped including mushrooms and tomatoes because nine times out of ten they scraped them into the bin. Also reasonably priced. If I absolutely have to go back to Reading, I'll defo stay there again

I arrived late but the owner to rang me to check i was ok and still on my way. Parked up at the rear of the property, my room was really clean with shower en suite and bed was comfy. The location was great, really close to town centre and the main railway station. Would happily stay there again!

Stayed here several times in July 2018. Clean, basic accommodation. Breakfasts minimal. Management extremely helpful. Excellent car parking behind guests house. At most a ten minute walk into the city centre. Overall, strongly recommend for its value for money and location.
