Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near the train station, making it perfect for travelers like me. The rooms are lovely and functional, although there was a bit of dust on the floor. The service was polite and helpful, but some aspects of behavior were not ideal. The dining options were satisfactory, offering a wide range of products. The location is excellent, just a short walk from Reading station, though parking in the area can be unsafe.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not so great experiences. The room was extremely warm, which made it a bit uncomfortable, but on the bright side, it was super clean and super quiet, creating a cozy atmosphere. The service was brilliant, especially from staff members like Iona and Helena, who were so friendly and helpful. The location was excellent, just a 5-minute walk from Reading railway station, making it perfect for us. However, the pricing had almost doubled, which was a bit disappointing. The dining experience was good with a large variety of options, and the facilities were worth the money.
The hotel's rooms were small and quite basic, as expected for the price paid. We had an already renovated room, but unfortunately, the drain was blocked and couldn't be fixed promptly. Despite the room being very small, the stay was decent overall, especially considering the price paid.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room was beautifully decorated and the bed was super comfy. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, making my stay even better.

The service provided was beyond helpful, especially with the lovely touch of a bowl for my dog.

Overall, a place with potential if some areas were improved.
