Good layover hotel
Excellent check in and service, modern room, but the bed was overly firm and small. Breakfast, when included in the room, is great.

Excellent weekend stay
Easy on-line check-in, friendly greeting by reception staff, spacious and comfortable bed and ideal bathroom facilities. Excellent breakfast, and more friendly service from the breakfast room ‘host’; a far better experience than many ‘superior’ hotels we’ve stayed at. Hotel well-situated for shops, restaurant, bars and public transport.

a simple, OK hotel for the price.
small room (but nice for shorter trips), VERY friendly and helpfull staff, the breakfast buffet was quite nice: there was a bit of everything :-)
Cleaning... well... while I was trying to look for something I thought I lost in the room I found (i) a (thankfully) unused condom between the mattresses and (ii) a pill on the floor below the bed. The part underneath the faucet handle was also a bit sticky when I first "moved in".

Not enough staff on, my kettle was so dodgy had to fiddle with it to get it working, bathroom needs a better clean as lots of hard water marks, food selection was poor, tv didn’t connect to phone, staff was to busy to help!!

Pleasant stay
Hotel was clean, and fresh, with a presentable reception area. Rooms were adequate and comfortable though the bathroom was a little strange and basic.
Unfortunately only one lift was in use throughout our stay which meant longer waits on an upper floor and the card system didn't always work but overall was in a good location and easy access to local restaurants and station. Shame about the down and outs loitering in the local area.

Clean, tidy and up to date room. Decent tv. Shower was old and pretty much useless. Not too noisy despite city centre location and very close to the train station/food options.

Very satisfactory- room clean and a good size. Comfortable bed. One of the lifts was not working so that slowed things down but hotel is located very close to the railway station so easy to walk there and to the large pedestrian area of Reading
