pentahotel Reading Centre

The room was very "state of the art" with superb lighting and bathroom facilities were top notch.

The parking facilties were horendous for me as I had hired a high vanwith roof bars which I could have had taken off (or given an alternative van) if I had known about the car park which did not accept high vehicles. I spent a good 3/4 of an hor trying to find a car park and eventually had to park in the only space outside the hotel. The guy at reception wasnt very helpfull (probably not his fault) and couldnt tell me wearelse to park. If the one space hadnt been available I might have been driving around reading yet! The second night I had to park on the street about half a mile away and had to shift the van by 8 in the morning. All this hastle mared my stay somewhat.

The locallity.

I didn't like the fact that there were no heavy curtains at the window, so we had light pouring in all night.

The Hotel is good, the location is great for shopping and lounges are great to relax.

The only gripe I have is there is no porridge and fresh eggs for breakfast and a choice of fish would be great breakfast.

rooms ,tv beds, great

Really clean and comfortable rooms , excellent facilities and helpful staff.

rooms were very comfortable as was the hotel itself. Very clean and pleasant staff. very relaxing

the breakfast was a bit cold and we couldn't fine any menu for the restuarant - only the room service menu.

Comfortable and very good value for money

Ease of checking in, provision of rooms early because needed to change for a wedding.

No car park, reduced cost parking next door.

Rooms very nice. Helpful and friendly staff.

Drinks very expensive. Leak around sink

The new decor from what it was previously is much improved. The staff are very helpful when asking any questions. The bed is a fantastic size and comfortable and the room did not have any external or internal noise issues.

The room was far too hot and the air con didn't work very well. The TV wouldn't turn on and the hot water wasn't exactly hot, more warm if anything. Check in was rushed and we weren't told anything about breakfast times etc. The vending machine prices are very overpriced. £1 for a can of coke is daylight robbery. Being situated on Oxford Road you get the smackheads and drunkards begging for anything once you pop out for a cigarette. Worst of all is that you have to pay for parking as spaces are very limited at the hotel.

I liked it's location which is close to the main shopping area, train station, bus and all the restaurants around.

lovely large and comfortable bed and good shower

maids came to service room at 10 am but because we were not ready the room didnt get done.considering breakfast was on until 11am this seemed a bit contradictory.

The "newness" - I believe it has been recently refurbished and therefore is not looking at all tired. Great bathroom and size of bed (king room)
