    Needs improvement
    5.0

    Free Wi-Fi access made it easy to keep connected while I was away from the ship. The location was close enough to the town center that I could find my way to bars and restaurants without much trouble.

    Rooms were quite small and felt a bit spartan, with mattresses that weren't the most comfortable for a quality sleep. I encountered damp on the walls during my stay, and the shared bathroom situation was cramped at best. The breakfast options felt insubstantial. I was surprisingly suspicious about the cooking oils after tasting the rubbery eggs. the parking situation was cramped and the television service was down—definitely not ideal when you want to unwind after a long day. I noticed cleanliness issues that could use attention, particularly with the carpets needing a serious clean.

    Chur! The staff were friendly as, and the breakfast filled me up. But that parking situation was a bit dodgy, and the shared bathrooms could be tight.

    comfy vibe
    cozy bedding
    tight shower

    The twin room had a comfy vibe, perfect for catch-up chats. I appreciated the cozy bedding that made for a decent night's sleep.

    The corner shower doors might be difficult for anyone of a larger size, as they didn’t open terribly wide for access. I also personally found the mattress a bit on the soft side for me, which might not suit everyone's taste. cleanliness issues were apparent, such as stains on the pillow and unwashed glassware.

    comfy twin room
    neapolitan pizza
    friendly staff
    cramped parking
    nonworking television

    The twin room had a comfy vibe, perfect for catch-up chats. I couldn’t resist trying the Neapolitan pizza from Buon Appetito—it’s a slice of heaven! Plus, the friendly staff made sure we felt right at home.

    The parking situation felt a bit cramped—tight lanes and an overgrown area make it tricky to navigate. And sadly, the television was on the fritz, but we found better entertainment nearby!

    friendly service
    comfortable bedding
    cramped parking
    shared bathroom
    busy hours

    A warm welcome set the tone, with the owner assisting in storing my bicycle and helping with luggage. The room was spacious, quiet, and featured a cozy heating setup for a chilly night, complemented by super comfortable bedding. Breakfast was generous, with an unexpected full English both mornings. navigating the cramped parking area was challenging, and the shared bathroom setup might not suit everyone, being occasionally busy during peak hours.

    It was just a perfect match for a short-term stay in Reading with outstanding value. The friendly staff helped me with my luggage, which was a nice touch. Arrive early to enjoy some local eateries nearby.

    A Surprisingly Comfortable Stay with Friendly Faces!

    I appreciated the kind gesture of receiving an en-suite room, beautifully clean with comfortable bedding. Breakfast included delicious options, though I found the eggs a bit rubbery. I recommend arriving early to explore the nearby eateries. A great choice for solo travelers seeking a pleasant experience.
