Lovely hotel in the centre of Reading, with excellent customer service. The wheelchair accessible room was perfect for my needs. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. This hotel will be a regular place for us to stay when in the Reading area going forward. Highly recommended!

I arrived on a Saturday. It was quite noisy, both around the property and other occupants on my floor-I was on the 3rd floor. Seems like a lot of locals hang out at the bar, and end up in the rooms? There is not a landline phone in the rooms, and no washcloths. Very scarce room. OK for the discounted price but I don’t think I’d be back on the regular room rate. Breakfast was good - the basic Continental breakfast fare.

There was skid marks in the toilet once arrived into our room, staff didn’t describe breakfast for the morning what the deal would be, we already pre paid but they didn’t advise how it would work. Paid for a room with a king size bed and you get two beds pushed together which is ridiculous. To top it off it was two single pathetic blankets on the bed not ideal if you go with your missus, breakfast was disgusting as well would never return to this place such a horrible disgusting place to go!

Great Concept. Poorly Delivered
Easy polite check in. Close to station and parking. Website gives the impression of a fun place to be but most of the staff need to be told this. Great breakfast selection but the cooked breakfast was cold. House keeping kept knocking on door despite us being well within check out time and the Do Not Disturb sign. Could do with an extract fan in the bathroom.
