Staff friendly responsive and available when needed. Great location however the building and furnishings needs updating.

Very nice. Very cheap. Convenient transport to station
Verified review

6/10 Good

Decent for the price, as all I needed was a shower, a bed (surprisingly comfortable!), and a meal. I'm happy that the restaurant kitchen was still open, as I arrived later in the evening. There were a few spots that could've been cleaned better, mainly in the bathroom. The place could become very nice with some modernization, but on the other hand, that would also reflect on the price.

My first room was not good, no hangers, no teaspoons, felt very very poor value, I informed the staff who were excellent, I was then put in another room to complete my stay, now that room was amazing, 4 poster bed, really fab.

Great bar restaurant downstairs. I was staying alone but was made to feel very welcome and looked after by the staff. For the price, I thought the room was great. Incredible location only 10 minute walk from the station. And the continental breakfast in the morning was perfect. Can’t really complain at all. Thank you guys it was brilliant.

Comfy bed and clean. Soundproofing could be improved but for be the price and location it's not bad. Didn't try the brekkie so can't comment but it was continental only.

Lovely staff, a few problems with the room but the staff swiftly sorted that out. Also had a miscommunication about timing of breakfast which meant I then missed it, however the staff kindly got me some fruit and yoghurt.

Good Hotel

We have been here before, this time we paid for a better room and it was loads better. If we are in Reading again we will use this Hotel.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Decent bed and shower, nice enough staff, and overall an average hotel stay. I’m giving it three stars because I was a bit disappointed with the breakfast. I had higher expectations when it said breakfast was included, but there was very little available. The selection was really small and there was hardly anything to choose from. The breakfast buffet definitely needs improvement. That said, the stay itself wasn’t bad overall.
