“Less than ideal for the money.”

We stayed at Thamesmead House during Regatta Week, and were prepared to pay double the normal room rate of £125 (so £250) for the standard of hotel and convenience of it's location.

What I did not expect was to be woken at 4.30am by the waste lorry emptying bins at the pub opposite for 15 mins, then the bread van at 6'ish, and then the tanker for mobile toilets travelling up and down the road. The owners told me they did not hear a thing as they are at the back of the house.

Breakfast was accpetable, but a simple order for poached eggson brown bread resulting in a poached egg on white.

Ok, so not the most serious of issues so far. What I do take exception too is being charged £2.00 for a .45pence paper. I thought the charge was for a tray of tea in our room, only noticing the detail later.

I did call the hotel, who told me 'there was a cost in having papers delivered, and that as a business they had to make a profit where they could'. I would have thought for £250 they could have been a touch less mercenary.

We will not be staying there again.

We apply a standard charge for all newspapers, as the price has to include the cost of the paper, be it The Times or the USA Today (!), we only charge the standard rate. However, in hindsight, we do concede that during Regatta week, when room rates are increased due to overwhelming popularity, the newspapers should be included in the room price. Dear Sir, if you so wish I will happily refund the £2,00 you were charged.

“Perfect weekend in the country”

My husband and i wanted a short weekend away to Henley. Decided on this hotel and were not disappointed!

There are only 5 rooms and all amazing and comfortable. On arrival we had champagne brought to us that we had pre requested. Sat in the lounge with doors open onto small garden wth lots of lavender, smells lovely.We felt so relaxed!

The beds are very comfortable with amazing white crisp cotton linen to die for!

There is no restaurant but the owners are there for your every need and will make sandwiches if you need. You can buy alcohol on the premises and they do a fantastic breakfast in the morning which is a must!

All in all if you are looking for a great relaxing weekend away with a short 2 minute walk into Henely this place is perfect!

“Superb”

Went to Henley for a wedding recently and stayed in the Thamesmead House Hotel. The price was not cheap for a double room, but everything about the hotel was pretty much perfect. The staff were friendly and helpful, the location is ideal for the centre of Henley - located just over the other side of the river next to the bridge - and the room was well decorated and very light with a big window overlooking the front of the hotel. The bed was comfy with white cotton sheets and big plump pillows, and the bathroom was also up to standard. Also, the breakfast was delicious (even when consumed with a hangover) and included cereals, toast, juice and a full English.
Highly recommended.
