ibis Reading Centre

You don’t need to bring an alarm clock with you- the trash trucks come to collect trash sharp at 6 o’clock in every morning. However, still a good place to stay.

Location is perfect for access to train station & town, it was clean & great value for what we needed.

The location was very good, close to Reading train station and the bus stop for the RailAir bus to and from Heathrow. I could walk from the bus stop to the hotel even with a large suitcase and other bags. The hotel is on one of the main streets in Reading, so there is easy access to shopping and restaurants. During my stay my room was very quiet-I didn't hear any noise from other guest rooms or from the street outside. The room was a good size, with a desk that had enough room to use my laptop and tablet. There are power and USB sockets in good locations which allowed me to use and charge my electronic devices. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The shower was good with good temperature control and water flow. Breakfast was included in my booking and was very good, with a buffet that had a large variety of hot and cold food items. All of staff from the front desk, to the breakfast staff and housekeepers were very friendly and helpful. Tamas Racz the Front Office Manager was particularly helpful - I had problems with the card-key in the lift and to enter my room. Tamas came with me in the lift and to my room to check the problem. It turned out it was partly user error on my part. I would recommend this hotel, for a stay in Reading particularly if you are travelling by public transport.

I was stranded by a cancelled train and booked a room at the Ibis in Reading. The room was quiet, clean, and conveniently located near the train station. The room had a nice selection of coffee and tea. I only drink decaf, so was very pleased this was an option. There were a selection of restaurants closeby. I also walked to many tourist attractions. They also extended my reservation for another day with ease.

I really liked this hotel. It was just a short walk from the railway station, which was ideal for me as I was walking the Thames Path in stages. When I arrived I was given a choice of floors. Floor 10 was great. I left the window open and could barely hear the noise from the street. The window gave adequate ventilation and I didn't bother doing the aircon. Everything in the room worked and nothing was marked or chipped. The shower was good and the water from the tap was perfect..It was good to have really cold water to take on my daily walks. I had breakfast twice. There was a good variety and it was worth £12. The restaurant was pleasant, but they only served breakfast. I ate in the evening at two nearby Wetherspoons.
