Whilst Reading's road network may leave you a little worse for wear by the time you arrive, this hotel will not dissapoint. It is immaculately clean from the moment you enter the spacious and modern looking foyer. The staff were friendly throughout and the room was all you could want. Ok, the drinks and rooms are not cheap - but... More

Stayed at the Novotel in Reading for one night. Myself and my Mum decided to have a night away somewhere not too far away, but still close enough for a short trip (we live in Oxford) Arrived at the train station and it took minutes to walk to the hotel. Arrived at 10.30am and were told our room was available!... More

I arrived at the hotel late in the evening and have to admit that initially I found the road network around Reading to be confusing to say the least. Thankfully I dashed into the hotel and the man working behind reception was immediately very helpful. He grabbed a map from the desk , took a copy before showing me how... More

This hotel short walk from Reading railway station, handy for the Oracle shopping centre and other central Reading shops. The rooms are cleanly furnished, with flat screen televisions. There are some premium channels in the rooms (Sky One) and the television can be used for music playback (Bose Sound Docks are in Executive Rooms only) The bathroom is separated into... More

Got a great deal on this hotel online and booked mainly for the late check out (5 p.m). Was extremely pleasantly surprised. Room was great, clean and very modern up to the Bose iPod dock (had my iPod thanks to previous reviewer). Had some issues finding the car park but reception staff were very helpful and overall all the staff... More

Central high street location (next door to an IBIS hotel). I found the hotel difficult to find as Reading's one way system is a nightmare. It took me over an hour to travel just 3 miles and ended up in a bus lane, so I suggest you get the Sat Nav reference from the hotel (I phoned after an unsuccessful... More

Many thanks for your positive review on Novotel Reading. I am glad you enjoyed your stay with us. As regards direction to the hotel, the postcode to be used for the car park is indeed not the main one of the hotel but the one we give in the "Location and access" page of our website. This leads directly to... More
