No hot water, just lukewarm. No vent in the bathroom and when taking a shower, water splashed over the bathroom floor. Rotten apple in the breakfast bag which most likely wasn’t checked for a long time since even the brown paper bag was damaged and sticking to the table.
Town centre location so don't expect it to be quiet, but the rooms are surprisingly good value and quality and it is super convenient for the centre shops and offices. Room top bar is a bonus!
Loved the proper coffee machine and a complimentary beer. Nice decor, comfortable bed, large bathroom. As previous reviews commented, you can hear the noise from the bar a bit, but it never bothered me (a light sleeper may want to bring some ear buds as the building is in the city centre so shouting outside can sometime be quite loud). But the location (close to station and amenities) definitely outweigh any issues. I would definitely stay again.
Plomber noise at 2AM, room with a shower in it not really a bathroom and difficult check in

Reception grief
Poor initial service as despite showing my paid confirmation of the booking I was made to log into my hotels.com acc & print off a receipt in front of them as they manager said anybody could have printed off the copy I turned up with!
Apart from the lift not working which was not a major problem everything else was good & the room was excelent
Very fun place to stay in Reading. The walk from the train station took about 10 minutes. The room was very clean and the Bath amenities were very luxurious. Had a burger in the pub downstairs and the atmosphere was welcoming and lively.
