This room was simple, but clean and the shower was good. The owner gave me an upgrade so that I did not have to share a bathroom. For the price, it exceeded my expectations.

It's cheap and adequate, beds are comfortable enough; however, the wifi wasn't good enough to stream TV which when is pretty essential to pass time when working away from home.

Basic

Absolute basic hotel for a very low price. If all you want is a bed for the night it is fine but if you want anything else you will have to go somewhere else and pay more.

It was awful. Too noisy to sleep well. To be fair it was cheap and was all that was available with Reading being so busy. The man at reception was polite and nice natured but the place was horrendous. Go into this place with your eyes open.

Do not stay here!

Worst hotel. The sponge mattress had a large lump missing, dirt up the walls. The walls are so thin that getting any sleep is difficult. You can hear everything happening in the next room. The shared bathroom was new, have to wait a while for the hot water, but this was the nicest part of the stay.
