Unfortunately I checked Trip Advisor before booking into Belle Vue House. It was however, very close to our friends who we were visiting. Bobbi (Landlady) seemed pleasant when introduced us to our room. The room however, as I huge disappointment. It was rather small and looked a bit dated. There was a crack in the window and the floorboards were... More

I stayed at the belle vue for approx 6 weeks 2nights a week whilst working in reading. I stayed and paid for a budget room which if I'm honest was pretty grim but where possible if there were rooms available the manager upgraded me to a higher priced room for free which were all ensuite and newly refurbished and very...

Had to come to reading for one night and for £40 I thought the Belle Vue would be adequate, but I was wrong! From the moment I walked in the door the manager would not stop complaining. Then my room...well you couldn't swing a cat in it! plaster was falling off the walls, literally - you could see bits of... More

rooms basic, and in need of refurbishment. However, very clean and pleasent stay. if you need somewhere that is cheap and cheerful to get your head down, and not too bothered about all the necessities that come with larger hotels, then i strongly reccomend this hotel.

I would strongly advise Premier Inn, the manager "Bobby" wouldnt stop whinging and the whole place needs renovating!! Smelly yellow duvet and pillows yuk !!

I had a night out In Reading, which normally costs me £4 to get the train/bus in and £35-40 to get a taxi back home. So 40-50 quid just for travel in and out. I found this place on laterooms for £30 with plenty of free parking (Reading Central Travelodge is fine but there's no parking)! Ok so the room... More

Pleasant, clean, comfortable and good location. Very slightly let down by the state of repair (e.g. could do with replacement door locks) but only a small gripe, and it's a nicer hotel than many of the chains. Good advance prices as well.

I stayed at Belle Vue Hotel for 5 nights on Bed and Breakfast basis. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from Reading West station and about 10 minutes from Reading Town Centre. Check in was straightforward and I was given a room on the first floor. The room itself was not huge but adequate, the single bed was extremely... More
