Excellent central Reading accommodation
Pros:

Excellent accommodation in central Reading. I normally stay at Novotel when here, took a chance on this as the usual place was busy and expensive. This was superior in every way. Large room, large bathroom with rain shower, very comfortable bed. I was apprehensive when I checked in at a bar, but no need, the room area is very quiet. I will 100% stay here again - also at a third of the price of the usual place it makes sense financially.

Will definitely be back!
Pros:

The staff were really nice despite being crazy busy due to the World Cup England match being on.
The room was decorated beautifully, clean and has air-conditioning which was a blessing from the heat outside.
There is an elevator up to the rooms.
The place had a good vibe and nice bars.
Right beside a tesco express and not far from the train station.

Cons:

I gave a 9/10 and the only reason it wasn't full scores was because we didn't have a window in our room and it hadn't said that in the booking. Despite that, there was a fake window which looked nice and the room was so big it didn't feel claustrophobic.

Great if you don't mind a lively bar and noisy room, otherwise its perfect.
Pros:

The room is fantastic, very spacious, clean and attractive

Cons:

The noise from the bar is too much when you are travelling for work and have an early start, I requested a room on the 2nd floor to avoid the noise when I block booked but keep getting the 1st floor directly above the bar, tonight they have live music. If I wasn't here for work I would be happy to join the fun in the bar.
