I am not familiar with the other hotels in the surrounding area, but at least this one is in a good location. Very central. The really big inconvenience is that there are no sound proof windows. If you are facing the street, then you will hear the highway all the time and it is noisy! The garden side is very... More

I stayed in for one night and I must say the hotel is really stylish. The recepionist at the check in was very polite, welcoming and always smiled. The room was big although as stated on the previous review the bed was basically two single beds put together. Unfortunately the heating wasn't working, but the problem was sorted quickly as... More

The hotel rooms are average. However, keep in mind that most of the rooms in the region are small in size. I would probably get a much bigger room in Asia for the same daily tariff. The big positive about the hotel is the friendly staff. The upholstery in the rooms do need a uplift! The breakfast will keep you... More

I've stayed in the Reading Penta Hotel four times whilst working on the Reading Festival. I can't remember what it's previous name was, but in essence the Penta is an old hotel that has had a funky makeover, and despite a few little quirks I have to say that I think it works well. The reception area is a fusion... More

I stayed here for nearly 2 weeks, whilst attending a course with my employer. Although some of the rooms are on the small side, they are very clean. The bed was comfortable and the free wi fi and toiletries bag was a bonus. The hotel is a short walking distance from town. As it is so near to town the... More

Stayed here as it was walking distance to our office. Hotel was very comfortable hotel, probably targetted at the business traveller. All facilities were fine, rooms were comfortable. Breakfast good. Walking distance to plenty of restaurants and the town centre was only a few hundred metres away.

First impressions when i saw this hotel from the outside was, is this Planet Hollywood? The PH logo all lit up was exactly the same. Walked into reception and thought id walked into a bar. Well it was a bar! I thought where is reception? Couldnt tell where the bar ended and reception desk started. Found it, and checked in.... More

We stayed here for 2 nights for as my cousin was getting married locally, the rooms were clean, tidy and modern. Perfect location for Reading town centre as is just a short walk away. Highly recommended hotel for value for money.

This is a very nice and very good hotel, with some fantastic selling points. On a Sunday check-out is 15:00, and breakfast is served until 11:30 - perfect if you're after a relaxing weekend. In the room is the ability to hook up your laptop and there are plenty of power points in sensible places (next to the bed...etc). There... More
