Lovely reception area and bar - as is with a lot of hotels … rooms are tired and need updating ! Shower needs new grouting and carpets need updating. Breakfast was buffet style.

Nice solo stay

Nice location, would be nicer if they advised you which car park is their concession car park before you get there. Lots of takeaways nearby, and shopping centre next door. Room was clean, and plenty of pub games in the foyer to play.

Martin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Noisy of you have the wrong room!

Ask for a room at the back of the hotel. The traffic noise was horrendous. Air conditioning is lousy and you have to have the windows open if it’s very hot. It’s like sleeping in the central reservation.
Paul, 2-night trip

Couples stay away

Lovely interior with spacious rooms with everything you could need for a 2 nights stay, only complaint is the noise outside the hotel if you leave the window open due to being on the high street but cant fault the hotel for that one. Would recommend to anyone staying in reading
