"I liked everything about my stay and would certainly stay there again as it was very convenient to walk to tue train station the following morning."

Malmaison Reading

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, comfortable and quiet! Everything I needed. The shower head was a bit big for the shower but was easily navigated. The most challenging part was the lack of parking or a drop off area to unload/load bags. Overall, a very positive experience and excellent location."

easyHotel Reading

8/10 Good

"Nice stay, beds were comfy and it’s only a 10 minute walk from the station. The only thing we had an issue with was when we checked in the receptionist loudly announced our room number so it was heard by other guests. As two young women, it’s not safe for others to know our room number so we would appreciate if staff were trained to not do this."

Blagrave Rooms

8/10 Good

"Room was good clean and great access for reading city"

Garner Reading City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The accessible twin room was perfect for travelling with my Mum who has limited mobility. It was the first (only?) room on the ground floor. It was spacious and good to have rails by the walk-in shower and toilet. Although my Mum uses a walking stick and not a wheelchair we could see it being perfect for someone who does. We liked the little table and chairs, The hotel is within a short walk from restaurants and shops. The staff on reception were friendly."
