My stay at the hotel was a pleasant surprise! The rooms were clean, well-presented, and larger than expected, with a great shower and a fridge for fresh milk. The service was excellent and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. The location in Reading was amazing, right in the center within walking distance of everything. The dining experience was lovely, though breakfast started a bit late. Overall, a unique and fantastic stay!

The hotel had really good bathrooms and was very comfortable and well-equipped at a good price. However, the room was by the main area and not soundproofed at all.

What a gem of a hotel! The rooms are beautifully decorated, very clean, and have great amenities, making it exactly what we needed for a comfortable stay. The service was top-notch, with staff ensuring everything was well taken care of and going above and beyond to fix any issues. The location couldn't be better, close to a great selection of bars and eateries, and offering a perfect balance between convenience and tranquility. Dining was a lovely experience, though some improvements could be made in terms of timing. Overall, a fantastic value for the money.

This hotel is a hidden gem above the pub! The rooms are very welcoming and friendly, super comfortable, and beautifully decorated. Plus, having a Nespresso machine and a kettle with different teas available was a lovely touch. However, service was a bit of a mixed bag with lovely and accommodating staff but lacking presence at the reception area. The location is perfect, surrounded by shops, restaurants, and entertainment, yet still peaceful. The dining experience was good overall, although it could have started a bit earlier. The facilities are well-kept and convenient for guests.

My stay was truly wonderful at this hotel. The rooms were clean, well presented, and above the large bar/restaurant. They looked just like the photos and were very comfortable and well equipped. However, they were just a little bit dark due to the dark wall colors and inadequate lighting, especially over the bathroom mirror.
