Pros: For location and value, you can’t do much better than this hotel. Just around the corner from the main station, with lots of shops, bars and restaurants in walking distance, it’s ideally situated to explore in and around the city centre. Rooms are clean and solid but nothing spectacular. Staff are friendly too. All in all, very good value.

Pros: The hotel is positioned right in the centre of Reading and a 2 minute walk from the train station. The bed was extremely comfy and the duvet and pillows were excellent quality.
Cons: The colour scheme in the room was shades of grey and was very dark overall. The lighting was poor which meant it was difficult to apply make-up as the bathroom mirrors were not easy to get close up to due to the depth of the sinks - a small extendable mirror would have been useful. The bathroom was really cold as it was not heated. There was no free water in the room which was disappointing.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Location was brilliant for a night out in Reading – so close to town centre.
Cons: The only complaint I could have was the noise from the street/traffic was a little loud. We had a twin room on the front of the hotel, which is basically on top of an underpass. Maybe I'm just too used to living in a quiet street though.

Pros: Breakfast was good and so is the service at the reception.
Cons: Lack of elevator to the rooms is a killer. Carrying your suitcases to the 2nd floor will be challenging to many.
5,0 Okay
Pros: Funky old building. Picturesque derelict outside a nice Dickensian/Victorian touch. Good position for station and Cote Brassserie. Hotel breakfast somewhat down-at-heel - but great scrambled eggs.
Cons: Ambiance of Reading. Obvious commercial pressures on management and staff.

7,9 Good
Pros: Comfortable Clean Good breakfast Decent location Pleasant staff, very quick to act when my allocated room was already occupied
Cons: It was a bit tatty in places, particularly the broken wardrobe & missing pipe boxing Some pealing paint Mastic around bath needs sorting out I was in room 30, top floor, a bit of a hike up when you have had a couple of beers
8,0 Excellent
Pros: Small but good value en-suite single room, good breakfast. Decent pub with micro-brewery downstairs. 10 mi9n walk to station.
Cons:
6,0 Good
Pros: It was clean and the staff were friendly. Great location, and great shower in the ensuite!
Cons: It was cold, the extra heaters already in the room didn't switch on. Once under the duvet it was fine. Could really do with an iron though.
4,0 Okay
Pros: Location was good - handy for riverside area with lots of places to eat in the evening and on direct bus route between railway station and university. The staff I saw were friendly.
Cons: Noise - the bar was LOUD and noisy in my room. 1st night was football. 2nd night quiz night (I could hear the questions & answers in my room!). 3rd night was loud music. Nowhere quiet at all & no chance of getting to sleep early. Cleaning - each day the bedclothes were straightened, towels hung up, tea bags replaced, and main bin emptied. That was it. Bathroom bin not emptied on any day, No vacuuming (new socks shed fluff so it was obvious). Bathroom not even wiped around (stray long hairs obvious). Nothing bad enough to specifically actively complain about, especially as nothing at all can be done about the noise and there are no 'hotel' staff in the evenings, only the bar staff. I don't understand how it meets 4 star rating requirements.
With a stay at Relaxinnz Great Expectations in Reading, you'll be within a 5-minute drive of Reading Abbey Ruins and Madejski Stadium.
Whether you're sightseeing, working or visiting Reading University, you can expect clean, comfortable and affordable accommodation at Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading. This eye-catching red and grey brick building was originally constructed in the 1800s as a house in the same style as the famous Huntley & Palmers biscuit factory. The hotel is in a quiet spot opposite a lovely church but within walking distance of Reading town centre (less than a mile away) and Reading University (half a mile away). Each of our simply furnished en-suite rooms comes with a fridge and microwave, along with Freeview TV and tea and coffee-making facilities. Some feature a kitchenette, so you have everything you need to store and heat up food in the comfort of your room. Our reception is open 24 hours a day and, as part of your stay, you'll get complimentary use of our onsite gym, plus free Wi-Fi and parking. This enables you to leave your car at the hotel and walk or catch the bus into the centre of Reading so you don't have to pay parking fees. If you're here on a sightseeing trip, there's plenty to see and do in the region, including Windsor Castle (21 miles away), Legoland (18 miles) and Cliveden House (20 miles). The hotel is also just over a mile from Reading station, which has connections to London and Heathrow and Gatwick Airports.

Complete with original features, including the original timbers in the main entrance, the hotel provides a throwback to the city's great and varied heritage. The stylish bedrooms each have a private modern bathroom, while modern facilities are provided throughout. Guests can also enjoy authentic Italian cuisine in Prezzo restaurant.

Pros: Breakfast was nasty, horrible cheap sausages, solid fried eggs and odd, orange coloured mushrooms? The location is perfect, close to the Oracle and Riverside. Using the hotel parking concession ticket, parking is relatively inexpensive and a short walk away. The hotel is poorly ventilated, rooms and corridors are hot. The bar closes quite early and has no ales, although the staff are delightful. My rooms and those occupied by my three colleagues were all far away from reception, up and down steep stairs and following a labyrinth of very narrow corridors. I was able to access my room from three different routs and only got lost twice. This is "quaint", but a nightmare if you are carrying luggage. There are no lifts and one of the staircases was extremely steep, narrow and turned through 90 degrees, so the steps were very shallow. Despite my multiple reservations about the hotel, I would on balance probably stay there again...

Pros: Location more than everything
Cons: Smell of spices and curry reception area all day long and all night long which was very awful,and its not nice to welcome people in that smell , nice smell of lavender or cotton fresh deodorizer would been a lot far better. Bathroom sink had no mixer so its either very cold water or very hot water...breakfast was poor.... The lady at the breakfast was so rude with us that was duty on friday , saturday , sunday...a bit chabby with long blonde hair. On the photos when i booked there was English Breakfast included and there was not , so i asked her and told us you have to order when you come in and we cook it,if i never asked we never knew, we expected that she let us know when entering the breakfast room. Then the following day my husband told her can “is it possible please to have a cooked breakfast ?”,and she turned back and said to him will you give me time until you seat and he told her i just asked i did not tell you to cook it now.... Then he told her i ll put you on the reviews and she replied “ok thanks,no problem at all” She’s the most rude person we ever met in our life....we are catching up a new business in Reading and we were going to be their customers for good,but because of that arrogant lady,no way we go back there.
