I stayed at the belle vue for approx 6 weeks 2nights a week whilst working in reading. I stayed and paid for a budget room which if I'm honest was pretty grim but where possible if there were rooms available the manager upgraded me to a higher priced room for free which were all ensuite and newly refurbished and very...

Had to come to reading for one night and for £40 I thought the Belle Vue would be adequate, but I was wrong! From the moment I walked in the door the manager would not stop complaining. Then my room...well you couldn't swing a cat in it! plaster was falling off the walls, literally - you could see bits of... More

rooms basic, and in need of refurbishment. However, very clean and pleasent stay. if you need somewhere that is cheap and cheerful to get your head down, and not too bothered about all the necessities that come with larger hotels, then i strongly reccomend this hotel. More

I would strongly advise Premier Inn, the manager "Bobby" wouldnt stop whinging and the whole place needs renovating!! Smelly yellow duvet and pillows yuk !! More

I found this place on laterooms for £30 with plenty of free parking (Reading Central Travelodge is fine but there's no parking)! Ok so the room... More

Pleasant, clean, comfortable and good location. Very slightly let down by the state of repair (e.g. could do with replacement door locks) but only a small gripe, and it's a nicer hotel than many of the chains. Good advance prices as well. More

I stayed at Belle Vue Hotel for 5 nights on Bed and Breakfast basis. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from Reading West station and about 10 minutes from Reading Town Centre. Check in was straightforward and I was given a room on the first floor. The room itself was not huge but adequate, the single bed was extremely... More

The manager is a gossip and at every opportunity to engage in a conversation would make derogatory remarks about her clients to the extent that I even thought about changing my hotel rather than face her in the mornings. The TV did not work properly in that there were very few channels and most were in black and white and... More
