My family and I visiting Reading for a family wedding. We wanted a hotel that was near transportation and had an excellent rating. Malmaison did not disappoint. The staff friendly and fabulous. The rooms large, immaculate and comfortable. Can we talk about location…perfect if you want to jump on a train to visit anywhere in England (which we did). Don’t let the hustle and bustle of the train station scare you because once you walk thru the hotel doors, the outside stays outside! We plan to stay again and again and again!

Overall the property was somewhat tired in appearance. The “mood lighting” ( otherwise known as dim ) in the room covered a number of shortcomings. The staff however were friendly and efficient. Best area of the hotel was the restaurant for evening meal and breakfast.
