This room was amazing for the price. I asked a quiet area of the hotel and was put on the 12th floor at the end of a corridor and couldn’t hear a thing. Staff were efficient and quick to respond. Room was super spacious - modern bathroom with bath (from which you can view the tv!) and separate shower. Comfortable sofa. Lots of space. Handy mirror angles. Only downside was I don’t think the room had been cleaned in a couple of weeks / hasn’t had guests because it was VERY dusty. And the milk curdled in my tea and left it ‘chunky’ which was fairly rank. Aside from that would recommend and would go back.

職員友善,冷氣足夠,唯一不足係得1架lift,要等好耐。落樓可以用隔離ibis嘅lift。

The room is spacious and the location is very good. It is a 5-minute walk from Reading Railway Station and only one block away from the city center. There is a large supermarket next to it and a bus stop downstairs. The bar downstairs is very good. The bartender Alex is very enthusiastic. The cocktails he introduced to us were also very delicious. He also spoke Chinese and Cantonese to us. It seems that there are two Alexs from the pronunciation. We can't tell them apart. The shorter one is the bartender. The taller one also provides very good service. Thumbs up 👍

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.
