This was pretty much a perfect overnight stay. The property was very easy to locate with plenty of parking and I was able to park very close to where I was staying. Staff was very polite and courteous when booking me in and showing me to my room. I have never walked in a hotel room to be greeted with such a clean and fresh smell and when I went out to get something to eat later that evening, when I returned the smell was as good as the first time. The room décor was smart and had everything I needed including a lovely compact kitchen with a fridge for my drinks. It was really nice and quiet and afforded a great night's sleep on a very comfy bed. Breakfast was served promptly to allow me to get on with my day and was really tasty. I would love to stay here again in the future.

This is a value for money spot as you have a microwave and refrigerator so can be quite independent. Parking is great and the accommodation was clean and spacious. Ideal

The hotel was good for the price, and the staff was very nice and helpful. The area around the hotel does look a little sketchy, but we never had any actual problems. The hallways did smell of weed/cigarettes, but once inside the room you couldn't smell anything. Overall, we had an enjoyable stay.

Only issue was the shower/bathroom. Couldnt open the window in the bathroom, had to put a bowl in window to keep it open. And shower head wasnt very good and took for ever to get hot water. But other then that the hotel was good. The bed was very comfy and slept very well. I would stay again.

The Sure, is an older property kept in good order and should be full every-night. It's humble, old school, charges a fair price for a comfortable stay. The water is hot, the bed is clean, the room was quiet, had a microwave, kettle and small fridge and a tv. Everything you need. Stay here.

Disappointing
Great service in sorting out a disabled parking space and ground floor room, but the room was badly laid out, with the only switch for the bedside light being by the single bed, not the double, meaning you had to get out of bed to turn off the lights and you couldn't read in bed. Also, though a desk was provided for work, there was no light by or near the desk and the overhead light was dim.

Lovely stay
I stay her every time I come to Reading, warm and friendly reception. The rooms are clean and warm with good facilities. The Oracle shopping centre is only a 15-20 minute walk away, but there are also plenty of local shops just around the corner

Run down in need of a refurb.
Run down rooms in need of a good clean and refresh. Very small room with tiny bathroom. The bed looked like the corners had been chewed by a dog! Breakfast was OK and the staff were pleasant but for the price I paid for a nights stay I would expect a much better standard of accomodation.

Great Weekend Stay
The room was spacious with 3 proper beds - often we get a camp bed style bed when we have a family room. We also didn't realize that there would be a microwave and a fridge in the room which was great to store bedtime milk in. Easy walking distance to the centre of Reading and the train station. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed our stay.

Building exterior was amazing, but deceptive of the rooms. Additionally, had a "standard" room that was nothing more than a broom closet in comparison to other "standard" rooms.
