Clean and well proportioned room. Well stocked bar. Right in the centre of town, but far enough away from the bars and nightlife that it doesn't impact your stay.

Great location, quiet room, comfy bed zzzzzz A few niggles - no hairdryer in the room, the one they supplied couldn’t be used anywhere near a mirror. The night bar wouldn’t allow a non resident friend after 10pm, so it was unsurprisingly empty. Front desk staff were very helpful.

Hotel is in a very good location in the centre of Reading. It has good gym, fun and free games in the lobby and nice cocktails. The bed was comfortable and the room was nice, however the only reason I've given this 4 stars is due to the room smelling of stale smoke. Other than that we would definitely return and would recommend to others.

The hotel is generally fine but the rooms are very tired and there were no proper curtains so I was awake at 4:30am with the sunrise. Also no or terrible air con so it was incredibly hot and stuffy. Terrible night's sleep. The bar area is cool and the staff were lovely.
