We stay here quite regularly. Centrally located. Carpet in room needs a good clean & some wine marks on the walls can do with a wipe down

Good location, large and comfortable room but average service.
Reception staff were rude and claiming they couldn’t find my reservation even though they’d found it 5minutes earlier to let me into the (expensive) gated car park.

Ideal town location - close to train station - centre restaurants- breakfast opens at 06:30. Staff very helpful

Took 20 mins to check-in as my booking couldn’t be found.
Then on the morning of check-out, no hot water for a shower.
I have emailed the hotel directly, but have not received a response.

Hotel is conveniently located in centre, room was comfortable. Breakfast is good.
Parking available at extra charge and needs to be pre-booked over phone. Our pre-booking seemed to have been lost but luckily they had spaces that night.
1.5
The hotel is very well located, rooms are clean and comfortable and the spa facilities are pretty good considering the price of rooms.
Breakfast was poor though, probably the worst hotel breakfast I've ever had unfortunately. Fruit and cereal section looked okay but I was having a fry up, which was all cold and tasteless (apart from the bacon which was just really salty)

The staff were amiable and helpful, making my stay and check out straightforward.

It took me 3 attempts to find a room that did not have a problem. The lock on the door of the first room did not work and it would not open. The staff changed me to another room - the desk light in the second room did not work properly and it would randomly flicker on and off - also, when off, one could hear the mains power crackling which, to me, is a dangerous fire hazard. The final, 3rd room was okay, it worked okay but had a very dirty and stained carpet - it too me over an hour to get to this point. The Reception Staff did try to help as best they could but there was no one that could help them or me.
Breakfast the next day was poorly serviced. I got to breakfast at 9:15am and found - no scrambled egg, no black pudding, no bacon, no beans, orange juice dispenser finished, no smoked salmon. To give them their due, the staff, when I mentioned these, made great efforts to fix these problems.
My summary is that the hotel is in a good location but it is in serious need of refurbishment. Add to this, it was apparent that the hotel was seriously understaffed with friendly and helpful staff members doing the best that they could manage with no available resource. Everyone did the best that they could.

Housekeeping walked in on me just after I had got out the shower and was naked in the room. They had allegedly got the wrong room.
I would not trust the staff at this hotel.

Limited menu at hotel and expensive breakfast

The room was large, bright and very confortable. The bathroom however: There was a shower cabin with no water. The sink wasn't flushing, leaving all the disgusting soap deposits accumulate on the sink. The tub had a shower head but no shower curtain. The shower head mounting was in a place where it was extremely difficult to extract it from. If not extremely careful showering in the tub results in a bathroom floor flooding. At the price you are well advised to look somewhere else for accommodation.

Don't let the surrounding area put you off it is very convenient and a very clean and tidy hotel. The breakfast was surprisingly good

Overall the hotel is what it is and there were no surprises - it was comfortable and worked well for my circumstances. The town and rail station were in close proximity to the hotel so it was in a good place for business or tourists.
1.5
Everywhere other than the rooms were nice and clean. The first executive room had no power so was moved to another executive room. Both rooms were outdated, dirty and had no air conditioning. The toilet is in its own tiny room with no hand basin so you have to move to another room to wash your hands. The decor and furnishings are warn and dirty. The bed has a socket and USB outlets on one side only. The pillows were clumpy. I had to ask reception at 2am for a fan as the room was unbearably hot. For the price, the product is awful and needs a renovation. But the staff were nice.

Disappointed to find out on arrival that the pool and sauna was closed for maintenance. This is the only reason I booked this hotel. Also, the Guinness is the disgusting, stay clear of that.

Booked up 5 days in advance and choose this hotel because of the facilities like swimming pool sauna, and the morning before I was due to check in they emailed saying all of them facilities was closed as I was working that day it didn’t give me a chance to look for another hotel.
Plus my plug in the sink was also broken I did inform them straight away but it was never fixed

Great location for Reading, though the local area is a bit noisy at night. Ok rooms, nice staff.
Shame about the pool being closed and annoying fire alarm issue for a few hours one day.
