Location and style, decoration and books around, free water and the pub donwstairs, looks fresh young and cozy at the same time.
A bit noisy when the pub is full or there is any event downstairs, nothing too bad.

We stayed one night, and really enjoyed the room.
Great location for train station and restaurants.
Easy check in.
Elevator/ lift.
Room was spacious, comfortable and clean. And, some beautiful decor eg wallpaper and bathroom floor and tiles
We both slept well: dark, very quiet, comfy bed, duvet, and pillows.
Importantly, the place was WARMđ
Kettle, coffee machine, tea and coffee, and water. Also, a sofa and TV
I would definitely come back and would recommend the place
There were no windows you could open. Not possible to ventilate the room or get fresh air. But, it still did not feel stuffy

Very central location walcable from the train station. Nice modern look and feel of the rooms. The room was also spacious. I would recomend anyone to stay there.
The only thing I remember that the room was a bit warm when I walked in, I just had to lower the termostat and all was good.

Convenient location
Extremely loud as it is above a pub that has a deafening bass.

Great location and comfortable room, was NYE and Lostcity (Reading renowned DJs) were hosting which topped off the night. Breakfast was a basic stir pot porridge, orange juice fruit and biscuits. Greggs opposite though so problem solved.

Location is fantastic. The room was clean.
It felt cold to me and could not get it cozy warm . Building works outside disturbed our morning. The shower was super slippery - I have risked huge injuries to my already bad hip- I literally was sliding down?!! Cheap plastic coating plus my hair conditioner=bad danger. Drink cups were tiny- for an avid tea drinker those tiny coffee cups were not suitable.

I didnât
The toilet seat was broken, the shower didnât drain so it flooded the floor, poor lighting in the room so you canât see properly when getting ready. No iron or ironing board in the room.
Very noisy outside in the early mornings

Nice decor
The room was very dark and the lighting dim. Also no fan in the bathroom.

Room was clean and the breakfast bag and coffee machine was a good idea. The shower was amazing with plenty of hot water. The bed was very comfortable and the room overall was interesting.
The hotel was not completely renovated and the corridors smelt of cigarette smoke. The rooftop bar area ment there was a lot of loud music and noise until past 11pm. The toilet flushing handle was poorly designed and clashed with the toilet seat. The shower flooded the bathroom floor a little bit.

Exceltionally clean and spacious room with thoughtful breakfast bag and free tea and coffee. Bar downstairs was very lively but good noise insulation
Shelf above sink made cleaning your teeth a challenge without making a mess! Stairwell needs a little t&c, but rooms were fab

The room was lovely and clean, very comfortable bed and excellent location and considering it being in the centre of town it was very quiet
The left was out of order so wasnât fun on my knee walking up the stairs and the room was absolutely freezing and the heating cranked up high didnât make any difference until the next day when we left, fortunately I was able to buy a hot water bottle At Marks and Spencer before it closed to heat the bed up

Breakfast box was a bonus I didn't expect - thank you! Everything was clean and comfortable; the room was well-provided with hooks for clothing and lovely large bath towel - plus tea & coffee supplies. I also appreciated small refrigerator to leave food overnight. Staff was very welcoming and accommodating.
The convenient downtown location (walkable from train station & Abbey) means there can be street noise which cannot be controlled by The Market House. All was quiet from about 10:30 p.m. when fewer public buses passed - until, unfortunately, a person was very loud outdoors about 5:30 a.m.

Always love staying at Market House as the rooms are lovely and comfortable. I was especially impressed with the breakfast bag which is a lovely addition and more than enough. There is plenty of milk and teas and coffee pods which makes a change compared to other hotels.

Lovely comfortable room
With quirky touches. Location was perfect - just a few minutes walk from shops and the train station, as well as bus stop for buses to the University and to Heathrow.
Friday night it was a bit noisy with the music coming from the bar. But it didnât go on too late.

Cool hotel up from a very noisy club, happen to have some football matches so town was busy, but surprisingly, could barely hear the bar down stairs. It looks to be redone, so nice an new

I found my stay very comfortable, and was impressed with the decor and cleanliness. Check-in was handled by the bar staff at the venue on the ground floor. I was able to find all the amenities and supplies that I needed.
The breakfast option could be improved. A little bag was provided with plain porridge, an apple, and some biscuits. I really need more to set me up for the day but was not successful in finding anywhere nearby for anything substantial. Next time I will know to ask / research more in advance. It would be great if there was a local place you could do a deal with - or if a facility such as a buffet could be provided on-site, I would be prepared to pay a little more for that.

Lovely room and bathroom, nice touches coffee machine, and a beer! Roof top terrace perfect.
Not being able to see out of the windows, but assume there is no view hence opaque glass.

Great value, location beside museum, 7 mins walk to train station, another 5 to river and class Lido / Spa. Free bottle of Corona in the room and lotsa goodies, big active bar, night music even stopped at 12, 9oldie needs his sleep), friendly bar staff and young lady in charge of rooms on check-out was really nice.
Absolutely no complaints.

Lovely, stylish room, super comfy bed, enough pillows provide (not always a given), super clean, good amenities (great tea - Birchall, coffee, complimentary beer, free and plenty of water, breakfast box provided), clean bathroom with big shower.
Frosted window that can't be opened, so you can't see outside but that might not be an issue for everyone, just a personal pet peeve

The room was a good size and was stylishly furnished. It was in a good location in the centre of town. It wasnât too far from the station. The bathroom was really smart, with a good shower and big bath towels.
The breakfast was a bit disappointing, as it was just a few items in a takeaway bag. It was a bit noisy in the morning, as it was on a bus route.

I felt funny just picking the highest rating for each section but I really canât take points off for anything. We loved it and were very pleasantly surprised! Lots of little details like a bag of breakfast foods and a beer you can take down to the bar to exchange for a cold one. Everything spotless. Staff and checking easy
All great!

Everything was really good easy to get to and not far from any places to eat and drink also the room you can hardly hear the pub downstairs comfy bed
Only thing I saw which was bit health and safety was there was not sticker to say that the shower had a step also no bath mat for any water that stops water going on floor that may slip on

Well because it cost so little, my expectations were low so was greatly surprised by almost everything. You couldnât have asked for much more. If i had to criticise anything it would be that it could have better lighting, and breakfast was not good for us as my husband is a coeliac and im lactose intolerant. So before leaving us a bag of breakfast items it may have been better to find out allergies intolerances etc. but overall it was great.

The room is lovely and cosy, as described. The to-go breakfasts are a great touch. Location is convenient for Reading centre and rail station
There is little soundproofing and unfortunately there are substantial building works going on next door beginning around 8 am, so a lie-in or working in the room is challenging.

The rooms are beautiful. Very well designed. Very clean. Also cool on a very hot day!
I didnât realise how noisy it would be on a Saturday night, as the rooms are above a pub. My faultâŚ..however it all stopped at midnight! Great nights sleep followed.

Quirky room, clean, nice staff
Loud music which we hasnât expected but didnât disturb us too much. Next time would request a room on the other side of the building - would prefer this to be offered.
