Hotel is in a very good location in the centre of Reading. It has good gym, fun and free games in the lobby and nice cocktails. The bed was comfortable and the room was nice, however the only reason I've given this 4 stars is due to the room smelling of stale smoke. Other than that we would definitely return and would recommend to others.
