Poor check in .. booked en suite and they tried to give me a shared bathroom .. room was filthy .. old sour milk left on the window sill .. rubbish behind bed .. dangerous electric with wires hanging out of the wall .. it wasnât expensive but some sort of standard is required .. worn carpet and rucked up .. certain it hadnât been cleaned .. a health hazard
We stayed here as a convenient first stop after a long haul flight. Friendly service and a nice clean hotel. Rooms a re a bit tired, but we loved staying here nonetheless!
This is a solid tradesmens' hotel, clean basic service and a friendly, personable staff. If you want slick and modern, this is not the place for you; but if you want reliable services and a decent breakfast, this could be your home-from-home.
It is as bad as all the bad reviews say. It is a dirty, smelly, run down hotel. Its cheap (ÂŁ48) but I still feel I paid too much. Luckily I only had to stay one night. If you are desperate for the cheapest hotel then it is OK for a night. I slept OK and shower was hot but left as early as I could.
The room property was stuffy and dusty. The bathroom and the beddings were dirty.
The staff were very friendly though and tried to make my stay as comfortable.
On site parking great.
The building is in disrepair- holes in the walls and doors, graffiti on the doors, very old and unclean. It smelt like cannabis on the top floor. Did not feel safe or comfortable here. I was travelling for business and will not be going back. I ended up sleeping on the towels on the bed and not using a duvet as it didnât feel clean. I woke up with a cough the next day- havenât coughed since leaving there or before going. Smelt like urine on the stairs- there was a communal toilet by the stairs. Windows were dirty and old curtains that I didnât want to touch. Should have read the reviews. It either needs knocking down or a complete renovation. I checked out early and went to work early to not be there. Check in was old fashioned- written invoice and the exact same amount of the room cost was withdrawn from my account from the card I used to book 2 days before arriving. I was then told this was not the hotel and I had to pay again on the day. This resulted in a fraud case being opened by the bank to recall that money and my card being cancelled.
The Hotel is nice overall, not 5 star by any means but the romm was spacious the bed was good, could do with extra pillows and a more modern shower system. Air con would be a bonus. But overall was a decent stay if your on a budget
Standard hotel in reading that could not meet basic business needs due to poor wifi connection. Room was basic and really having stayed here will sort other hotels in the area if I return to the region in the near future.
Fithy dirty and very run down. Stank of smoke. Tv didnt work, dirt, hair and dust in every available corner, decoration badly done and in disrepair, graffiti in hallways, curtains not attached to rails so couldnt open them. Shower one solid stream of water. Spiders alive and dead on ceiling and wardrobe. Light fitting smashed. Grubby and horrible. Never stayed anyway like it and definitely wont be returning.
Don't have high expectations if you are staying here. It is very basic and needs a good clean and update. Wallpaper was ripped on the walls and paint peeling in the bathroom. In the morning took my partner 10 mins to get hot water of the shower running for us to be able to use.
