Top Reading Hotel Reviews

Malmaison Reading

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed one night due to cancelled trains. Excellent location right next to the station. Spotlessly. Huge bathroom and super comfy bed. No complaints."

Novotel Reading Centre

8/10 Good

"Great location right in the heart of the city centre, with easy access to public transportation. The staff were very welcoming, professional, and always willing to help, which made the overall experience even more enjoyable. Cleanliness was generally good, although there is some room for improvement. Breakfast offered a good variety of options to suit different tastes, and the food at the restaurant was delicious. The gym was well-equipped and clean, and I particularly enjoyed my workout session. The swimming pool was fun, although the water was a little cold. The sauna and steam room, on the other hand, were absolutely amazing! One small recommendation would be to consider adding more Rituals diffusers, or increasing their presence, in the reception area and guest rooms to enhance the overall atmosphere and create an even more welcoming experience. Overall, I had a very enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend this hotel!"

Parkside International Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room 308 is haunted. I have stayed in this room 3 times now and have had something breath in my ear as I lay in bed wide awake, I had something invisible walk up to me quickly as I could hear the heavy footsteps and i turned around and nothing was there and I heard a short groan which was definitely from inside the room. Apart from that I had a lovely stay."

The Wee Waif Reading by Greene King Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Room cosy bath was nice shower was a little under pressured wobbly toilet and a small leak from the sink, not an issue though nice and quiet normal sounds such as doors closing and people talking. Very comfy bed and sofa high tv with smart view connection for devices. Extra towels and pillows too. Food onside was a bonus though I didn't eat as it was a layover for one night. Best thing was on arrival I got to check in early as I had miss read the email confirmation the staff were happy for me to go to the room as it was ready. One small issue was that the heating was electric and on a timer so was initially chilly once I'd figured out the override room warmed up very nicely. Definately recommend if travelling for work or just need to rest on a long journey 10/10 would and will stay again."
