Bad experience
Breakfast was terrible. Rooms, floors and overall hotel was dirty and almost falling apart. Dont be fooled by the nice facade. Rooms are small and dark. Blinds and Windows didn't work properly. Continental Breakfast is on a first come first served basis. Everything is plastic packed stuff and coffee is not prepared fresh. Staff is nice but rarely present. Cooked breakfast isn't worth it.

Dirty room!
We stayed in Room 410. The carpet looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a week. The bathroom sink was also dirty. We have stayed in this hotel several times and this will be the last time as the room was unclean.

The rooms didn't have air-condition and it was so hot and no air coming in as the windows are broken. The sheets had some hair on them. The staff were very friendly and helped as much as they could by changing our room, although the second room was hot as well.

It's been blazing hot in the UK recently, and our room had neither air conditioning nor a window screen, so our only option was a fan. Sometime in the middle of the night, I said phooey to potential mosquitoes or burglars and opened our window wide just to survive. The breakfast was fantastic, though, and the property is cute.

Family room needs a new bathroom
I have stayed at this hotel several times over the past few years as it is very close to my daughters’ University campus and was therefore very convenient. I have either stayed in the main hotel or next door annexe. This time I visited with my family and there were 4 of us, so we stayed in their larger family room on the ground floor in the main hotel building. The main bedroom was nice and clean, however the bathroom was extremely tired looking and in desperate need of a refurbishment. An old bathtub, badly lit with old yellow fluorescent lighting, it was really depressing. It’s obvious that the main bedroom was renovated but they omitted to also do the bathroom.

Great location for central Reading fast , 15/20mibs to Station via frequent bus service that stops close by . Couple of nights fine if you are at party/ wedding locally or use as a base to visit London - 25 mins to Paddington. Room / Price fair , bathroom small but quite new and clean, fridge, microwave fine . Safety box in the room . Outside of the hotel is tired and annex entrance could do with tidying up - weeds growing on steps , lots of cigarette ends , litter in garden We did not use the breakfast on offer so canno comment on this

Avoid: Total shambles at check-in
Checked in and was shown to my room by reception staff using my card key. Dropped my belongings in the room. Came back after dinner with a colleague to find the card key not working. After contacting reception, it turns out that I had been put in the wrong room and they had let the actual occupant into the room with all my belongings!!! Reception staff had to knock on the door and I had to remove everything that was mine quickly from the room with the other chap present, including clothes hung up in the wardrobe and other bits and pieces scattered around the room. Luckily nothing was missing. Was offered a quick apology and nothing else beyond that. Stayed two nights. On the following day, my room card key stopped working again. Reported to reception and said firmly that I hoped I wasn't double booked again and he just laughed! Room quality was slightly below average. Bathroom tired, but bedding and carpets clean. Paid nearly £90 per night including breakfast which was the same price as another hotel I have stayed in elsewhere in Reading, with a modern room double the size, everything working and breakfast included. Breakfast was average, probably not worth the extra cost. Didn't sleep well due to the above events and won't ever be staying again!!
