Was Gäste sagen

Im Novotel Reading Centre loben Reisende durchweg die verkehrsgünstige Lage im Stadtzentrum in der Nähe des Bahnhofs und das freundliche Personal. Viele schätzen den Pool und die Freizeiteinrichtungen, während zu den wiederkehrenden Nachteilen veraltete Zimmer, Wartungsprobleme, Straßenlärm und schwierige Parkmöglichkeiten zählen.

Probleme mit der Klimaanlage oder Heizung, langsame Aufzüge und Probleme mit den Schlüsselkarten tauchen in mehreren Bewertungen auf. Die Sauberkeit ist im Allgemeinen akzeptabel, obwohl verschmutzte Teppiche und gelegentliche Mängel im Badezimmer erwähnt werden. Erwarten Sie einen gut gelegenen Aufenthalt mit Freizeitvorteilen, der durch einige Abnutzungserscheinungen und Stadtlärm ausgeglichen wird.

Ausstattung

Die Freizeiteinrichtungen (Pool, Sauna, Dampfbad und kleiner Fitnessraum) sind für viele ein Highlight, werden aber gelegentlich wegen Wartungsarbeiten geschlossen. Die Parkmöglichkeiten sind begrenzt, teuer und umständlich zu erreichen, und die Aufzüge sind oft langsam oder teilweise außer Betrieb.

Staff were very polite and helpful, all though some of the front desk staff don\'t have the best English-speaking skills. Parking is a nightmare. The hot"c" el parking is EXTREMELY limited, and you have to get a map emailed to you from the hotel in order to find the gate and get buzzed into the patking area which is really only suits small cars. Our Citroën Grand C4 Spacetourer barely fit between the lines.

We had such a good time staying over a weekend! Hotel is in a very good, convenient, central location in the middle of Reading with the train station, bus stops, restaurants, and shops very close to the hotel. Our favourite part of the trip was the free access to gym/pool/sauna/steam room - we had so much fun, the pool is a fantastic size with a few sun loungers around it. We parked at the Broad Street Mall car park (short walk away) - lots of spaces and the hotel gives a discounted rate when you give them the ticket at checkout. Excited to come back!

Disappointed to find out on arrival that the pool and sauna was closed for maintenance. This is the only reason I booked this hotel. Also, the Guinness is the disgusting, stay clear of that.

Good location right in the city centre. Getting to the car park is not easy and the parking spaces are tiny and expensive. Reception was pleasant, and we had a room facing the back of the hotel. View isn’t good but it likely quieter as the other side faces the busy high street with bars and clubs. Room was just fine, only complaint was half a dozen holes in the curtains which makes it look scruffy and unloved. Very clean hotel and room. Breakfast is good quality and Klara the lady running the breakfast room was a ray of sunshine and a real credit to the hotel and its brand. Would stay there again.

Booked up 5 days in advance and choose this hotel because of the facilities like swimming pool sauna, and the morning before I was due to check in they emailed saying all of them facilities was closed as I was working that day it didn’t give me a chance to look for another hotel. Plus my plug in the sink was also broken I did inform them straight away but it was never fixed

Overall it was a good stay, but there were a few things that concerned me. My room didn't feel completely clean when I arrived. I found bits of food near the curtains, and weird red/pink stains on the floor? Like nail varnish? Also the external door for returning at night didn't work. on 3 occasions I had to wait for staff to notice me to let me in.

The pool was a really welcome facility. Friar Street can have some characters around, but it's very convenient for the station and the shops.

Die Zimmer reichen von komfortabel bis veraltet und manchmal klein; mehrere bemängeln dünne Fenster und erheblichen Straßenlärm. Die Temperaturregelung ist inkonsistent (zu heiß oder zu kalt), und einigen gefällt das getrennte WC/Bad-Layout nicht, während höhere Stockwerke eine gute Aussicht bieten können.

The hotel is starting to look quite dated now, and the lack of any cool air flow makes for an uncomfortable night, especially when on the 12th floor as we were! The location is good, and the staff were all friendly, it was more that the rooms suggested they needed to be brought up to standard with modern 4* hotels.

When we came back they had but the people who did had left our door on snib so the door to our hotel room was open the entire time . I went and complained whilst my friend checked the room . As you can imagine we were very unhappy , 2 girls staying on our own . They refunded my parking as by way of an apology in the evening but had to chase in the morning. Room was uber noisy no sound proofing, all in all a highly stressful stay which was meant to be a birthday treat.

Comfortable bed, in a quiet & nice-sized room. Very conveniently located, 3 minutes from the train station & RailAir bus stop (to LHR) — as well as being right by the high street & some nice restaurants. Close to the Oracle mall for more shops and a selection of restaurants along the river. Look forward to returning in the future!

Aufenthalt für eine Nacht

It took me 3 attempts to find a room that did not have a problem. The lock on the door of the first room did not work and it would not open. The staff changed me to another room - the desk light in the second room did not work properly and it would randomly flicker on and off - also, when off, one could hear the mains power crackling which, to me, is a dangerous fire hazard. The final, 3rd room was okay, it worked okay but had a very dirty and stained carpet - it too me over an hour to get to this point. The Reception Staff did try to help as best they could but there was no one that could help them or me. Breakfast the next day was poorly serviced. I got to breakfast at 9:15am and found - no scrambled egg, no black pudding, no bacon, no beans, orange juice dispenser finished, no smoked salmon. To give them their due, the staff, when I mentioned these, made great efforts to fix these problems. My summary is that the hotel is in a good location but it is in serious need of refurbishment. Add to this, it was apparent that the hotel was seriously understaffed with friendly and helpful staff members doing the best that they could manage with no available resource. Everyone did the best that they could.

Hotel is fairly priced. Room was freezing - I had to put heating on when I got back in room after being out with colleagues. The area is HORRID. Rubbish bags everywhere. Loads of homeless beggars wondering around. A lot hang around near the hotel entrance. Doesn’t feel safe at all. You’ve no chance of having a cigarette / vape in peace outside the hotel. Same findings as last time I was there for work. Horrid City/Town. Hotel itself is fine for the money.
