Cheap, clean, functional. Some of the fittings (lamps) were less than well attached to the walls. That gave the place an air of tattiness and raised safety concerns.

This is a very conveniently located hotel for access to Reading centre amenities and rail station. The hotel is in a leafy, quiet area off town centre. The proprietor and staff are very friendly and welcoming, and most helpful answering my queries and helping me. I will book here again if I am in Reading on business.

The location allowed the town centre to be accessible.The staff were friendly without been over bearing.While the hotel was quite basic with not many facilities it was quite adequete if you were out and about and were only using the hotel to sleep in. Breakfast started early and filled you up if you had to leave early.Overall a no thrills hotel which is reflected in the price and was chosen in preference to travel lodge in Reading which was more expensive without breakfast included. A little noisy at night time due to poor insulation of walls. While bathroom was clean and large, shower was not good with pressure poor.

Pleasant friendly staff. on-site free parking, free wi-fi and a good location. Very uncomfortable bed, tiny room, pathetic shower and tiny towels that were only slightly larger than my handkerchief. Also breakfast is not served until 08.30 which is too late for me. I left at 07.45 and ate at a diner.

The location to my wirk destination. The tired decoration and poor cleanliness of the room. Couldn't open the shower door. Access to the room was through a very narrow door half blocked by a vending machine. This made carrying suitcase very difficult. Noise travelled easily so when someone was doing bed room olympics during the night it was very difficult to sleep. The person on reception was not very concerned when I complained and the manager wasnt available by phone or until later in the morning. Most unsatisfactory and I would suggest Booking.com remove this place from their website.

I am sorry to say it was a very bad experience, the electrcity went out, the room was not clean, I am covered in bites. The shower was grotty, and who knows what the marks on the wall were. The sheets were not changed during my stay nor the towels. I still have bite marks all over me - it was extremely depressing.

Friendly helpful staff, clean pleasant rooms. Close location to Reading town centre. The shower in my room went hot and cold alternately every minute or so, which was a little challenging, but good for waking me up after a night out!

The hotel was very clean. The staff were really friendly and helpful which is in contradiction to some of the previous reviews. The breakfast was great. Good juice, good cereal, great cooked breakfast and good toast. Great coffee. Also security good. Had a tv in my room. Compared to some hostels I've stayed in this was a palace. The fact that I had to share the bathroom with a few other people and there was only a bath and no shower. Maybe there should be more bathrooms and a shower. Also, the lock was broken on the toilet door.

Location only, close to town centre, nothing else. This is a b&b wanna be hotel. Staff was rude and have poor English skills (they we're unable to understand what cot is not to explain why there is no heating or why you have to give personal details (passport# or car registration)). Rooms are small (big rooms divided to two small ones to have more rooms) and cold (heating was on for 1-2 hours and then off during the night, we used bathroom as a refrigerator). Walls are thin (you could hear neighbor snorring) and loud doors and floors (sooo squeaky). Not recommended for family at all, especially with a baby.

We constantly had to ask for the central heating to be switched on.i would suggest chrging a couple of pounds more per night for the room so as to be warm when you come in from the cold outside we came in on the satarday asked for the heating to be turned on.we changed our clothes then went out for food.came back half an hour later. The heating had been switched off.i find this ridiculous.i would never stay there again yours e quinn

Comfortable room, although small. . Bathroom and room very clean. Breakfast very good. Not too far away from city and had free car park. Ok for one night, had to go to visit daughter in unniversity. Too far to walk into town, cabs £5-£6 each way. One night is enough, quite expensive really for such basic accomodation.

Nothing. My single room was ridiculously minute, the bed terribly uncomfortable and the carpet looked worn and filthy. There was a gouge in the wall where the door had banged it, I couldn't get the tv to work and the shower was both stone cold and the soap dispenser wa empty.
