Kate B TripAdvisor review

Stayed over after shopping and night out. Hotel great location close to station, selection of pubs and restaurants and shops. Room was spotless and pillows very comfortable. Breakfast spread included fresh fruit, yogurt and seeds as well as usual full English. Also used the pool and steam room. Had a problem getting in as the room card key did not give me access so had to go back to reception to get it to work. Lockers in changing rooms had no idea how to use them so took stuff through to pool. All very clean. Would have been nice to have morning papers or selection magazines to read in breakfast room and or the seating area at front of hotel. All staff very helpful.

It's wonderful to know that you found the breakfast spread satisfactory and that the staff were very helpful during your stay.

We will address these issues with our team to ensure a smoother experience for our guests in the future. Regarding the suggestion for morning papers or magazines, we appreciate your input and will consider it for future improvements. We hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay.

I had always wanted to try the Novotel Reading because it is next to the IBIS I know quite well (very good too). I wanted a local getaway for my 50th and I was treated like a queen. I am very pleased with the overall experience.

A. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

Location is great. In the room the toilet is seperated and has no hand wash basin. The bathroom has a bath and a shower but the shower only worked on 2 settings: scold and boil. Room itself is a good size and clean. The fan did not work or not well enough. My room was boiling during the night despite me trying to adjusy fan speed and temp. Breakfast is rather diajointed. Hard to find many items. Had to ask staff 3 rimes to find milk, sugar and butter. Things should ne layed out properly. Breakast itself is nice.
