A little out of the way from the city centre, but that can be resolved via a short cab ride. Excellent customer service and amazing rooms make up for it and there is plenty of parking. Definitely stay here again and would highly recommend the Voco Reading by IHG.

Everything was much as expected, friendly staff, clean tidy rooms, comfortable beds, good breakfast. Not too busy even though the hotel is connected to the Football Stadium and there was an evening match - that did mot affect us, stadium activity did not disturb the peace of a quiet 4th floor room. Rooms not the most up-to-date but perfectly adequate. (Remember to bring your phone charger - no USB outlets in the rooms, but you can borrow from reception).

Good hotel but the room was cold - I complained and was told someone would come up and sort thing - I waiting 30 mins no one came! I phoned back to reception but was told they could warm the room centrally - no improvement so put a few layers on, I mentioned it again at reception when checking out but no gesture or offer which made the score poor!!!

Whilst the hotel was large, the staff didn’t seem equipped to deal with more than one thing at once. Drinks at the bar took 25 mins to come to the table (we were the only table in there). At dinner we asked for some broccoli for the children as zero veg on children’s menu. They served broccoli with adult mains but the chefs refused to give any of this as a side for children. They said it was too expensive (even though we offered to pay). Fine for adults wanting a room but wouldn’t recommend for food, drinks or being family friendly.
