Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms with good amenities, but the service can be improved. The central location is ideal for shopping and outfit choices, though communication could be better. The dining experience is outstanding but a little expensive.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious with all the necessary amenities, but the noise level due to stag/hen groups made it a bit chaotic. The friendly and helpful service stood out, although there were some errors in taking orders. The location had great potential for a fun evening but the noise level could be a downside. The dining experience was good overall, except for the lack of proper crockery during tea time.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room I stayed in at the rear of the hotel was incredibly quiet; no noise bothered me from outside or the bar downstairs. However, I once stayed in a street-facing room, and the noise from cars made it quite uncomfortable even with the window shut. The carpet in the room had stains all over, which was a bit off-putting. The room also needed some updating and lacked a fridge, which would have been convenient.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were very modern and comfortable, although being on the fourth floor meant I had a lovely clean and spacious space, the downside was facing the main road, which made the room noisy due to the busy traffic. Additionally, the adjoining door allowed sound from my neighbor's blaring TV until 1 am.
The room was smaller than expected and not in good condition. The service was a bit hit or miss with friendly reception but some rude encounters. The location was good for exploring but lacked attention to service. The dining experience had some shortcomings with limited options. The facilities were average with some issues reported.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with clean and comfortable rooms and very friendly staff. The dining experience had its drawbacks but overall was satisfying. The location was convenient for my needs, and the facilities provided added value to my stay.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. Despite the convenient location near the city center and helpful staff, there were noisy surroundings and issues with service, including a disturbing incident involving the police. The dining options left much to be desired, and the high parking fee was a letdown.
The hotel is centrally located in Reading, ideal for exploring nearby tourist cities like London, Salisbury, and Windsor. The rooms were a big disappointment, not matching the standard shown in the photos. The service was friendly but had issues with delayed and incorrect food orders. The dining had a good selection but suffered from staff shortages. The hotel offers a cozy and well-presented atmosphere, with some minor service hiccups affecting the overall experience.
The hotel was in a quiet location, away from outside noise and the bar downstairs, making for a peaceful stay. Additionally, the staff were quite persistent with check-out times, despite prior arrangements for a late check-out.
The hotel could use a bit more maintenance in the rooms as mine wasn't ready on arrival at 7 pm, making it too hot to sleep. However, the fast and friendly reply confirming my concern was a plus. The service was top-notch with a feel-good atmosphere and helpful staff, even providing a portable heater. The location seemed promising but fell short over the weekend. Overall, a trendy vibe more than a relaxing spot. The dining experience was a bit slow and pricey at £18, yet the locally caught fish was a highlight. The facilities were adequate with nothing extraordinary.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, although equipped with all expected conveniences, were quite noisy due to street sounds. However, the service left a lot to be desired, with long queues and a regrettable incident that involved the police. The location was vibrant and ideal for exploring the town center, despite needing a decent tidy up. The dining experience was pleasant with good choices, but there were a few hiccups along the way.
