Reviews and Ratings
The hotel suited our needs as a 'budget' option during our house renovations. The room overlooked the Red Kangaroo with minor inconveniences like noise from the car park and smokers nearby. The bed, despite a memory foam mattress, was uncomfortable.
The hotel had a few drawbacks like tired and dated rooms that were not soundproof, overlooking a noisy car park with cigarette smoke smell. However, the service was outstanding with helpful staff and a lovely reception area. The location was average without views, but convenient for accessing Reading center. Dining options were a mix of great and disappointing. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement in certain areas.
The hotel offers a budget-friendly stay, with cramped rooms due to low ceilings but a decent experience overall. The service encountered minor issues with room cards but was friendly and efficient. The location had some challenges with blocked cars in the underground parking, yet it served its purpose and was close to necessary amenities. The dining experience was excellent, especially considering the complimentary breakfast. Overall, a decent value for money stay with a few hitches.
