Still itching just thinking about this property

Rather gloomy and grim entrance the overall condition is quite poor and below standard expected by most business travellers . Whilst these apartments are cheaper than others in the city centre location - the condition is quite poor and I think these apartments offer poor value to anyone other than those on an extreme budget prepared to rough it - a previous reviewer talked about bedbugs which scares the hell out of me - anyway I shall not be returning there and I am critical of hotels.com for including this property in their listings.

All we required was a bed for the night. Room 19 at the front. We were very happy with the room and bathroom was spacious and clean. Saturday nights will be noisy as you are in the town centre and young people will enjoy themselves and shout ln the way home. It is disconcerting that there is no staff and all locks are digital. Dont delete the text! I did try the contact numbers in the days before my visit a never received an answer. Overall happy to return as close to the railway station and main shopping area. It would be nkce to be able to leave the luggage somewhere safe for a few hours.

AVOID: BED BUGS The accommodation was riddled with bed bugs. We only discovered this late in to the night and 6 weeks later we are still dealing with bed bugs in our home. The hotel has not responded to any of our messages or offered any compensation for this.

Ok, but too hot for us.

The room and bathroom were clean and fine, but there was no window to open, just three very small glass slats that only tilted 1cm. It was way too hot, when it was only 19deg C outside. We managed to catch house keeping and getting an electric fan, but it was still crazy warm. The beds were super comfy. Loads of tea and coffee and big TV. In the winter it'd be brilliant. Easy access with codes, no keys or cards to worry about.

The hotel was easy to find and a stones throw from public transport. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The room had an electronic code pad, with a long number, and auto locking mechanism.

Cheap option in town center

Nice convenient place in town centre. Condition is OK and toilette is quite small. There is a common kitchen that gives an unpleasant smell to the common areas. It doesn't give a sense of security given the way keys are delivered that for sure could be improved

Liked: Cleanliness
This is what it says it is; a room. There was an en-suite shower & toilet and a tea/coffee maker. The space was very small (the bedding had to be tucked out of the way to completely close the door) and the available floor space not occupied by the bed was not much more than 15 square feet. It was fairly hard to find. The entrance is squeezed in next to a coffee shop, but extremely convenient for the station and basically all of central Reading. It was spotlessly clean

Terrible stay - from the start to finish! SHOULD NEVER BE ON HOTELS.COM!! - difficult to find. - needed to wait for one of 'flat mates' to bring card - nasty smell of curry. - room extremely small. - loud noises through the night. Wish I read more reviews or looked at photos. Carpark £25 for night. No parking to drop the bag off.
Shoes and slippers OUTSIDE room door! Disgusting!
No room to place bag.

Best value for money hotel in central Reading. Essential, but newly renovated, clean and practical. Very close to station and all destinations in central Reading. there is no reception: the process to get the keys is well managed, but just be aware there is no reception. Breakfast is served at the cafe below and is fresh and good quality.

The location is superb. It is self checkin through a pin unlocked box so no fuss around that. It's tidy and clean. The rooms are very small and I could hear the TV from the room next to mine. It wasn't anything special for the money.

Felt cheated

Thankfully my partner was unable to come. On arriving front door had wet paint. Due renovations full English breakfast, that had been prepaid was unavailable and a poor continental breakfast substituted I had been notified a week before but felt some extra effort should have been made. It was worse as most of substitute breakfast I was allergic too

Great location but too many flaws to recommend

The cafe that used to front the hotel has closed, with no staff on site to administer keys. I was supposed to receive a text to give me the key code for the safe with my key which is on the wall outside the front door, but did not so had no idea how to get in. By chance one of the residents was passing and did it for me. There is no breakfast such such, rather the room is provided with a packed croissant, a banana and an apple, a fruit juice drink and a cereal bar, with the usual range of tea and coffee. The room itself and the bathroom were clean but the pillows so hard a good sleep was impossible. The wi-fi connection is the worst I have encountered in the UK and so weak as to render a notebook or tablet useless, whereas a smart phone at least has a better and faster connection. There is a tv but most of the channels either could not receive a signal or kept blanking out. Although in a great location in the centre of town round the corner from the railway station, this was a disappointing experience.

Non-existent staff, pathetic breakfast

Because the reception area was being renovated was no excuse for no member of staff to appear at all. I was paid for English breakfast and instead received a pathetic croissa nt in my room. The room was hot, not very clean and I would definetely not go again.

Our stopover

Everything was completely in order. It was explained that refurbishment was taking place. We were leaving at 4.30 in the morning and the owner was very concerned that we were not getting a breakfast and would supply a packed meal, which we were very grateful for but declined. I would visit again.
