“Great hotel, not so great location”

Hotel is modern and clean, only downside is location which is on an industrial park not close to anything. if you are driving and just want somewhere to stay its great, but it cost £13 in a taxi to Reading town centre. Hotel pool was nice, same with sauna and spa. Great value for money, staff were helpful

“Will Use Again”

Lovely hotel with gym and pool which we enjoyed using. Situated on an industrial park so views not great but we were only staying for one night so were not bothered by this.

“Reading hotel”

Great hotel. Staff was very freindly, especially loved speaking with Mieke in the lounge area. She was extremely friendly and recommended things for us to do in area. Recommend "The George", a local pub within walking distance for food and drink. Hotel was very in more of an industrial complex so not much to do in immediate area. Very convenient to National Rail Winnersh Traingle stop. Reading station only a couple of stops away, which is major hub to anything in area. Would definitely stay there again!

“Holiday Inn, Reading”

Probably one of the nicer hotels I have stayed in, even got a late evening call to ask if everything was ok with my room, and if there was anything else they could do for me. It's not one of the cheapest but the amenites are good, with a spa and underground secure parking, it's easy to see what you pay for. Access to the lifts was via keycards which prevents non hotel residents getting access to all areas of the hotel, which made you feel safe and secure. The decor might not suit everyone being quite contemporary, but I found it calming and pleasant, and as a plus point they had all the freeview channels on the TV, rather than the poor quality terrestrial ones which is usually the case. The room had a fridge as well which was handy, hairdryer, iron, a desk and internet access for students and business users alike. The breakfast was first class, along with the staff. If I had to whine I'd say the bed was too small and soft for me, which was why I gave comfort 4 stars, but I still slept very well.

“Excellent hotel”

The hotel is new - so everything is fresh and clean. I went for the most expensive room and was surprised to find the quality so high for a Holiday Inn chain hotel. I travel a lot on business and the facilities/quality/food/customer experience would cost double anywhere else. Excellent value for money, without cutting corners. Please make sure you visit the spa for a relaxing swim, sauna and steam room. The food was excellent and not the normal microwaved selection in tiny portions. I always like to use room service for breakfast and was really impressed by the prices and quantity of what arrived at my door. Reception staff said Mon-Wed is really busy but is nice and quiet from Thurs-weekends, which is when I stayed. The hotel is perfect for anyone needing access to M4, M3 by car and has a train station opposite for travel into London or Reading.

“Poor Housekeeping”

Reception staff always friendly & courteous. Housekeeping not good. Going back to my room on the second night the glass of water I had by the bedside during the previous night was still where I had left it - with the water in it. The bathroom bin had been emptied, but the plastic bag with its contents had been left by the side of the sink. The next night a pair of blue rubber gloves had been left on the shelf above the coffee/tea making area. The next night the blue gloves were still on the shelf - in exactly the same place as the day before - and again my glass of water was on the bedside cabinet. I know it was Christmas but this is not the standard of a 4 star rated hotel. I did not need to use any restaurant facilities during my stay so cannot comment on these.
