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.

Do not stay here!

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The sponge mattress had a large lump missing, dirt up the walls. The walls are so thin that getting any sleep is difficult. I could hear everything happening in the next room. The shared bathroom was new, have to wait a while for the hot water and was the nicest part of the stay.

It is alittle run down but it is clean and in a quiet area.it has alot of stairs and doors to go through to get to your room so can be abit awkward with suitcases. Downside the walls are paper thin do you do hear everything .you can hear them chatting on their mobiles to chatting and going to toilet walking etc etc. I did find that the bed was quite hard like it was old and pillows were old as they placed two in one pillowcase.its an ok place if convenience of location is the priority

Cheap, cheerful and comfy if a little tired

I needed a comfy affordable room for a 1 night stay in Reading and in that respect it ticket all the boxes for my requirement. Comfy enough bed for an average sized bloke, not the softest but perfectly fine, good supply of tea and coffee although could have done with a couple more milks as I like my tea a little milkier than average. Its a shared bathroom so its only going to be as clean as the left person left it so you kind of expect the odd hair but it was fine for me, ive used festival toilets and showers and if coped with them I can more than cope with this. The place is a little tired but its an old building. One notable point to make on the furnishings was the mirror was attached to the wall with glue and sealant and it was a shocking job with gobs of it everywhere. It really doesnt take 2 minutes to smooth out the sealant so that is just laziness and it really let the room down for something to easy to avoid. So 3/5, far from Buckingham Palace, but cheap and cheerful and £27 for a single room is a great price to be fair.
