Top Reading Central Library Hotel Reviews

Malmaison Reading

10/10 Excellent

"Great convenient location. Clean and spacious suite"

pentahotel Reading

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is a really easy walk from the station. We were greeted with a really friendly member of team when checking in who was super about telling us everything we needed to know. The room was super quiet, plenty of plug sockets and the fixtures and fittings all made sense. The bed is both comfortable and HUGE. Preferably I'd like a single duvet not split across each side of the bed like Europe and the sliding door for the en suite was really heavy to operate."

Novotel Reading Centre

8/10 Good

"Great location right in the heart of the city centre, with easy access to public transportation. The staff were very welcoming, professional, and always willing to help, which made the overall experience even more enjoyable. Cleanliness was generally good, although there is some room for improvement. Breakfast offered a good variety of options to suit different tastes, and the food at the restaurant was delicious. The gym was well-equipped and clean, and I particularly enjoyed my workout session. The swimming pool was fun, although the water was a little cold. The sauna and steam room, on the other hand, were absolutely amazing! One small recommendation would be to consider adding more Rituals diffusers, or increasing their presence, in the reception area and guest rooms to enhance the overall atmosphere and create an even more welcoming experience. Overall, I had a very enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend this hotel!"

Garner Reading City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The accessible twin room was perfect for travelling with my Mum who has limited mobility. It was the first (only?) room on the ground floor. It was spacious and good to have rails by the walk-in shower and toilet. Although my Mum uses a walking stick and not a wheelchair we could see it being perfect for someone who does. We liked the little table and chairs, The hotel is within a short walk from restaurants and shops. The staff on reception were friendly."
