Lawrence, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff very friendly, hotel clean, nice clean rooms, easy access to the town centre and railway station. Room was very warm ( due to warm weather) but fans were provided.
Neil, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel is OK

The hotel was good, clean and comfortable, but noisy because of a Karioke club on Tuesday nights. There is no sign of eco awareness and indeed, coffe/tea was served in platic cups; not very good at all.
Sophie, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Did not sleep a wink but good service

The service was really good however the beds were so uncomfy and I didn’t sleep at all. Also the toilets are so loud that everytime someone in the above room flushed or showered it was super super loud. Pls replace the beds! The location and service was good overall.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Attentive and friendly staff. Historic building, lots of character. Breakfast was croissants, muffins, toast, juice and great strong coffee! The bed was huge and comfy, no street noise. Close to restaurants in town. Definitely recommend this hotel, it’s different and quirky with a big personality.
Geoff, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

While the hotel is older, the rooms are spacious, the people are so helpful with bringing bags early, nice check-in etc. the restaurant is great and breakfast is free. Very nice all round!
John, 1-night trip

Good, spacious room and excellent value. Great location.
Carly, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Could be better

Friendly place but woke up at 3am with maintenance on a ladder trying to fix something, tv didnt work so changed room's and then half hour later asked to change again. Hair gel under bed wasnt mine and cleanliness definitely not great. Good location if you are parking a van though as carpark with no height restriction close.
Dave, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was easy to access. Friendly workers

Quaint little hotel with comfortable rooms.
Daniel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good value abd close to town
Hayley, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room needs updating especially as it states a superior double, obviously it's not checked over properly... Toilet didn't flush, ok if you had a wee, but a no.2, you'd be in trouble.remote for TV needs new a battery. Smells musty.
Lynn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
David, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Awful hotel

Filthy hotel ending up leaving and paying for rooms elsewhere. Very run down and manager unavailable to resolve ussues
Claire, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is very close to Reading town centre and train station, so staying here was very convenient. The staff were friendly and responsive to our needs. The bed was soft, and the shower was powerful. The location is difficult to access by car, however, on account of the UK's bizarre addiction to one-way streets.
Robert, 10-night trip

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.
Greg, 2-night trip

Mark, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Cheap

Friendly reception, even though I was late. Room was filthy, as was the en-suite. Carpet hadn’t been hoovered and there was no spoons to stir a hot drink.
