“Good place to stay in Reading”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • penta Standard Room
- • Stayed 6 nights
눉Wi-Fi is patchy at best with dubious security certification - iphones will not connect. I used a laptop to override rejection of security certification (risky and not recommended) and was able to connect. Signal strength was poor and dropped off frequently.
눇Clean spacious Room, great location next to main shopping area and eating places, not overcrowded and good service. Hotel has airconditioning and this a facility summer visitors may appreciate since few hotels in this area have airconditioning

눉Thought I'd booked a bath but didn't realise you had to request that specially as only 3 rooms have one. A pool would have topped it off nicely.
눇Great style to the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. We booked club room, which was really nice. The bed was HUGE and good electronic facilities to the tv etc including convenient plugs, USB, hdmi and audio input sockets. Wifi was good enough to stream tv/films if you gave it a few mins to buffer at the start. Good location with a short walk into the centre. Overall very impressed and it would be first choice if I was looking for city centre stop again.

“Worth a read for people who are planning to take a car... ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • penta Standard Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉The biggest downfall is the PARKING! It costs £10 each night to park and if like me you are planning to check in and then adventure around in the car, then you have to pay additional money ontop of that. So if you are planning to drive and adventure... plan to pay atleast £15-£20 for your parking (maybe even more). Although there is one way to get around the parking and that is to park, keep your car in the carpark for 10 hours... pay the £10 and then adventure out... then make sure you are back in time so you have parked for 10 hours so you only pay another £10... But if you are not botherd about adventuring and just need the car to get you to the hotel then you will be fine... just note it is £10 a night... otherwise there is a station that is only a 10 minute walk away..
눇I loved the hotels facilities, the room is decorated beautifully, there are free mini soaps as well as a dressing gown ans slippers. In addition to the lovely customer service! I must also add if you are checking out on the Sunday then you get to check out at 3pm... Yes 3pm... so for anyone booking a hotelfor the purpose of going out clubbing and then going to bed only a stones throw away from the clubs, then this is the hotel for you, as you can lay in bed crying over your hang over for 3 more hours then most other hotels.

- • Solo traveler
- • penta Standard Room

눉I thought all rooms were non-smoking but I was put in a smoking room because the hotel was full, even though I had booked 6 weeks in advance. I didn't like the large TV in the bar showing football.
눇The hotel has a really cool interior decor and the rooms were spacious and funky. The food was good.

“Useless Internet connection - AVOID THIS HOTEL!”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • penta Standard Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Internet. The only Internet that the hotel provides is a lousy 0.25/0.15 Mpbs connection that is useless for even reading e-mail. That's a disgrace! We live in 21st century, not 17th. Internet connection is as important as electricity or hot water, for example. If you need Internet, AVOID THIS HOTEL, you will just get frustrated and you won't get your job done. I was here on business, and I could do no business from the hotel.
눇Staff was really friendly, reception and lobby area is cozy.

눉View from room. Reception staff appeared to be inexperienced, but we all have to learn. Were not told when booking that we could have free parking at another nearby location, so voucher offered was of no use.
눇Not too far from station to London. Parking in shopping centre quite close.

눉Only minor downfall is parking is a short walk away (a couple of minutes) which isn't great with British rainy weather and lots of bags... but you get discount from the hotel which makes up for it!
눇The staff were amazing, and the facilities were just incredible! From the decor in the lobby and entrance, to the lay-out of the bedroom it was gorgeous.
