Very good hotel the management are very friendly and the rooms are clean and tidy. The breakfast is good with a variety of choices. They will supply you with plates cutlery and the use of there microwave if you fancy a takeaway which is good when your working away from home on a budget.

Room was clean but the common areas of the hotel are in need of repair. They are continuing to charge rates that more up-to-date hotels charge. They could also do with some new towels, ones that aren't paper thin.

Based on the rate we paid as well as the old hit&miss reviews, we were not expecting much but we were very pleasantly surprised.

One person said it was in the Red Light District although we didn't see evidence of this. No lift to the top floor. The room... More

Myself and a business colleague stayed here during the week of the 9th July for 4 nights, an unfortunate choice forced upon us due to a shortage of accomodation Despite the glossy photographs depicted, the place is less than adequate. It has seen a change of ownership which has certainly had a detrimental impact. The rooms are not of a... More

The service and friendliness of the staff really made the stay feel hospitable and professional. The rooms were were large, clean and came with all the facilities expected. Breakfast was served with a wide variety of choice and to good standard. All in all I would really recommend this hotel, ignore the terrible ratings they are not representative of the... More

I stayed here on business in Feb 2012 mainly due to the location. On arrival, the hotel is not the most attractive and is in one of Readings less upmarket areas. Reception was quick and efficient and I was shown to my room. The public areas in this hotel are tatty and I did start to think I had made... More
