Lovely hotel in the centre of Reading, with excellent customer service. The wheelchair accessible room was perfect for my needs. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. This hotel will be a regular place for us to stay when in the Reading area going forward. Highly recommended!

I arrived on a Saturday. It was quite noisy, both around the property and other occupants on my floor-I was on the 3rd floor. Seems like a lot of locals hang out at the bar, and end up in the rooms? There is not a landline phone in the rooms, and no washcloths. Very scarce room. OK for the discounted price but I don’t think I’d be back on the regular room rate. Breakfast was good - the basic Continental breakfast fare.
