N. B. | Runnymede

What our guests say

"Everything was first class, we came to see Kenny Thomas as we follow him round and was very excited to see him so up close and personal."

D. J. | Runnymede

What our guests say

"The room was ideal, spacious, located with its own terrace and a view of the Thames. We chose to dine in the Brasserie. Staff were friendly and plenty of choice with nightly specials. Chose breakfast in the Market Kitchen self service buffet, again a fine selection to chose from. I liked the choice of entertainment from the Lounge bar to the main entertainment lounge. Even got up from my chair to dance."

B. P. | Runnymede

What our guests say

"We enjoyed all of it. The rooms were spacious and clean and welcoming. Room tea services were great good choices. The restaurant service and food was tasty and beautifully presented. Cant fault our stay."

N. N. | Runnymede

What our guests say

"Warm welcoming staff and atmosphere, the food was very good. The situation of the hotel by the riverside with easy access to both road and country walks is very nice."

P. L. | Runnymede

What our guests say

"The room was exceptional as were the facilities. The food was excellent with a varied choice, drinks were also available with a large choice of good brands. The entertainment was outstanding on both nights but I have to say, I saw the REAL Simply Red at the 02 in October. This group were as good as was the amazing singer!!! Well done to you all!"

T. P. | Runnymede

What our guests say

"We were celebrating our Golden wedding anniversary there as 50 yrs ago we had our honeymoon night there and everyone made our stay very special."

R. M. | Runnymede

What our guests say

"The food was absolutely excellent in Market Kitchen, (that’s a big thing for us because if the food isn’t good, it spoils our trip). Our room was spacious with a very comfortable bed. We went to Windsor Castle and Hampton Court Palace, both close by. The shuttle bus was great. The entertainment was excellent."

K. D. | Runnymede

What our guests say

"The shuttle bus to Windsor was absolutely central for us. We have been to other Warner Hotels but our aim in choosing Runnymede this time was to see Windsor Castle and Hampton Court. So, the shuttle bus solved a lot of problems we would have had with parking in the centre of Windsor."
