Beautiful building and interior. We came for our mini honeymoon and got ungraded. We had a congratulations note with chocolates in the room and rose petals scattered on a king size bed. Large room, large bathroom. Decent breakfast but quite minimalistic for £20/person.

Best in Reading

I have to give a shout out to Wictoria who worked at the reception and checked us in. First impressions make such a difference and she did ever so well. Very polite, engaging and even showed us to where we were to stay. We have two rooms. one studio and one very spacious flat with everything from a kitchen, to dining area to living room and balcony. Had a short but fantastic stay. Had breakfast from the buffet, but realised after that there were other options that could be ordered. Other than that, the staff were very helpful. Have less reason to be back soon, but would stay here again.
