Ok but nothing special. Fulfilled the basic requirements.
Pros:

The grounds it is situated in.

Cons:

Poor coffee options in rooms. Love my early AM “Joe” and just wasn’t able to get my fix at the RBH. And “fitness room” very poor. Hotel should take over another room (larger !) and up their game in this area.,

Will come to stay again.
Pros:

The location was great for my purposes. The hotel is in quiet environment. It’s a typical UK hotel with modern furniture and facilities in the rooms. The beds were super comfortable!!!

Cons:

Nothing. Narrow staircases but that goes with proper English hotel. 😀

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Royal Berkshire, a gem not too far from Heathrow.
Pros:

The room was excellent, especially as we were given a free upgrade to help celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary. Dinner was delicious and breakfast was traditional English style, with a large selection of items to choose from.

Comfortable, relaxed with friendly, helpful staff. Really beautiful park/garden.
Pros:

Breakfast and dinner both very good in the dining room with views over the beautiful grounds.

Cons:

The shower which had no instructions for use - full points for sleek, modern design and no points for ease of use - and no instructions either.

The same problem with the radio.

Champagne pricing, lemonade (at best) service and quality.
Pros:

Good location, good parking.
Quite a good breakfast offering, service a bit slow.
Good number of EV chargers available.

Cons:

Kitchen closed too early at 9.00pm, should be 10pm for hot food in the lounge.
No facilities to move luggage easily, no trolley etc all needs to be man handled. No lift to upper floors.
£22 per person for breakfast is overcharging and ‘one size fits all’ mentality. The room charge is highest in area, so that much extra for breakfast is too much.
£12 for cereal buffet and charge more for buffet and then cooked food.
Reception and staff attitude was poor, treating guests with disdain.
Had something delivered with my name and room number, and they lost it, and then denied receiving it until I supplied photographic proof of delivery. Wasted an hour trying to find it tucked in a drawer somewhere.
Asked about EV charging facilities and rates, got the answer “nothing to do with us”! NOT TRUE! The facilities are on your property for the use of guests, it is to do with you! Learn about it so you can provide a good level of service to guests!
The whole reception and staff attitude is to avoid providing good service to guests and not get their hands dirty.
Then, telling me that I can’t come into the hotel to collect my luggage as ‘someone else’ has taken over the hotel.
Now 2nd rate customer, and when I did come to collect my luggage I was told to stand outside in the rain whilst they brought it out! Not told this when I booked or upon arrival.
I don’t spent £275 per night to be treated like that!
I’ve stayed here several times and the whole experience has gone down to 3star with no quality.
