What a gem of a place. The welcome was warm, and despite the police sirens around Reading central, the room itself was very quiet. Although the room was described as having a large bed, in fact it had two singles, it was comfortable enough. The towels were exquisite, and the cooked breakfast equally so. Highly recommended for the price and warm hospitality.
Nice little pub near by. Very pleasant, helpful folks. Did everything to make my stay outstanding.!
Was willing to go over and above to make my stay the best. Thank you, and will come back as you showed outstanding hospitality!!!
The room was in very bad shape. The cupboard had a door with broken mirror. The size of the room was too small. There was a toilet shared between two rooms & it was too small. There was no water bottle or tap in or around room. On top of it there were bugs in the bed.
I am surprised how Hotels.com is allowing to book such facilities on their site.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Adequate guesthouse in Reading. Would stay again.
First and foremost it's a Guesthouse. Shared toilet and bathroom facilities (sink in the room). It serves a function. Dont expect luxury. I would stay there again. Staff are very friendly, and welcoming. Breakfast was good. Bed a little soft for my liking but fine.
TV did not work. The shower was not the easiest but could be figured out. Otherwise, the room was comfortable and clean. Furnishings are a bit outdated and could be refurbished but the bed was comfortable. The staff is very nice and the breakfast quite generous.
Clean, comfy bed, nice people who run it, handy location, reasonably priced compared to the big hotel's around the corner and a warm welcome.
I recommend this place for a short or overnight stay.
The Hotel needs to be honest when booking if they are hosting permanent residents on behalf of the council, one of whom was being spoken to by the police when I booked in. I was moved to another room. Not a good first impression.
the room itself was cold as the heating was turned off.The staff were helpful., but overall i'm afraid I won't be staying again.
Twin room with ensuite up 2 flights of narrow steep unlit stairs. Could not fully open the door due lack of space. Full English breakfast not quite full and rushed. Not allowed to sit in dining area ( the only common area) to do planning and paperwork. Wi-Fi questionable. No space in room so sat on the stairs to do planning and paperwork.
Overall, very disappointing and the best part was handing the key back on departing.

The hosts were very welcoming.
Room was nice albeit on second floor
Relatively close to city centre so could walk or get bus. Plenty of shops and a 0leasant street
Friendly good food ,convenient place to both town and theatre in easy walking distance ,dining room needs a refresh, on busy road lots of traffic noise ,some of the area needs a good clean up
