Avoid! Much better options for cheaper in Reading!
I would not return to this hotel. I slept at 4am as the noise levels both inside the hotel and outside were atrocious up to that time. I requested a toothbrush kit in the morning and was very rudely told that I would need to get up and get it myself from the vending machine on the ground floor. The room was very dark as well as the entire hotel, even hurt my leg on the loo roll holder as it is too close to the loo. There is no water in the room and shower handle was broken.
It was good. The room was generally clean, but there were a few signs that it hadn't been deep-cleaned for a while, plus there was only one plug socket i could use as the other two with the lamps plugged in were a weird round shape.
The staff were friendly, but when I checked in, I was bombarded by a few upselling promotions, which I just found unnecessary and annoying after a long journey,
Junior suite is lovely! The view is of the street outside and shop so you can hear a bit of noise from passers by but really great room, lots of space and very comfy.

I didn't find it clean. £200 a night fir a room gat had a fridge and you couldn't provide fresh milk, just that uht rubbish. Shower dirty. Stains on carpet. Windows dreadfully dirty
Hotel room was amazing, bed was most comfortable I've ever stayed in. Felt like I was cocooned in a luxury.
Only negative would be no room service which I feel these days is unheard off for a hotel of this standard
