    I had the double room which was spotless and huge with a comfortable bed. The breakfast was good, for vegetarians and reasonably priced. As for me, the location was marvellous, close enough to the downtown and the Train Station and the rail stations.

    Excellent shower pressure made for a refreshing experience.

    The breakfast buffet was poorly managed with unclean tables and lack of supplies.

    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, 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.
