The hotel is conveniently located, about a 4 to 5-minute walk from Reading train station. However, the hotel is generally quite old, and many facilities are in need of maintenance. The shower temperature was very difficult to control, and the fridge wasn't working properly. The room itself was spacious, and the price was more affordable compared to hotels in London. Breakfast was excellent value for money at just £13, with a wide variety of food options. The staff were friendly and very willing to help.

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 hotel doesn't have air conditioning. My stay was uncomfortable, especially when trying to sleep. It was a very hot week.

We stayed here for a diving competition locally and can’t fault this hotel for value for money! The room was a decent size and spotlessly clean. The breakfast was decent enough and lots of choice. The staff were very attentive and I can’t believe we only paid £58 for the 3 of us with breakfast included! And there’s a pool, gym and sauna included in that price! Reading town is a bit rough but if you need to be central it’s right by the high street and town centre, so very easy

This hotel is centrally located, right next to the promenade and the train station. The rooms are small, but they have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Breakfast is good, and the staff are incredibly friendly!

Location- was walkable from station, town centre, Oracle shopping centre which has Vue and Bowling Service- Staff were very friendly. Toni, Nicola, Daniel- were fab. They helped me store my special medication. They have facility for keeping luggage after checkout which was very helpful Amenities- Swimming pool, steam, sauna, gym onsite with full access with room booking. Towels available at no extra cost at the facilities. The showers were broken/ no hot water. So we used room showers for bath after using the these services. Room- was beautiful and clean with lovely large screen smart tele. There was a locker and small mini fridge in the room with tea/coffe bar, iron with iron board, hair dryer. They also provide tap water from front desk for tea etc. There was a bath and shower both! The toilet and bath did not have locks- but I was in with my kids- so worked fine. One bedside light switch was broken- but didn’t need to use this. The room temp was rather warm- front seat kindly lent us a big table fan- which was very helpful. They have bar and restaurant- we didn’t need to use these. The
