"This room was simple, but clean and the shower was good. The owner gave me an upgrade so that I did not have to share a bathroom. For the price, it exceeded my expectations."

There was no heating in the room nor any extra blankets . It was freezing . I want a refund.

2.0 / 10.0

Well all you need to know is we passed the police raiding with Tasers drawn in the corridor as we were leaving... Unclean, unwelcoming locked front door, very tired fittings, mouldy, musty smelling, broken tap, could go on. Recommended if you want to be on Police camera action.

1.0 / 10.0

A new low point reached. Noisey all night & filthy

4.0 / 10.0

The hotel is definetely a bit shabby and down-at-heel, but it is clean and the staff friendly. Although it was a shared bathroom this was not a problem. The shower was surprisingly strong and as hot as i needed. The room was small but the matress on the bed was very comfortable. If you're happy with cheap but clean then I'd recommend it. I'd stay again

1.0 / 10.0

Worst hotel experience of my life. This is an outright scam. Nothing like the pictures. Place is filthy, dirty and in a poor state of disrepair. Recommend you avoid at all cost.

8.0 / 10.0

Overall the room was good value for money, being only 30 mins walk from Reading Festival. Had a very nice check in. The room itself was good, a few chipped paintworks and a very dusty extractor fan in bathroom, but we were happy nonetheless. Only small issue was we only had half a room of toilet paper and on Saturday morning we asked for it to be replaced whilst we were out at the festival. On our return at midnight, no toilet paper was provided, which made things difficult. Would recommend having at least 1 spare in the bathroom provided if the one on the rail is not a full one. Otherwise we had a lovely stay and would recommend if you are looking for a room to drop your stuff, go to the festival or stay most time out in Reading. We would happy come back if at least 1 extra toilet rolls were provided in the bathroom on our check in.

Bad condition. No soundproof at all. For two nights I was hearing some weird groaning from the person staying next door. I did not know that the Room I was going to stay at is not en-suite. Dusty and old carpets. Moulds on the wall. The doors were in bad condition. Had to change to TravelLodge for my 3rd night

4.0 / 10.0

The whole building needs renovation. It is old and room not aired out so smell of dampness.

1.0 / 10.0

Pretty sure the place was a halfway house for the underworld! Shower was broken. Toilet was broken. No staff to be seen. Stunk of cannabis. People running up and down the stairs into the early hours and banging doors and shouting. Moved a bed to retrieve a dropped item and the wall was covered in mould. Pretty sure behind there hadn’t seen a hoover in a decade. Beds were so uncomfortable the floor would have been more inviting if it hadn’t been covered in suspicious stains. I could go on and on!!! Disgusting excuse for a hotel

Bed was mouldy Every inch of the hotel is covered in dirt Shower wasnt hot Toilet wouldnt flash Shower was dirty I definitely wouldn't recommend

2.0 / 10.0

The bed was nice with fresh sheets and the bathroom was nice and clean apart from broken tap. We were lucky to have the double with en-suite, other rooms had a shared bathroom. Manky carpets, dirty walls, mouldy ceiling. Noisy. I know its a cheap hotel but wasnt dirt cheap.

2.0 / 10.0

They never cleaned the room I also book another extra night and they didn't clean not even provide toilet paper or towels I had to request for it and also not option for bed and breakfast they don't provide this service but on Internet says they do and not even for get water because the machine was broken, they provide coffee and sugar and the person attending the hotel was very friendly.

It's cheap and adequate, beds are comfortable enough; however, the wifi wasn't good enough to stream TV which when is pretty essential to pass time when working away from home.

I arrived in need of a hot shower and found the shower broken. No way of regulating the temperature and the water was scolding hot i had started to shower so my hair was wet. There was no way to shower due to the temperature so i then tried to dry my hair only to find the hairdryer did not work. No heating in the room so wrapped my wet hair in a towel and slept with cold wet hair all night. Noone on reception. Absolutely appaling. Want a refund and to warn others

This place stank of cannabis at the door so I walked away and booked elsewhere. Not surprisingly, they refuse to refund. The police and environmental health have been requested to help. I'm not that desperate for £80 but they won't get it without a fight!

It was awful. Too noisy to sleep well. To be fair it was cheap and was all that was available with Reading being so busy. The man at reception was polite and nice natured but the place was horrendous. Go into this place with your eyes open.

The shared bathroom was new, have to wait a while for the hot water, but was a spacious bathroom. The sponge mattress had a large lump missing, dirt up the walls. The walls are thin. You can hear everything happening in the next room.
