I reported this to Jean Philippe, and he promised they will be provided to me on Day 2, and they weren't. This meant that I couldn't take shower for 2 days and eventually had to borrow some form my friend who was staying in another apartment) - Iron & ironing board (meaning that I couldn't iron my cloths for 4 (!) days, and giving I was on a business trip, this was purely unacceptable) - Any sort of tea, sugar, etc (meaning that when I arrived at 11pm I couldn't even have a cup of tea). Customer service is dreadful as well. I was constantly messaging the manager to get some of the issues resolved (at lease shampoo!), and he just didn't care. So far, the worst apartment in Reading, and I've seen quite a few. Not recommended, if you want to have a shower, or iron your t-shirt. ##### Natalia Stayed 3 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### venu 13 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent Excellent ##### venu Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Luca 24 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bello recente e spazioso.
