Novotel Reading Centre

Twin rooms booked. Decor fine. Beds large and comfortable. Nice pillows too! Hotel location excellent. We used the pool which was lovely. Good to be able to park on site. We had to check out early, so couldn't stay for breakfast.

I liked this Hotel a lot. It appears very modern. My room was nice and clean and quite spacious. The bathroom had both a shower and a separate bath. The staff were very helpful & friendly. Although I didn’t purchase anything it looked like they had huge vending machines opposite reception that appeared to sell alcohol & snacks. Possibly when the Bar is closed. I can’t confirm this but on reflection it seems to me to be a good idea. The location of the Hotel was great for The Face Bar if you are into going to Gigs. That was the purpose of my stay anyway.

The location was perfect: the hotel was smack in the middle of the city centre yet there was no noise at all from our bedroom. Just 2 minutes walk from the train station, high street and Oracle shopping centre. Room was standard size with separate bath and shower facilities in the bathroom so that was awesome. Breakfast was superb with varied hot and cold options. The kids loved the pancake maker and endless supply of Nutella.

Facilities such as bar were great, very clean and presentable hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful, great customer service. We did not get disturbed by noise.

I had informed Daniel that although I was there for business, my partner was going to join me to celebrate our anniversary. Daniel and hotel staff surprised us with some cake which was a fabulous gesture. They also accommodated my partner whilst I went to the office until I was able to collect him for us to travel back to London. I remain humbled and grateful.
