Polite, friendly staff, good price/value, laid-back neighbourhood. Really, really awful doors: closing one amounts to an earthquake.

Location was good for our trip to Reading for the weekend to celebrate a family event. Breakfast was good but better if served on warmed plates - they were stone cold. Room was okay, bed comfortable. Would stay again. Had to ask for a kettle but friendly staff supplied within minutes. The beside lamp didn't work, asked for a replacement but it never arrived.

The car park was full when I arrived, so the manager arranged for me to park next door overnight. Room was comfortable and clean, shower was good and a decent breakfast. I didn't realise that it was a B&B only, and not a great choice of eating places within walking distance.

Staff were all really friendly at helpful. I think it was family run and you could feel the sense of community and co-operation between them. The breakfast was dreadful. The tea had a scaley/limey taste to it. I was staying in room 1. There was a damp problem below the window to the front external wall (Didn't report it- so I apologise. Extractor fan in the shower very noisy, needed a clean and some maintenance. You have my permission to give my name address and comments, good and bad to hotel owners

Front desk staff were very cordial and very helpful (eg. could arrange for taxis quickly, helpful with directions, etc.) As we have to use stairs, heavy luggage can be a problem for upper floors.
