Novotel Reading Centre

Near to where we needed to be, close enough to everything

No onsite parking Discount on nearest parking but a good 10 minute walk to the hotel

Didn't take breakfast

Everything is excellent

liked the breakfast and the location is great to go in and around Reading by train.

Booked half-board - expected a bit more for the dinner (had to pay for drinks and you need to choose between starter+main or main+dessert) ,but it was overall good.

Location was good. Clean and bright entrance. Reception staff was really kind. Clean room and bath room. The room as a whole was really good and spacious. We had everything we wanted. Except for breakfast and the room door tightness we had a good experience. We stay in Reading few times a month and this is the 1st time we booked Novotel. The hotel was a good experience relatively except for the breakfast.

On Tuesday, The Eastern European lady who was wearing white converse shoes, on breakfast duty was mortifying. She acted like no one else is above her. Was not welcoming at all. Food was truely tasteless. Sugar, coffee mugs, tongs, jam, sliced bread, weren't available by 9.30. Breakfast must be available until 10. The whole breakfast experience overall a was disaster. Vegetarian sausages were disgusting. Smelled like sombebody sprayed bleach on it. Sinks were taking forever to drain the water. Bathroom's floor tiles were extremely slipery when it was wet. And also not very spacious bathrooms. Doors are really tight. Multiple room numbers on the doors have damaged. Or missing.
