Gteat hotel but a couple of issues
"Great hotel with pleasant staff and excellent food in the restaurant. Couple of issues, the Wi-Fi was appalling and kept dropping out making it impossible to work. The TV Volume was so quiet I had to turn it up full and could barely hear it. Other than that an amazing hotel."

I used to visit Reading as a child visiting my Grandfather. The Abbey ruins always fascinating me and I was pleased to see them open again. Most of the pubs I visited were excellent. The town is very multicultural now which was good to see.
