Hotel The Runnymede on Thames (Egham, United Kingdom)

If you need a relaxing getaway, The Runnymede-on-Thames ticks all the right boxes. Guests enjoy making the most of the well-maintained spa facilities and indulging in treatments. What more reason do you need to be pampered?

Unlike some spa hotels, this one is very welcoming to families with young children. There’s a children’s pool and playground, and babysitting services to give parents a well-deserved break.

Whether checking in, unwinding in the spa, or dining in the restaurant, you can look forward to attentive, warm service. Guests praise the friendly, helpful manner of the staff, and the attention to detail they show.

While most guests report that the standard rooms are comfortable, some also point out that they are on the small side, particularly for families. If you want masses of space, opt for a deluxe room, many of which also have river views.

While many guests rate the food and the choice of dining options, there are complaints that the food and drink at the hotel is overpriced for what you get, particularly the bar prices and room service.

A few guests have reported problems with the noise of the air conditioning system, or have found it faulty. Staff seem to resolve these kinds of problems where possible.
