Outdated, a need of an update if they are gonna continue to attract any guests.
Pros:

The staff were super friendly.

Cons:

The property is incredibly dated, and I actually haven’t been there since I was 19 years old. I’m now 57 and it really doesn’t look like it’s changed at all.

OK for one night.
Pros:

Staff friendly. Room had everything I needed. Bed was comfortable and bedding was of good quality. Good shower though some signs of mould round the enclosure.

Cons:

Housekeeping hadn't done a great job - some threads on the carpet and also what looked like paint splashes on the carpet and bathroom floor. Small crack in bathroom sink.
Breakfast was nothing spectacular. Beware when I was there no eggs were on the buffet. I took other items and was then asked if I wanted an egg which was freshly cooked, by which time other things were stone cold.

A pleasant and convenient overnight stay with comfy rooms.
Pros:

I regularly stay at the Calcot. The rooms are large and comfy with a great bath and fluffy towels. Staff are always pleasant and welcoming and the food was enjoyable. The dinner menu was limited on my stay and that was disappointing but the breakfast was excellent. Drink selection the usual beers and lagers and I dont expect real ales so drink Guinness which was good. The hotel is so very convenient for the M4 junction.

Cons:

Nothing to moan about.
