Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room had only one bedside/table light, with a dodgy connection. This was fine as a single occupant who didn't want to use the desk anyways. Half the USB sockets didn't work either. Power sockets all very inconveniently positioned. Definitely not what I was expecting, given reputation and price, I was disappointed.
Absolutely fantastic service from reception who were attentive and professional in my requests. 10/10!
Hotel wise it’s your typical Malmaison dark chic and very contemporary. Location wise you couldn’t get any closer to the train station so for anyone needing to be close to the station please use this hotel!
Great location near the train station and town centre shops and bars. Beautiful room, nice and spacious. Little touches like ferrero rocher on arrival.
Used to be much better. Seen better days. Rooms felt dirty, smelled of awful cleaning product. Fabric headboard stank and you can't really open the windows. Bar and restaurant are redeeming features, but won't be back anytime soon.
A quick stop between work days the staff were friendly and accommodating. The room was clean, spaceous and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious with prompt service.
I have early stage arthritis in both hips and due to the customer lifts being out of order. Despite mentioning this to a member of staff at reception I had to struggle up three flights of stairs and the other stairs that were in place for five nights. On Tuesday evening one member of the reception staff accompanied me to the third floor in the staff lift but on all the other nights I had to struggle up the stairs as nobody seemed to be interested in helping me. I have therefore decided that I will not be using the Malmaison in future.
I chose the hotel for its convenience to the train station due to my condition.
Good location, very close to railway station and city center as Reading is not a big city at all. The hotel room is well equipped and clean, friendly staff.
While the bed is comfortable, feather down duvet is too much for summer nights. And last night was Euro final, you can hear all the sound outside till very late.
