The price is proportional to the quality. The boss is very nice and always ready to help. The breakfast is good and the chef is very warm. We went out for lunch and brought our own sandwiches. The chef helped to toast the toast and wrapped it in tin foil for us!

The photos of rooms on the website were misleading. Staff greated us in a foreign language. No shoes Place smelt. Stairs dirty. Basement room smelt damp. No bathroom. Would not recommend staying here

Stay at Bow Guest house reading. My stay at the bow guest house was really good. From checking in made welcome with such a friendly greeting. I had a single room with shared bathroom. It was ok for 1 night stay. Clean and comfy. The breakfast was really good. There was ceriel with fresh orange. Full english with 2 toast, cooked to good standard. Again friendly lady who was serving and cleaning after each table cleared. 👍 You couldnt ask for more. The guest house is close to lots of eaterys and take aways. The bus stop is at the end of the next street. I ate at the Burger den on the corner of Waylen street reading. The best chicken fillet buger i have had . I would recoment this guest house for short stays.

Despite some negative reviews, I decided to give this guesthouse a try, and I'm glad I did. Bed was comfortable, and the owner was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included ,which was a nice perk. It’s conveniently located close to town, and only a 12-minute walk from the train station. Overall, a solid choice for the price!
