Un buen lugar para alojarse e Reading

Desde el momento en que llegas te sientes arropado, muy buena la comida del desayuno, fui para el festival de Reading 2019 y se agradecía una ducha y una cama tras los conciertos.

Management is fantastic and so incredibly helpful. It is a great stay for the price. Be aware the breakfast is continental. There is an upcharge for hot. I either missed that on Expedia, or Expedia doesn't make that clear. Not sure which. Pleasant stay.

Need to consider soundproofing

Friendly staff. The room was clean but cramped. Wifi was good. Comfortable bed. Breakfast was ok for the price. The wall between my room and the adjacent room was paper thin. I could hear my neighbour's TV and telephone calls as though we were in the same room. Soundproofing would make a big difference to the quality of the stay.

Bit expensive for offerings

Free parking was good but place is just very average bed and breakfast. We have been travelling for 5 weeks and taking all our accommodation into account this place was expensive for the facilities. Hosts are lovely and friendly though.

I only stayed one night but found it comfortable and well appointed for the price. It was conveniently situated. The plumbing was very noisy meaning that we all woke when the first person started washing.

Good value B&B.

Owner very friendly, welcoming & helpful. Good size car park. Room & en suite basic but spotlessly clean. Breakfast room could do with being spruced up a bit but all in all good value in a central location, would stay here again if in Reading.

Nice B&B in Reading

I stayed here for four nights and was totally pleased with the place. I booked through Expedia and the process was simple. The next day I checked in and was able to check in early. The room was cozy, cleanly, and quiet. The staff are nice and helpful. The price was fair and I would recommend the place for anyone looking for a B&B to stay in. Easy walk to Reading Station and to many shops and restaurants.

Not a good experience.

Too expensive for a no frills lodge. The room was very small, twin beds were not big enough to hold my frame. Could not find a charging point in the room. Overall not going back there again.

Nice place to stay

The place is very clean run by a friendly landlord but it is spoilt by the details. The bedroom door sticks and is difficult to open. The light switches are in the wrong places.
