Very fun place to stay in Reading. The walk from the train station took about 10 minutes. The room was very clean and the Bath amenities were very luxurious. Had a burger in the pub downstairs and the atmosphere was welcoming and lively.

The fire alarm went off in the middle of the night and you can hear a bit of noise - the walls are pretty thin but outside of that, it was great!

I was really surprised by The Market House. While walking in I didn't have a great feeling, my room was absolutely beautiful and the amenities were better than you'd get in a 5 star hotel. It was really fantastic! I will definitely be staying again.
