Beautiful building in quiet residential area, close to Reading University. 5 minutes walk to Tesco Express. The free parking space is ample. The staff are excellent. The breakfast is surprisingly good. Only the room is basic. There is a damp smell. Had to leave windows open to air it.

Very busy car park on a Saturday night. Clean room though decor a bit dated. Mould in corner of bathroom ceiling and bath plug drained very slowly. Comfy beds which were nice and firm. Fridge, microwave, plates and cutlery provided. Could hear traffic noise from the room. Got the room at a very reasonable price so will consider again in future.

Only stayed for one night , comfortable bed clean room and bathroom but smelt as if someone had been smoking in the room and they had tried to cover it up. Only a problem if I opened the doors to the sink/microwave etc. Breakfast ok but coffee cold and I was told to heat it up in the microwave, that's what it was there for!

I was given a key to a room with someone in it, I woke the person up opening the door. I felt so let down I did not stay and left the hotel, taking my children on the 6.5 hour drive home as I did not want to stay in the hotel. I would like a full refund due to the above.

Good service helped this basic, tired hotel. Looks though it may have been great in the 1990’s. In saying that, it’s fairly priced, cheap even and the customer service is good. It also gets additional praise for the one tap bar ( fosters ). Ok for work digs, don’t take the Mrs.
