Turbo shabby chic
An honest hotel located above a busy, loud bar not - somewhere for an early nighter but well worth the stay. Taking shabby chic to new heights the attention to the 'unfinished' decor is amazing keeping cleanliness at the forefront.

Great room! Very different staying above a bar/ restaurant but it was great!! Could not hear anything! The only problem was parking and bringing your luggage up two fights of stairs.

Central location with easy access to city centre facilities. Rooms were lovely and the the roof-top bar made for an interesting alternative in Reading.

Fint værelse
Fint værelse der var dejligt indrettet, der var lidt larm fra baren nedenunder men ikke generende - til gengæld var det lidt underligt at man skulle overbevise dørmanden om at man skulle ind om aftenen.

Enjoyed our stay at this quirky property. Room was nicely decorated, beds were comfortable, everything was clean, great location. As mentioned, the pub downstairs can be a bit noisy until 23:00-ish. Room had a coffee pod machine and there was bottled water and milk available in a communal fridge for free. Check in and out at the bar downstairs was smooth and easy. Solid choice in Reading.

100% recommended
Great location, very central whilst also feeling very quiet. Good insulation between rooms, didn't hear neighbours at all which is impressive as there's a bar downstairs and bar terrace. Beautiful design, friendly staff, comfy bed, good entertainment (joined the drag bingo), can't fault it!
