Location: The hotel is excellently located, very close to the train station and city center, providing easy access to shops, restaurants, and transportation options. It's particularly convenient for commuting to places like Southampton and catching the Elizabeth Line to London and Oxford.(based on 45 reviews)

Room spacious and well-designed, but sad wear and tear. After long flight was looking forward to hot soak, but bath lever didn’t work and tub didn’t drain readily. Hand soap empty or dispenser didn’t work. Toilet door wouldn’t shut properly and ventilation didn’t work either - not a great combination. Reported all to reception but didn’t get the impression anyone cared. Guess they have a captive Heathrow audience.

The room wasn't huge, but the location in Reading is absolutely central! Turn left out of the hotel and walk straight for three minutes to reach the train station. Downstairs, you'll find convenience stores, a shopping center, cafes, and bars right on your doorstep. There are also Chinese, Korean, and Japanese supermarkets, Japanese restaurants, Vietnamese pho, Chinese, and Western restaurants – everything you could want! Plus, you can tap your card for 24-hour unlimited bus travel, which saved a lot of time and effort! Really loved it, thank you!

Staff are helpful. Location is very convenient to train station, shops and places of interest. Good selection of breakfast. Nice pool. Carpet in the room could do with a refresh. Aircon is not that cold. Sofa bed is springy but for the price and amenities it is ok. Overall good value and decent hotel.

Well, I can't knock the hotel itself location perfect, The rooms are really nice. People are really nice, but for amenities, the swimming pool was cold. It had a sauner that wasn't really hot. The steam room was okay. I didn't use the gym very empty and quite chilly, And Just be careful if you get the top floor rooms as there is a massive 5G tower right outside the window on the right hand side of building, which will affect your sleep I did ours until we see why tje next day, we had to change rooms for a lower floor, not same view from windon as top floor but a good nights sleep, no idea why a hotel would put a huge 5G microwave tower on its roof but there you go.
