The staff team and cleanliness was very good. Location was excellent and it was easy to get to the train station. Breakfast was ok..the hot chocolate was delicious. Suggestions: muffins and non microwaved scrambled eggs (because they tasted hard), and the option to have fried eggs, seeded bread and grapes.

Really comfy bed and clean room - only downside is the area around the hotel being on the dodgy side, and the bathroom had a bit of a sewage smell. But such good value for money

The hotel is well located near the train station, making it very convenient for us to make day trips to other cities as Reading is a major train hub. We like the room configuration too. Although the room is small but it has everything we need. Of course we like the price, really good value for money.
