Reading Hotels with Wifi

"🌟 **Highly Recommend! (4 Big Pros)** **Prime Location:** Only a 6-minute walk from Reading Station! This distance was a lifesaver for me, traveling with a whole family, big luggage, and three kids. **Suburban Hub:** It's just over 20 minutes by train to Oxford, and very close to the stunning Cotswolds. This is the perfect alternative to save on expensive London accommodation. **Amenities Galore:** Within walking distance of the hotel, you'll find local historical sites, museums, and several large parks, which are super convenient for letting the kids burn off energy. **Dream Trip Enabler:** The overall convenience made our dream European trip incredibly smooth; we could head out whenever we wanted. ⚠️ **Heads Up! (2 Cons/Challenges)** **Stairs – The Ultimate Boss (Top Floor Attic):** We happened to stay in the small attic room on the very top floor. While the natural light and space were cozy, we had to haul our large luggage all the way up to the 3rd floor (which in the UK feels like the 4th floor)! The stairs are numerous and narrow. If your luggage is too heavy, you'll seriously question your life choices. I highly recommend packing light if you stay here! **No Indoor Slippers Provided:** This hotel doesn't provide slippers (a common eco-friendly practice in old European hotels and B&Bs). If you're used to wearing slippers, remember to bring your own from Taiwan."

"Hi we just wanted a hotel within close distance of Reading town centre on a budget. It had all that we needed but could have done with air con. The staff were very accommodating and listened to any needs of customers."

"The Novotel Reading Centre is perfectly located in the heart of Reading, offering great convenience for dining, accommodation, and transportation. It's just a 3-minute walk to the train station, and equally close to museums, parks, the abbey, and supermarkets. The front desk staff were very welcoming and helpful. The swimming pool and gym are open daily from 10 AM to 10 PM. The housekeepers on our floor were very diligent and cleaned our room on time every day! Five-star rating! Thumbs up, thank you!"

"Nice hotel with helpful and friendly staff. Location is good, close to downtown. Environment is nicer than in the centre. Room is big too, simple breakfast but good enough."

"The reception lady was not very friendly when checked into the hotel, but the rest of the staff are very nice. The room looks dark and old. The shower switch fell out a few times when we tried to turn it on. The toilet got stuck easily. But the location was perfect, one minute walk from the train station."

"A great hotel, close to the motorway for the night before arriving at Heathrow for early morning flight. Only 3 days before arriving, I received an email stating that the car park for the night would be £7.50 for the night. Unfortunately none of this was mentioned in the booking, be aware that there is a car parking charge overnight"

"The room was a bit small and dim. We were just staying one night, arriving late and leaving early in the morning. The hotel exterior is very pretty, and there's plenty of parking. Inside, the corridors are winding, and the soundproofing isn't great."

"Lovely comfortable hotel, only drawback for us was that although they accept dogs (for which they charge quite a lot) there's nowhere to eat apart from the lobby, which is rather big and exposed, if you have the dog with you. Part of the dog policy is that they shouldn't be left alone in the room (that I agree with) but it left us having to go out of the hotel to eat at a local pub which was more dog friendly. Otherwise it was great, comfortable beds, good bathroom and a pleasant ambience, nice receptionists."

"I only stayed one night, so I can't say it was great or terrible, just okay. The room was generally spacious, and while it had been renovated, many of the facilities were still mediocre. For example, there were only bedside lamps and no main light, making the room quite dim. There was no remote control, so I couldn't watch TV. Opening the door was also a bit inconvenient. I specifically requested no corner room in my reservation notes, but as expected, I was still given a corner room on the second floor. Since the price was relatively cheap, I guess it's understandable they didn't follow the request. If you're looking for something better, you might want to look elsewhere. This is just for your reference."

"I had a very nice 2 night stay. The room is a bit dated, but it was clean and comfortable. Everything worked well, from the shower temperature and pressure, to good wifi. The staff was friendly, available and efficient. Unfortunately I did not have time for breakfast which was included, so cannot talk of that, but it was just a 13 min walk to a shoppmall with a big supermarket. There was a big car park, if you drive, but I came by bus from Reading Railway Station and found it a short walk from the stop on arrival and for returning to Reading the bus stop was just in front of the hotel."
