Reading Hotels with Bars

Nice hotel, really helpful reception staff. The room was cold but the reception ladies helped me suss the heating. The TV kept cutting out every few minutes. Great breakfast. If you want a big night out, stay here on a Saturday night as you can check out at 3pm. If you have an early start I would avoid as the internal noise of people coming in late and banging doors/street noise is loud.

Two lifts out of three not working. Remaining one had no light except the glow from the control panel. We were floor 9. Lift took us to 4, then 13, then 10, then 4, then basement, and back to ground floor. My wife has claustrophobia and does not like small dark enclosed spaces. Helpful staff led us through to next-door Ibis where lifts were working and illuminated, and gave us a card to use them. Price of Snickers bar and similar items is £2.49. Costs 99p in small store just along the road. Room was OK when we finally got to it, but initial experience puts us off using Novotel again.

UK team meeting hosted at the hotel for 3 days. Excellent service, and a terrific location. Our visitors from abroad loved the views of the river. Facilities were top notch, and particularly noted that we had none of the usual connectivity issues when speaking to team members worldwide. A number of the team stayed at the hotel and I’ve had very favour feedback.Special thanks to Isabel, Federica and general manager Anne for looking after us for the week.

The good part: Staff are very friendly although check-in seems to take a little longer than Premier Inn, the reception area and seating to relax looks fantastic and the pizzas that the staff make 24/7 are absolutely delicious. The drink & pizza prices are reasonable. Location wise is spot on, just a two minute walk from the train station and central to everything. They provide more variety of tea & coffee in rooms, such as fruit & herbal teas, and decaff coffee, this totally beats any other budget hotel. Bad points: This is a cashless hotel & this is something i'm firmly against for a variety of reasons they lost £200 in sales due to this from myself & friends. The pillows are rock hard and kept waking up with a sore neck, the beds are also uncomfortable and feels like your sleeping on the floor. The noise from housekeeping is absolutely atrocious all you hear from several floors above and below, are the staff dragging large heavy trollies around and this goes on from 11am to 4pm if you need to sleep during the day forget it. The toilets smell of sewage & urine so sometimes you return back to your room and it stinks. There is also construction work ongoing Monday-Friday until Nov 2022 yet the prices are still very high. The cooling systems seem to work fine for an hour or so but then quickly the room becomes stuffy and warm, due to the location having the window open is very noisy especially at weekends.

We stay at Hilton Reading to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. First we would like to say thank you to Ferooz for accomodation and Jana for the accomodation and lovely prosecco .Then we would like to say thank you to Lorena and Kornelia for the room decoration and to Daniel for early check-in. Everything was perfect. The staff was helpful, the accomodations were beautiful and the breakfast was superb. It couldn't have been better. Thanks . We had a wonderfull stay at Hilton Reading.Our room was clean, spacious with great amenities and a confortable bed.Thank you again to the wonderfull team.

Good location, five minutes walk from Reading Railway Station. The entrance is a street garden. Opposite is the office building. The room was on the back floor and looked like a new one, but it didn't taste much. The room is large, the bathroom is large, and it is very comfortable. Breakfast is not bad, there are not many options, but it tastes good. There is a parking lot.

Exceptional service from booking to checkout. True definition of going the extra mile to ensure every aspect of our stay was as expected. Exceptional customer service from senior management to customer facing staff at reception. Vivek, Catia and Riko… your energy and passion ooze through every interaction and is contagious! Every staff member at every interaction is approachable, a special mention to Nicola and Fariha at reception; very helpful and friendly while well presented and professional. Your cleanliness and attention to detail and person centred approach has blown us away. We are well travelled, but see ourselves returning to you no matter what event or occasion we are celebrating. From birthdays, relaxing adult only weekends, family breaks, team building weekends… There is nothing we would not trust the hotel staff to manage. Thank you for making us feel part of the Voco Reading family, best #IHG hotel in this part of England, and we are definitely coming back. Excellent value for money for the service you provide!

the second i checked in got a very warm welcome from Safia and Prachi which made me feel very happy and is clear that the staff care about their jobs, even though the staff where polite the food was undercooked on multiple occasions during my stay which had also made vomit, i personally think the managers should be more on top of food quality.

This hotel is more retro, there is no elevator, but the environment is very good, the front desk is very warm, will help to put the luggage into the room, after check-out, free storage of luggage for three or four days does not matter, the service staff is very enthusiastic. Breakfast can order, tastes good.
