Got a great deal on this hotel online and booked mainly for the late check out (5 p.m). Was extremely pleasantly surprised. Room was great, clean and very modern up to the Bose iPod dock (had my iPod thanks to previous reviewer). Had some issues finding the car park but reception staff were very helpful and overall all the staff... More

Central high street location (next door to an IBIS hotel). I found the hotel difficult to find as Reading's one way system is a nightmare. It took me over an hour to travel just 3 miles and ended up in a bus lane, so I suggest you get the Sat Nav reference from the hotel (I phoned after an unsuccessful... More

We booked a last minute stay here for a Saturday night - the late check out (until 5pm!) on Sunday was a big bonus.

Of course the location of the hotel is very good : in the center of Reading. The only thing that I could complain was the... More
