A curate's egg of an experience.

Good Aspects: Location, Size and comfort of room, quality of evening meal. Poor Aspects: Inefficient shower, Lighting in room including ineffective mirrors making shaving etc difficult. No staff at reception when checking out at 10.30 am.

Avoid! Much better options for cheaper in Reading!

I would not return to this hotel. I slept at 4am as the noise levels both inside the hotel and outside were atrocious up to that time. I requested a toothbrush kit in the morning and was very rudely told that I would need to get up and get it myself from the vending machine on the ground floor. The room was very dark as well as the entire hotel, even hurt my leg on the loo roll holder as it is too close to the loo. There is no water in the room and shower handle was broken.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It was good. The room was generally clean, but there were a few signs that it hadn't been deep-cleaned for a while, plus there was only one plug socket i could use as the other two with the lamps plugged in were a weird round shape. The staff were friendly, but when I checked in, I was bombarded by a few upselling promotions, which I just found unnecessary and annoying after a long journey,
