"It’s an average hotel that does the job. Having to request and wait for an iron and ironing board doesn’t feel very “4 star”. Decent location for what I needed though and usually a decent rate compared with some other hotels in Reading city centre."

Also, be aware that use of the jacuzzi costs an additional 25, which we only found out after booking ..."
