Do not stay here!
Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The sponge mattress had a large lump missing, dirt up the walls. The walls are so thin that getting any sleep is difficult. I could hear everything happening in the next room. The shared bathroom was new, have to wait a while for the hot water and was the nicest part of the stay.

Not a good experience
The shared bathroom was new, have to wait a while for the hot water, but was a spacious bathroom. The sponge mattress had a large lump missing, dirt up the walls. The walls are thin. You can hear everything happening in the next room.

basic single room that needs attention
hand basin in room from day one, was not functioning /draining efficiently. Also, I had to repair the tv ariel to obtain a signal and adjust colour/contrast to get a decent picture.

basic, moldy, no frills, no breakfast.
Greeting was not very friendly, " what do you want " then we got room 13! don't believe the pictures you see on the website, part of the hotel may have been upgraded but our room was very basic, it needed some fresh paint, Mold was on the walls and the bathroom so old and mold everywhere and very cold, no bathroom sundries accept a soap bar. not felt you wanted to use it, bathroom door handle also got stuck too. NO BREAKFAST !!! the only good points was TV, Tea and Coffee machine, bed comfy, heated towel rail.! and free parking!

Be warned!
We arrived at hotel, having booked months ago with 'pay at hotel' option. The owner proceeded to tell us the booking had been cancelled with no warning or advance email and that he would do us a favour and give us another room (only 1 left) at a higher cost! We had no other options so had to do this. Im pretty sure this type of thing will happen again so have asked hotels.com to investigate. With reading fc playing later costs were now higher and he knew he would get more money from bookings.

Cheap, cheerful and comfy if a little tired
I needed a comfy affordable room for a 1 night stay in Reading and in that respect it ticket all the boxes for my requirement. Comfy enough bed for an average sized bloke, not the softest but perfectly fine, good supply of tea and coffee although could have done with a couple more milks as I like my tea a little milkier than average. Its a shared bathroom so its only going to be as clean as the left person left it so you kind of expect the odd hair but it was fine for me, ive used festival toilets and showers and if coped with them I can more than cope with this. The place is a little tired but its an old building. One notable point to make on the furnishings was the mirror was attached to the wall with glue and sealant and it was a shocking job with gobs of it everywhere. It really doesnt take 2 minutes to smooth out the sealant so that is just laziness and it really let the room down for something to easy to avoid. So 3/5, far from Buckingham Palace, but cheap and cheerful and £27 for a single room is a great price to be fair.

The hotel is definetely a bit shabby and down-at-heel, but it is clean and the staff friendly. Although it was a shared bathroom this was not a problem. The shower was surprisingly strong and as hot as i needed. The room was small but the matress on the bed was very comfortable. If you're happy with cheap but clean then I'd recommend it. I'd stay again

Very poor experience, cannot recommend
Worst hotel experience of my life. This is an outright scam. Nothing like the pictures. Place is filthy, dirty and in a poor state of disrepair. Recommend you avoid at all cost.

Bad condition. No soundproof at all. For two nights I was hearing some weird groaning from the person staying next door.
I did not know that the Room I was going to stay at is not en-suite.
Dusty and old carpets. Moulds on the wall. The doors were in bad condition.
Had to change to TravelLodge for my 3rd night

Halfway house for the underworld!
Pretty sure the place was a halfway house for the underworld! Shower was broken. Toilet was broken. No staff to be seen. Stunk of cannabis. People running up and down the stairs into the early hours and banging doors and shouting. Moved a bed to retrieve a dropped item and the wall was covered in mould. Pretty sure behind there hadn’t seen a hoover in a decade. Beds were so uncomfortable the floor would have been more inviting if it hadn’t been covered in suspicious stains. I could go on and on!!! Disgusting excuse for a hotel

Clean Bed Sheets.......and thats it
The bed was nice with fresh sheets and the bathroom was nice and clean apart from broken tap. We were lucky to have the double with en-suite, other rooms had a shared bathroom. Manky carpets, dirty walls, mouldy ceiling. Noisy. I know its a cheap hotel but wasnt dirt cheap.

This room was simple, but clean and the shower was good. The owner gave me an upgrade so that I did not have to share a bathroom. For the price, it exceeded my expectations.

It's cheap and adequate, beds are comfortable enough; however, the wifi wasn't good enough to stream TV which when is pretty essential to pass time when working away from home.
