Clean and functional room, and the air conditioning worked perfectly (thankfully!). Very helpful staff, great for a short stay, and a stone’s throw from the central train station!

Great central location, just a few minutes walk from Reading Station. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was fine, though it had seen better days, with a few carpet stains and signs of use. If you're looking for somewhere in the town centre for a couple of nights, it's perfectly acceptable. Any longer, I can't comment.
