I cannot fault the staff, the rooms or the attention to detail at all. My overall rating was unfortunately due to the fire alarm going off at 0130 this morning, due to a fault. It made for quite a disturbed nights sleep.

Friendly staff and attentive service. Very clean, simple rooms with pretty good noise management although some late night noise from nearby bars/clubs. Very convenient to station and Reading is extremely well serviced by buses. Would recommend.
