The room and bathroom were clean and fine, but there was no window to open, just three very small glass slats that only tilted 1cm. It was way too hot, when it was only 19deg C outside. We managed to catch house keeping and getting an electric fan, but it was still crazy warm. The beds were super comfy. Loads of tea and coffee and big TV. In the winter it'd be brilliant. Easy access with codes, no keys or cards to worry about. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Peter 28 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities Room was basic, but difficulty was encountered when checking in to an unattended building. ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luke 28 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Very clean and tidy Very clean room, good location. Very helpful and polite housekeeper. Needs painting. ##### Luke Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Simon 8 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Blagrave rooms The hotel was easy to find and a stones throw from public transport. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The room had an electronic code pad, with a long number, and auto locking mechanism. ##### Simon Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 24 Nov 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Poorly managed. This stay was for an annual symposium at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Thomas 30 Sept 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities AVOID: BED BUGS The accommodation was riddled with bed bugs. We only discovered this late in to the night and 6 weeks later we are still dealing with bed bugs in our home. The hotel has not responded to any of our messages or offered any compensation for this. ##### Thomas Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Colin 21 Dec 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Still itching just thinking about this property Rather gloomy and grim entrance the overall condition is quite poor and below standard expected by most business travellers . Whilst these apartments are cheaper than others in the city centre location - the condition is quite poor and I think these apartments offer poor value to anyone other than those on an extreme budget prepared to rough it - a previous reviewer talked about bedbugs which scares the hell out of me - anyway I shall not be returning there and I am critical of hotels.com for including this property in their listings. ![Front door / entranceway](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7A04C249F09E358A67EB6D5A1461CC0CBFE866571734809949294.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Stained sofa ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C1B6F4E1A5F87C265CF3DB741BB752EB20BC82291734809949060.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Bed - slept with my clothes on !!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5B75905BF61DFB402E92D37C67C0CE937EFCCAF01734809948742.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Carpet stainex](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B78B99FB86B0E90410CF038103CAD31A39F123171734809949390.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Colin Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Neil 6 Jun 2023 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort All we required was a bed for the night. Room 19 at the front. We were very happy with the room and bathroom was spacious and clean. Saturday nights will be noisy as you are in the town centre and young people will enjoy themselves and shout ln the way home. It is disconcerting that there is no staff and all locks are digital. Dont delete the text! I did try the contact numbers in the days before my visit a never received an answer. Overall happy to return as close to the railway station and main shopping area. It would be nkce to be able to leave the luggage somewhere safe for a few hours. ##### Neil Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### SERGIO 12 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Cheap option in town center Nice convenient place in town centre. Condition is OK and toilette is quite small. There is a common kitchen that gives an unpleasant smell to the common areas. It doesn't give a sense of security given the way keys are delivered that for sure could be improved ##### SERGIO Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 1 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Helpful Very helpful staff with good advanced advice about how to find the key. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Frank 29 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness This is what it says it is; a room. There was an en-suite shower & toilet and a tea/coffee maker. The space was very small (the bedding had to be tucked out of the way to completely close the door) and the available floor space not occupied by the bed was not much more than 15 square feet. It was fairly hard to find. The entrance is squeezed in next to a coffee shop, but extremely convenient for the station and basically all of central Reading. It was spotlessly clean ##### Frank Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 16 Aug 2021 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Avoid Terrible stay - from the start to finish! SHOULD NEVER BE ON HOTELS.COM!! - difficult to find. - needed to wait for one of 'flat mates' to bring card - nasty smell of curry. - room extremely small. - loud noises through the night. Wish I read more reviews or looked at photos. Carpark £25 for night. No parking to drop the bag off. ![Shoes and slippers OUTSIDE room door!

Essential, but newly renovated, clean and practical. Very close to station and all destinations in central Reading. there is no reception: the process to get the keys is well managed, but just be aware there is no reception. Breakfast is served at the cafe below and is fresh and good quality. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 10 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Convenient and Efficient Clear instruction on how to access and check out.

