10/10 Excellent

"A great little budget hotel. Have stayed here a few times now."

Malmaison Reading

"The hotel was spot on !! I had a few issues with booking but I spoke with Hotels.com and hotel direct and it got sorted"

Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading

"Excellent for the price! The only issues we had were that the breakfast wasn't great (and quite expensive for what it was), and the bathroom in our room smelt really bad (probably due to lack of windows). But for how cheap it was we were very happy with our stay - good location, comfy bed, helpful staff!"
