10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable and affordable
Well laid out room with cosy vibes, very relaxing. Helpful team at reception and nice and close to the centre of town. Well-sealed windows that keep the noise out, which is always important to me. The lift wasn't active when I visited, but I had small wheeled luggage so no problems.

Good Hotel
We have been here before, this time we paid for a better room and it was loads better. If we are in Reading again we will use this Hotel.

6/10 Good

Cleanliness the only issue
Location was excellent for access to the town centre and public transport. Check in was straightforward. The room was very basic, as expected so no problem, but concerned about the cleanliness when my tea cup was stuck to the saucer (face down) and was dirty, and a big clump of hair on the floor outside the shower. Single bed, comfy enough

Nice staff. My Room was massive and very clean. Nice bed. Very tired decor though. bathroom clean but even more tired. Hotel really needs an upgrade. Has the potential to be somewhere special but needs work.

Stuart, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall a good stay for the price. Staff were friendly however announced our room number out loud upon check in - which is unsafe for two women travelling. Room was nice and spacious, shower was good as well. Our room however had some industrial-sounding drilling/humming noise on and off all night. Unsure if this was the building next door or the hotel itself. If you want a short trip on a budget I would recommend. However if you’re travelling solo might be unsafe as they like announcing your room number out loud.
