Holiday Inn Reading South M4 Jct11 by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful. Breakfast was excellent!"

Milton Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was easy, our room was available early. This is a big hotel, very much like a rabbit warren! Staff provided a map with clear instructions how to reach our rooms, which were situated in the rather grim looking Garden Rooms block. Inside, the room was spacious, well appointed with plenty of USB sockets. The ensuite was quite small, but everything worked and some toiletries were provided. There is a TV with a small selection of terrestrial stations available to view. The bed was comfortable and the room clean and tidy. We had an early start the following morning, so we asked if we could arrange breakfast before the usual time. They were happy to do this and provided take away boxes, although we didn't realise they were going to put out cereals, had this been the case we would have gone down earlier. We had dinner the night before in the restaurant (there were 10 of us), so had pre booked a table. The menu is extensive with a wide range of food to suit all tastes, including plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. They also cater for allergies with a separate section for coeliacs. The food was very good. There are plenty of comfortable lounges to relax in, a swimming pool and other leisure facilities. There was no water in the bedroom, but there are beverage stations located in various areas around the hotel, so we grabbed a bottle from one of those. There is plenty of parking, and the hotel is easy to locate from the A34. We would recommend this hotel."

Novotel Reading Centre

6/10 Okay

"We chose this hotel over another (cheaper) hotel, because this one had a pool, sauna and steam room. Which we thought would be great after a weekend of Spartan races nearby. However the pool was really cold, and the sauna wasn’t hot. The thermometer in there read 45°. On the other hand, our hotel room was very hot, we needed the window open to let in a small breeze, but it wasn’t enough, so we didn’t sleep very well. Also, at around 3:30am, some sort of loud fire alarm went off and we were all woken up by it. As we had to have the window open, all we could hear was the town centre nightlife, it was very loud and hard to fall asleep listening to the shouting and screaming of people out on the town. This was all very disappointing. The hotel was clean, the bed was very comfortable and it was perfectly situated near shops, food outlets and the car park we used wasn’t far to walk to and from. We used the Broad Street car park, which the hotel discounted to just £7 for 24 hours use, rather than paying £21 for their own Carpark overnight. Check in was smooth, the receptionist was professional and knowledgeable. "

ORIDA Hotels Newbury

6/10 Okay

"We had emailed to say our flight was delayed and we would be late. Arrived at 1am, and night staff clearly hadn’t seen the message. The room was cold and the bedside lamp was broken. The toilet was blocked (though this was cleared during breakfast in the morning). Apart from the broken light and blocked toilet, the room was quite shabby with torn wallpaper and missing grouting in the shower. It all looked a bit dated except for the huge wall-mounted TV. The bed was comfortable and we did sleep ok. Breakfast was fine, and the staff helpful. The breakfast room itself was bright and airy. At £95 for bed and breakfast, I wasn’t impressed. I’ll doubt I’ll stay again."
