The place is functional and spotless, everything is amazing, it should have higher than 4 star rating. The food offer is nice. Very central location, a 10-15 minute walk from a riverside park😀

You can eat at Cosmo, which is set 400 metres away from the property. Wonderful local attractions like the oracle were in front of the hotel. Train station Reading was less than 5 minutes walk away. We strongly recommend the venue and staff...
