Unfortunately, the rooms aren’t soundproof at all. You can easily hear people talking, phones ringing, and doors opening and closing next door. It gets really annoying and makes it hard to relax.

Large ground floor Club room at front of the building, parking area outside large windows was noisy plus 24/7 lights from busy main road. Close to reception. Room a bit shabby but airy and warm from easily controlled radiators. Comfortable clean beds. Very small shower and toilet - could do with updating. Toilet seat was loose, needs repair, could be hazardous for older person like me. Reception staff were very helpful and friendly on aŕrival, showed me a couple of rooms but the lift was not working so couldn't look upstairs. Buffet breakfast choices excellent, cereals, fruits, yoghurt, toast etc.juices, tea, coffee, oatmilk. Full English 😋 freshly cooked.

You get what you pay for

Ultimately you get what you pay for. I stayed in room 200. The room was clean and the bed comfortable but overall the decor was dated. Not a problem for me as I was only staying 1 night. One think it is lacking is a bedside table which was annoying but not a major issue. This is an excellent location if you are visiting your child at Reading University (as I was) because it is a 15 minute walk, or 5 minute drive away. There are all the amenities you need. Kettle, fridge, microwave, plates, bowls, cutlery and a hairdryer. I didnt have the breakfast so I can't comment on that.

Overall wonderful experience, all staff I encountered were courteous and helpful. Room was clean and fresh, bed comfortable and all linens smelled delightful! Located on a bus route, easy walk into town Centre, various shops/eateries a few minutes walk away from hotel. I will definitely stay there again.

Beautiful building in quiet residential area, close to Reading University. 5 minutes walk to Tesco Express. The free parking space is ample. The staff are excellent. The breakfast is surprisingly good. Only the room is basic. There is a damp smell. Had to leave windows open to air it.

Very busy car park on a Saturday night. Clean room though decor a bit dated. Mould in corner of bathroom ceiling and bath plug drained very slowly. Comfy beds which were nice and firm. Fridge, microwave, plates and cutlery provided. Could hear traffic noise from the room. Got the room at a very reasonable price so will consider again in future.
