Stayed 1 night for business. Good central location within easy walking distance of Reading train station. Hotel has quite a bit of character; it’s an old building so expect a few creaking floorboards but nothing that kept me awake at night. Room was spacious and clean with the usual facilities. I didn’t eat in either of the attached restaurants but... more

Located right in the centre of Reading, the hotel is definately a great place to stay if you're going to be working or even visiting anything near the centre. It's not your average, sterile high rise style hotel. Its got a lot of character as its an older building. Having said that the rooms can be a little hard to... more

Located near to the main shopping streets of Reading. Maintenance of rooms are good. Recommended to stay more

Very centrally located but out of date. First night ate in the restaurant, very attractively decorated but absolutely freezing so the staff kindly offered to bring in portable radiators. Meal ok but worse when I found a hair in the vegetables. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room small, large bathroom, looks like its been decorated recently. Very noisy though.... more

I have had the misfortune of staying at this hotel (not by choice) through work for four weeks most recently in January 2009. The facilities are very poor. The heating is rarely on even in the depths of winter. The fire alarm went off twice whilst I was there and the staff have no idea what to do - dangerous???... more
