Novotel Reading Centre

Novotel Reading Centre

10/10 Excellent
"Friendly and accessible staff always happy to help. Room cleaning was fine - but we did not need much. We only had breakfast once, but it was very good and plenty to choose from. Bar was well stocked. Hotel car park was GBP21 but they encourage you to use a local shopping centre car park instead which is a 5 minute walk away and only GBP7 and they validate the ticket for you - no big hassle."

8/10 Good
"The Hotel is set within the sprawling grounds which includes a wonderfully maintained golf course despite the current heatwave conditions. I was warmly greeted when checking in and got a lot of steps in getting to my room but was rewarded with a room with a view of the course and everything I needed to enjoy my stay. I used the onsite gym which had new equipment in great working condition which provided a good sweat and pump. I decided to dine elsewhere with Reading being only a few miles away. The bed was extremely comfortable and provided a well-needed night's rest with breakfast options being varied allowing for a great start to the day. The staff were very helpful and the hotel was impeccable."

Private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, free and fast Internet, and the normal amenities found in most hotels should be available at a historic hotel. When you choose a historic hotel in Reading, don't worry that you'll find a place that's uncomfortable or rundown.
