Francis from inriminihotels.com
The hotel was conveniently located just a few minutes' walk from the train station, making it easy to access from/to the railway station. The staff were friendly, polite, and approachable, providing excellent service. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with amenities like tea/coffee making facilities, a hairdryer, and a wall-mounted television. The bed was firm and very comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The views from the 13th floor were absolutely spectacular, giving a great glimpse of the city.
Nothing, everything was great!

We loved the location of this hotel. It was incredibly convenient for our visit, being a short walk from the train station and close to various shops, supermarkets, and eateries. We also appreciated that it was away from the noisy bar scenes on the streets, allowing for a peaceful stay right in the city center. Additionally, the staff were exceptional, with the reception team, team leader, and kitchen staff being professional. The general manager's presence overseeing the business was also impressive. we felt at home thanks to their excellent service.

I recently stayed at a hotel in Reading and had an excellent experience. The hotel was clean and well-maintained, with spacious rooms that were equipped with everything I needed. The location was perfect, as it was within walking distance to the train station and bus network. Additionally, the staff was friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable. The buffet breakfast offered a wide range of options, including vegan and gluten-free choices, which was a pleasant surprise. I was impressed with the hotel's cleanliness, facilities, location, and the helpfulness of the staff.
Couldn't find any faults at all.
