I stayed at Malmaison Reading for a business trip and had a great experience. The location is excellent, right across from Reading Station, which made travel very convenient. My room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, providing a great place to relax after a busy day of meetings. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay, making the experience even better. Breakfast was another highlight, with a good variety of options and everything fresh and well prepared. It was a great way to start the day before heading out for work. Overall, a very pleasant stay. The combination of a convenient location, clean rooms, friendly service, and a quality breakfast makes this a hotel I would happily stay at again when visiting Reading.

The location was excellent, close to the railway station and the RailAir stop, which is why we chose this hotel. Our biggest complaint were the two single beds, they were uncomfortably hot with only a single very heavy duvet. As simple sheet and blanket would be much more comfortable.
