Friendly staff and attentive service. Very clean, simple rooms with pretty good noise management although some late night noise from nearby bars/clubs. Very convenient to station and Reading is extremely well serviced by buses. Would recommend.

Cheap
As a cheap crash hole near the station and town centre it’s great. But the room was very tired and pretty dirty. Shower had lots of pressure and hot water and wi fi was good

TV turned on automatically during the night.
Both nights that I slept in the hotel, the TV turned on automatically while I was sleeping. I checked and there was no alarm set on the TV. It turned on to a bright white screen with instructions to share my screen to watch from my phone to the TV.

Good location, close to train station and town centre. Room was tired, stains on carpet. It’s more functional than exceptional. It suited my need as I arrived late and only stayed one night. Wi-Fi didn’t work in my room. Did mention it to reception who told me iPhones don’t always work?!? I noted it worked in reception just not my room.
