    I loved how the area was bustling and so convenient for exploring, especially with the Maiwand Lion and The Oracle just a few minutes' walk away, making it really easy to wander around and soak in the city vibes. plus, the cozy and clean room layout was a bonus for a restful stay and perfect for single travelers who appreciate a nice balance of comfort and adventure.

    quirky room
    excellent rain shower
    convenient location

    Do recommend for a weekend pause

    Quirky room, excellent rain shower, the room was clean and comfortable with good quality towels and lots of plugs, and it was conveniently located close to the train station, high street, and The Oracle shopping Center.

    All was wonderful.

    spacious room
    fantastic coffee machine

    The room was spacious, super clean, and had a fantastic coffee machine! The location was perfect, right near shops and train stations. The shower gel and body cream were a lovely touch.

    Felt very happy, nothing to complain about.

    Had a lovely night in a clean room with fresh towels and comfy bedsheets. The terrace was nice for soaking up the sun, and the live music really added to the vibe. The mattress could've been better, but it didn't ruin our overall experience. 😊

    shuffleboard fun
    great drink selection
    cool bar area
    awkward buffet sizes

    Awesome place for a quick stay!

    We had a fab party with a great drink selection! The shuffleboard was super fun and kept us entertained. The buffet was a bit off in terms of portion sizes for our guests. And yeah, walking from the car park was a bit of a trek, but overall it was a great vibe. Loved hanging out in the bar area too!

    spacious room
    comfy bed
    clean amenities
    odd check-in
    closed-off windows

    I stayed in a Superior Double Room for one night. The room was surprisingly spacious and the bed was super comfy, which I really appreciated. There was a large frosted window that brought in some daylight, but it felt a bit closed off. Aircon worked great, and it was really clean. check-in was in a bar, which felt a bit odd. it had a cool boutique vibe with unique decor that made it nice. Just wished for clearer windows or better lighting.

    unique room decor
    high cleanliness standard
    excellent bathroom facilities
    uncomfortable mattress
    lack of breakfast options

    The location is perfect for exploring Reading, being close to local attractions. I stayed in a Superior Double Room, and the unique room decor added a charming touch. Unfortunately, the mattress was uncomfortable and made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. I appreciated the high standard of cleanliness and the excellent bathroom facilities, but I would have liked more options for breakfast nearby.

    Great coffee and tea making facilities.

    The room was cold and smelly, and there was no staff available to help us. This lack of support made everything worse when I had to leave early due to the discomfort.
