Disappointing that out of the 8 rooms booked, 2 were clearly for disabled people. We also were refused a drink from the Bar at 11.00 p.m as it was shutting.

Disliked: Staff & service
Hotel looked tired and in need of a renovation. Room had no heating/cooling options other than a portable oil fired radiator. Room was on second floor at front of hotel and noisy. Sainsbury's Local supermarket was opposite the hotel and deliveries on both nights began at 3.30am which resulted in little sleep. Not the romantic weekend away that we were hoping for. Spoke to manager in the morning whose response was 'the hotel is on a town and they can't control nise'. Not impressed. Has put me off visiting another Malmaison,

We travelled up to Reading as an overnight stay after watching England at Twickenham. Checked in online, and contacted reception in advance to see if we could leave our bags in the room at 1130. Nothing was too much trouble and the room was clean and welcoming. This is the second year in a row we have stayed here, and the accommodation a breakfast was top notch. A cracking solution to avoiding London prices and the queues for trains.
