It was awful. Too noisy to sleep well. To be fair it was cheap and was all that was available with Reading being so busy. The man at reception was polite and nice natured but the place was horrendous. Go into this place with your eyes open.

Very grumpy man at reception - facilities highly basic - don't pay too much for this property or you may be sorely disappointed
hand basin in room from day one, was not functioning /draining efficiently. Also, I had to repair the tv ariel to obtain a signal and adjust colour/contrast to get a decent picture.

Do not stay here!
Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The sponge mattress had a large lump missing, dirt up the walls. The walls are so thin that getting any sleep is difficult. I could hear everything happening in the next room. The shared bathroom was new, have to wait a while for the hot water and was the nicest part of the stay.

Basic
Absolute basic hotel for a very low price. If all you want is a bed for the night it is fine but if you want anything else you will have to go somewhere else and pay more.

This place stank of cannabis at the door so I walked away and booked elsewhere. Not surprisingly, they refuse to refund. The police and environmental health have been requested to help.
I'm not that desperate for £80 but they won't get it without a fight!
