Good, spacious room and excellent value. Great location.
Carly, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable and affordable
Well laid out room with cosy vibes, very relaxing. Helpful team at reception and nice and close to the centre of town. Well-sealed windows that keep the noise out, which is always important to me. The lift wasn't active when I visited, but I had small wheeled luggage so no problems.

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.

6/10 Good

Cleanliness the only issue
Location was excellent for access to the town centre and public transport. Check in was straightforward. The room was very basic, as expected so no problem, but concerned about the cleanliness when my tea cup was stuck to the saucer (face down) and was dirty, and a big clump of hair on the floor outside the shower. Single bed, comfy enough

Jonathan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location, rooms tired, beware of the stairs
The reception and bar/restaurant area has been refurbished to a good standard, however the rooms haven't been updated yet. We had a friendly welcome and check in was efficient. The room was not as described as we booked a family en suite and it wasn't until we were looking to rebook that we realised that our room should have had a sofa and bath instead of shower. The room has plenty of storage, but needs updating and a deep clean. Also the room was on the second floor with no lift and the stairs up to the second floor are curved and narrow in places so was a bit of an issue with luggage. Soundproofing could be improved as you can hear plumbing from other rooms and we were unlucky on the second night to have people walking past our room at 11.30pm talking which disturbed us. Bed was comfy enough, but did make a noise when you moved. There were 2 windows in our room and one pair of curtains were lined and kept out enough light, but the pair closest to the bed were unlined and with a building behind with lights on did leave the room light at night, however this was not a problem for us. The continental breakfast was very basic, and they were limited on items on our second morning when we went down about 30 minutes after breakfast started, not sure if they top up items but didn't whilst we were eating. Although this is a fairly basic hotel, it is in a good location.

8/10 Very good

Nice staff. My Room was massive and very clean. Nice bed. Very tired decor though. bathroom clean but even more tired. Hotel really needs an upgrade. Has the potential to be somewhere special but needs work.
Richard, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall a good stay for the price. Staff were friendly however announced our room number out loud upon check in - which is unsafe for two women travelling. Room was nice and spacious, shower was good as well. Our room however had some industrial-sounding drilling/humming noise on and off all night. Unsure if this was the building next door or the hotel itself. If you want a short trip on a budget I would recommend. However if you’re travelling solo might be unsafe as they like announcing your room number out loud.
