Located in a very central area of Reading which was convenient however room was very basic. There was no hand towel in the bathroom and the curtains were all stained. No one on reception when I arrived so had to wait for staff to check in. Novotel next door is so much nicer considering the two hotels are intertwined

Friendly staff and attentive service. Very clean, simple rooms with pretty good noise management although some late night noise from nearby bars/clubs. Very convenient to station and Reading is extremely well serviced by buses. Would recommend.

Good location, close to train station and town centre. Room was tired, stains on carpet. It’s more functional than exceptional. It suited my need as I arrived late and only stayed one night. Wi-Fi didn’t work in my room. Did mention it to reception who told me iPhones don’t always work?!? I noted it worked in reception just not my room.

horrible, smelled of urine, no TV, cold shower
Very disappointing; TV didn't work & I was told there's nothing they can do as they're fully booked & TV person has gone home. Toilet smelled of urine as if it needed a good clean & as the bathroom door didn't shut (swollen with damp) the whole room smelled of urine. The shower was sadly only just warm even on the 41 degrees setting, not hot enough to wash effectively. Bed was comfy but I won't be back.
