I can't review this hotel simply due to the room noise from the nearby freeway. My room was on the first floor facing the road and it seemed like I was at the races. All the other features aside, the most important task of a hotel is a good nice sleep and it was difficult given the noise. That said,... More

We were in Reading again, so another opportunity to stay at the Penthotel! Once again I carefully trawled the numerous hotel booking websites till I found one with breakfast included and sub £60. The Oxford Road side of the hotel is of course noisy, but with the window shut it soon gets to be background noise. The AirCon however still... More

It's a strange one, this. The building itself is a carbuncle on the face of an already unattractive town, but inside, first impressions are good. It maybe tries a little too hard to come across as "cool" or "trendy", but scratch beneath the surface and it doesn't take long to find the corners that were cut. On entering the room,... More

My experience of this hotel was not good and would not recommend. I've read the other reviews which seem good but don't be fooled. Hotel standards have moved on and this hotel has not. At check in I asked for a high level quite room - the high room I got , tranquility I did not!!. The room on arrival... More

Stayed here on business for three nights and found it to be generally very acceptable. The bedrooms were good and well appointed: the bed had a memory foam mattress and very nice soft pillows. Wifi was available free (as it should be in every hotel but you had to log back on every half hour for some silly reason). The... More

Went here for a last minute 2 night break with my boyfriend to escape our hectic lives.Bargain only paid £62 for 2 nights. Room and hotel were just as in the pictures, staff were very friendly and helpful overall atmosphere was great. Didnt eat there so cant comment on food. No onsite parking but you get a discount with the... More

Excellent location (close to rail station), free WiFi throughout whole hotel, (30 minutes limites, but you only need to log-off and log-in again), very helpful staff, clean, modern room, good food for breakfast ( a lot of choices)...

This was my second time at Penta and it really is a very unique experience. The hotel lobby looks and feels like a disco, complete with the mirrored ball. The staff is friendly enough and the location is walkable to the Oracle and the downtown restaurants. The rooms have a usb and hdmi chargers, which is nice, but it does... More

Well decorated hotel with friendly staff. Parking is very close by and the staff let me park outside the entrance while I checked in. I had a room at the back of the hotel - not much of a view but absolutely no road noise. I didn't have much luck with the heating or cooling system - it didn't seem... More