Thanks ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 11 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Nice The location is superb. It is self checkin through a pin unlocked box so no fuss around that. It's tidy and clean. The rooms are very small and I could hear the TV from the room next to mine. It wasn't anything special for the money. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Joanne 15 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### La Baquette The room was too small for two people, only one set of towels and a small quilt. Otherwise very clean and excellent breakfast ##### Joanne Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Vaughn 28 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cheap & Cheerful Great location, clean and simple ##### Vaughn Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gus, wales and Florida 2 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Felt cheated Thankfully my partner was unable to come. On arriving front door had wet paint. Due renovations full English breakfast, that had been prepaid was unavailable and a poor continental breakfast substituted I had been notified a week before but felt some extra effort should have been made. It was worse as most of substitute breakfast I was allergic too ##### Gus Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 1 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Great location but too many flaws to recommend The cafe that used to front the hotel has closed, with no staff on site to administer keys. I was supposed to receive a text to give me the key code for the safe with my key which is on the wall outside the front door, but did not so had no idea how to get in. By chance one of the residents was passing and did it for me. There is no breakfast such such, rather the room is provided with a packed croissant, a banana and an apple, a fruit juice drink and a cereal bar, with the usual range of tea and coffee. The room itself and the bathroom were clean but the pillows so hard a good sleep was impossible. The wi-fi connection is the worst I have encountered in the UK and so weak as to render a notebook or tablet useless, whereas a smart phone at least has a better and faster connection. There is a tv but most of the channels either could not receive a signal or kept blanking out. Although in a great location in the centre of town round the corner from the railway station, this was a disappointing experience. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 11 Jul 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Non-existent staff, pathetic breakfast Because the reception area was being renovated was no excuse for no member of staff to appear at all. I was paid for English breakfast and instead received a pathetic croissa nt in my room. The room was hot, not very clean and I would definetely not go again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary, Somerset, England 1 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Our stopover Everything was completely in order. It was explained that refurbishment was taking place. We were leaving at 4.30 in the morning and the owner was very concerned that we were not getting a breakfast and would supply a packed meal, which we were very grateful for but declined. I would visit again. ##### Mary Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 18 Jun 2018 Disliked: Staff & service Had to phone a mobile number to find out about getting in , tv had a small selection of channels and no breakfast on a Sunday but wasn’t anything on when booking. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Residence Inn by Marriott Manchester Piccadilly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Manchester-Piccadilly.h3564401.Hotel-Information) > - [The Midland - Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-The-Midland-Manchester.h10959.Hotel-Information) > - [Plaza London Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Plaza-London-Hotel.h4969048.Hotel-Information) > - [Corinthia London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Corinthia-London.h3849185.Hotel-Information) > - [The Norfolk Royale Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-The-Norfolk-Royale-Hotel.h47418.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Hotel Manchester Piccadilly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Leonardo-Hotel-Manchester-Piccadilly.h72998541.Hotel-Information) > - [NYX Hotel London Holborn by Leonardo Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-NYX-Hotel-London-Holborn-By-Leonardo-Hotels.h579374.Hotel-Information) > - [Aerotel London Heathrow Airport Terminal 2-3](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Aerotel-London-Heathrow-T2-T3.h21528024.Hotel-Information) > - [The Dilly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Dilly.h21538.Hotel-Information) > - [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > - [Yotel London City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-YOTEL-Clerkenwell.h48296903.Hotel-Information) > - [The Grand Brighton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-The-Grand-Brighton.h6969.Hotel-Information) > - [art'otel London Battersea Power Station powered by Radisson Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-ArtOtel-London-Battersea-Power-Station.h83011268.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Royal Hotel Birmingham ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Birmingham.h789053.Hotel-Information) > - [Shangri-La The Shard, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Shangri-La-The-Shard.h8035714.Hotel-Information) > - [Graduate by Hilton Cambridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Graduate-Cambridge.h22462.Hotel-Information) > - [The Cumberland, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Cumberland.h21659.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-City-Tower-Hill.h530052.Hotel-Information) > - [Radisson Blu Hotel, London Euston Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Grafton-Hotel.h608.Hotel-Information) > - [Bluewaters Hotel, Blackpool North Promenade](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-The-Bedford-Hotel.h34040292.Hotel-Information) > - [Radisson Hotel & Conference Centre London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Conference-Centre-London.h48444523.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Brighton-Waterfront.h21983.Hotel-Information) > - [Mercure London Heathrow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Mercure-London-Heathrow-Hotel.h17586.Hotel-Information) > - [Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Forest-Of-Arden-Country-Club.h28506.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Royal London St Paul’s](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-St-Pauls.h1457972.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Hotel Brighton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Brighton.h1768380.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Hotel Manchester Central](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Manchester-City-Centre.h205304.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Royal London Tower Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-Tower-Bridge.h4190769.Hotel-Information) > - [The Caledonian Tower Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Libertys-On-The-Square.h57917226.Hotel-Information) ---
