    This place suits me perfectly with excellent wi-fi, 24-hour reception, and a bar area. The staff helped me find a place to exchange money during my first stay. I recommend it for anyone visiting. I'll be back for Christmas!

    The air conditioning was ineffective, making the room uncomfortably warm.

    comfy room
    great breakfast
    convenient location
    insufficient towels

    Had an awesome group vacation with friends! We visited The Madejski Stadium to catch a game and spent a fun day checking out nearby shops. The location was super convenient, and our room was comfy and clean. The breakfast spread was great, served until noon, which was perfect for us. Highly recommend this spot!

    The only downside was the need for extra towels in the room. just having one per person made things a bit tricky after handwashing.

    mouth-watering tapas
    cheeky pizza
    excellent shower pressure
    dodgy nighttime vibes
    confusing parking situation

    Oh mate, if you're a foodie, get yourself to the nearby Revolucion de Cuba for some banging tapas, or check out Nando's for that cheeky peri-peri fix after a long day. Can't forget the 24-hour pizza option at the hotel – lifesaver! Perfect after a night out. the comfy bed was a nice touch, and that shower pressure? Absolutely top-notch!

    Just be a bit savvy and you'll be golden. The parking situation? A real head-scratcher with all the building work about.

    I loved the location, super convenient for bars and shops! The cleanliness of the room was appreciated, but I found the bathroom setup too basic. 😅 it was a good experience!

    friendly staff
    convenient location
    limited breakfast options

    We had a lovely stay here with our little dog, just a short walk from the Madejski Stadium, perfect for catching a match! The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the front desk staff always greeted us with a smile, making us feel at home.

    My wife says that the breakfast options could use more variety, especially for kids. A little more kid-friendly fare would have been great.

    easy access to parks and downtown attractions made my stay great

    My visit was delightful, especially with the lovely views from my room and a warm welcome from the receptionist who skillfully recommended must-see spots like St Laurence's Church just a few steps away. it's also great how I had quick access to parks and the vibrant city center for leisurely strolls.

    Great match for a whistle-stop in Reading with good value. The manager was nice enough to arrange a refund for our trouble with the interconnecting rooms. Make sure to confirm your room type in advance.

    cozy room
    convenient parking
    lack of usb outlets

    I truly enjoyed my stay here, especially the cozy Double Sweet Room which had everything I needed and the convenient half-price parking offered. The bar area was nice, and it was great to unwind by the lounge before hitting my favorite restaurant nearby. Just a heads-up, it would have been nicer if my room had USB charging outlets, but overall, I'd recommend it for a comfy stay! 😊

    Comfortable Stay with Helpful Staff

    I enjoyed my stay here, especially the team's assistance. Ines made check-in easy and even arranged a taxi for me. The spacious rooms were comfortable, and the lovely breakfast with local recommendations from Frederica elevated my mornings. A visit to the nearby riverside dining is a must!

    modern room
    welcoming staff
    comfortable beds
    noisy neighbors
    limited tea selection

    The location was perfect for our needs, being close to public transport and the shopping area. Our room was modern and tidy, equipped with all the essentials. Unfortunately, we had a noisy experience due to loud neighbors, but overall, the staff were welcoming and ensured a smooth check-in process. Despite some minor inconveniences, our stay was quite pleasant and we especially appreciated the comfortable beds.
