Overall the room was good value for money, being only 30 mins walk from Reading Festival. Had a very nice check in. The room itself was good, a few chipped paintworks and a very dusty extractor fan in bathroom, but we were happy nonetheless. Only small issue was we only had half a room of toilet paper and on Saturday morning we asked for it to be replaced whilst we were out at the festival. On our return at midnight, no toilet paper was provided, which made things difficult. Would recommend having at least 1 spare in the bathroom provided if the one on the rail is not a full one. Otherwise we had a lovely stay and would recommend if you are looking for a room to drop your stuff, go to the festival or stay most time out in Reading. We would happy come back if at least 1 extra toilet rolls were provided in the bathroom on our check in.

Bad condition. No soundproof at all. For two nights I was hearing some weird groaning from the person staying next door. I did not know that the Room I was going to stay at is not en-suite. Dusty and old carpets. Moulds on the wall. The doors were in bad condition. Had to change to TravelLodge for my 3rd night

Halfway house for the underworld!

Pretty sure the place was a halfway house for the underworld! Shower was broken. Toilet was broken. No staff to be seen. Stunk of cannabis. People running up and down the stairs into the early hours and banging doors and shouting. Moved a bed to retrieve a dropped item and the wall was covered in mould. Pretty sure behind there hadn’t seen a hoover in a decade. Beds were so uncomfortable the floor would have been more inviting if it hadn’t been covered in suspicious stains. I could go on and on!!! Disgusting excuse for a hotel

Clean Bed Sheets.......and thats it

The bed was nice with fresh sheets and the bathroom was nice and clean apart from broken tap. We were lucky to have the double with en-suite, other rooms had a shared bathroom. Manky carpets, dirty walls, mouldy ceiling. Noisy. I know its a cheap hotel but wasnt dirt cheap.

This room was simple, but clean and the shower was good. The owner gave me an upgrade so that I did not have to share a bathroom. For the price, it exceeded my expectations.

It's cheap and adequate, beds are comfortable enough; however, the wifi wasn't good enough to stream TV which when is pretty essential to pass time when working away from home.
