Despite these drawbacks, many guests still view the breakfast as a highlight.

The lively bar and friendly, helpful staff contribute to a pleasant dining atmosphere. The restaurant offers good value for money with its diverse menu and reasonable prices. The dining experience is rounded off with a nicely decorated space, making it memorable and enjoyable.

The hotel’s rooms receive mixed reviews. While many guests find the rooms spacious, clean and comfortable with charming period features, others note the dated décor and occasional noise issues, particularly from the nearby railway. Some rooms would benefit from refurbishment and deeper cleaning. Nevertheless, for those looking for a quaint stay in a characterful old building, the rooms fulfill basic needs adequately.

Cleanliness is another area with mixed feedback. Many guests find the hotel clean and well-maintained, but some point out areas showing wear and tear, like outdated bathrooms, dirty carpets and occasional musty odors.

WiFi experiences are mixed as well. While some guests commend the strong, reliable connection, others face significant issues with connectivity and reliability. Improvements in this area would enhance the convenience provided by free WiFi.

The comfort of the beds also garners mixed reviews. Many guests find the beds clean and comfortable, but issues such as old, sagging mattresses and improperly fitting linens are noted, affecting sleep quality for some visitors. Nevertheless, the friendly reception staff and the hotel’s beautiful location compensate for these drawbacks.

The George Hotel’s character as a historic '80s pub hotel lends it a unique, charming atmosphere. Though some facilities appear dated, ongoing improvements and budget-friendly rates make it a suitable choice for travelers seeking value without five-star expectations. Its fascinating history, including tales of being haunted by a witch, adds intrigue to any stay and its adaptation to modern circumstances, such as pandemic restrictions, is commendable.

In summary, The George Hotel Pangbourne is prized for its historic charm, central location, friendly staff and overall pleasant atmosphere, making it a memorable stay for those who appreciate character, tradition and convenience.
