8/10 Good

"Hotel was modern clean and tidy Bed was comfortable Breakfast I found very good my only complaint is the food was lukewarm"

Novotel Reading Centre

Novotel Reading Centre

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent stay, would highly recommend. Superb breakfast, delicious food, great range including freshly made pancakes (the kids loved the machine!). The pool was fantastic. Room very quiet and comfortable. Could have done with more tea and milk. Was great having a fridge with plenty of room for our own drinks. Sofa bed allocated to the 2 children was a little small and bouncy (if one moved the other felt it, plus metal frame was exposed) but ok for a couple of nights. Not many plugs or charging points. Would definitely stay again, great location, near the station and all the shops and restaurants. Parked in broad st mall 10 min walk away at a discounted rate."

Crowne Plaza Reading by IHG

Crowne Plaza Reading by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is an easy bus ride from Heathrow. RailAir A1 from bay 12 level 0 Terminal 2 (and 5). It is also next to Winnersh Rail station. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The food was superb. Wide selection of traditional fare and East Indian cuisine available throughout the day. The wine list was well above average. There is a Spa, a decent gym with three large windows and a good size pool with day light as well. The Sauna was nice and hot. We used it as a recovery stop between Durham and Salisbury on a busy 4 week trip in UK and it was affordable clean and restful."
