About this hotel
This Premier Inn sits near Caversham Bridge, five minutes by taxi from Reading Museum and four minutes' walk from Rivermead Leisure Centre, giving a group both riverside walking routes and easy access into the town centre. Modern budget rooms come in family and double configurations, and on-site carvery dining covers a group meal without a booking elsewhere. Free parking is standard, and it's roughly forty-four minutes from Heathrow by taxi. It's a solid middle-of-the-cluster Premier Inn for a group wanting river walks alongside the golf.

Our take
This suits a group that wants a Premier Inn's reliability with a bit more to do on a rest afternoon, given the riverside position near Rivermead Leisure Centre. The carvery covers dinner easily; it's not a hotel built for atmosphere, but the location does more work than most in this budget tier.

- Walk the riverside route toward Caversham Bridge on a rest afternoon rather than driving anywhere for a change of scene.
- Book the carvery for the group's arrival night rather than hunting for a table across town.
- Ask about family-room configuration directly when booking if the group includes anyone needing extra space to spread out.

Why guests love itThe riverside walk toward Caversham Bridge gave us something to do on the one afternoon we didn't play, which beat sitting in the room at other budget stays we've tried. The carvery covered our group dinner without any fuss, and free parking meant our cars were never a second thought. The riverside walk toward Caversham Bridge became our go-to rest-afternoon activity, something none of our previous budget stays offered.
