We enjoyed the stay but there were stickers on the bedding and the water purchased from downstairs were out of date

Great hotel for location to train and options in town. Perfect for a commute down to Southampton to catch a cruise.

Travelled with my 2 youngest kids for the WE. Very friendly staff. Clean hotel. Great pool !
Breakfast was also good and the kids enjoyed it a lot. Surprised by the space in the room. Very central as Reading high street is 50m from the hotel. I’d definitely come back.

It’s overall quite a nice stay, however on a Saturday night even tho we are on 12 floor, we can still hear noises from the street. But other than that, everything else was good.
