Nice hotel and good location near the station . Great sized bed and spacious room . Plug in bath and sink tap both needed a bit of t&c

Simon
Always having to wait for the lifts, even though there are 3 here, there not always working... apart from this inconvenience the hotel is very good
Alister
Bar area wasn’t as relaxing as it could have been and we didn’t particularly enjoy the walk to and from the car park
Bruce
We stayed here because we have found Novotel perfect for our needs before, as a stop over on the way to Heathrow. Nice clean room with good shower. Quiet. 5 minute walk to RailAir bus stop. Will use again.
Rebecca
We chose this hotel over another (cheaper) hotel, because this one had a pool, sauna and steam room. Which we thought would be great after a weekend of Spartan races nearby. However the pool was really cold, and the sauna wasn’t hot. The thermometer in there read 45°. On the other hand, our hotel room was very hot, we needed the window open to let in a small breeze, but it wasn’t enough, so we didn’t sleep very well. Also, at around 3:30am, some sort of loud fire alarm went off and we were all woken up by it. As we had to have the window open, all we could hear was the town centre nightlife, it was very loud and hard to fall asleep listening to the shouting and screaming of people out on the town. This was all very disappointing.
The hotel was clean, the bed was very comfortable and it was perfectly situated near shops, food outlets and the car park we used wasn’t far to walk to and from. We used the Broad Street car park, which the hotel discounted to just £7 for 24 hours use, rather than paying £21 for their own Carpark overnight.
Check in was smooth, the receptionist was professional and knowledgeable.

We stayed in a standard double room, which was spacious, very clean, with a super comfortable bed! I slept like a log!
The staff were all friendly and helpful. We had a swim in the pool, which although small, was excellent for swimming lengths and was a nice temperature. We ate at the restaurant, which served pub grub and was very tasteful. So why not 5 stars? The toilet in the room was separate to the shower and bath, and also the sink. It would have been nice to have a little sink in the toilet, as in the night you had to feel around for 2 rooms! There was no room service at all. There was a page on the app but in the restaurant the server told us you'd have to order downstairs and take the food up yourself. Most concerning, the pool was unmanned. No one was in that area at all. We had to sign a waver form before using it, so don't use the pool on your own. There was a panic pull outside the sauna but if you had an accident or you needed help away from the pull cord, I'm not sure how long it would be before someone found you.Lastly, there is a small amount of parking on site but you need to phone in advance to book this at £21. Overall a lovely hotel and we would stay here again.

A nice 4 night stay at the Novotel.
Things that were good - room size , cleanliness . The amount of phone repair shops in Reading city centre - 22 !!! Mmm wonder why ???
The could have been better - the need to security check your room key in the lift was not working. There was no security check being done so anyone could have come into the hotel and got to any floor !
The hotel carpark - the spaces are so small, we were a cm off a pillar to get the car in. It is not suitable for modern big cars . We had to try 5 spaces before squeezing the car in.
Deffo go for a room at the back of the hotel and high floor due to the street noise .

Room was clean and decent size for family of 4 however it was extremely hot. Couldn’t sleep first night however next morning we raised this issue and was provided with fans. Saw other guests complaint about same issue so I guess it’s common. Parking was stressful, their carpark was expensive and full so had to quickly drop everything then park at the mall carpark for £7 a day. No cars allowed in front of hotel except for buses. You have to go around to get to the hotel carpark
Graham
Good central location- only down side was the frequency of the lift- a little slow.
Mariana
Poorly maintained. Carpet needs a cleaning, you can hear all the neighbours
Sulesh
Comfortable stay with good facilities and great spread of breakfast!
Rupert
Only one lift running for maintenance
Since rooms have been done up they smell of hospital disinfectant
Gym is very small and seems to be full of staff at peak times

Nice stay for the evening. Central location, rooms were clean, many power and USB charge points in the room and staff were friendly and welcoming.
Areas to improve:
- room cards kept getting de-magnetised. Need to pop down to reception multiple times.
- room toilet fixtures should be updated. A bit nitty but tap in my room was positioned pretty awkwardly to use.

This is our go to hotel when travelling to Reading. Hotel is clean, staff friendly, excellent breakfast, pool, sauna. Its location is a short walk to the town centre and the Oracle shopping area and canal side restaurants. The train station is also a short walk to take you into London, Windsor, Oxford or any other places to visit

Beth
Novotel Reading is our go to hotel when staying in Reading - this was our 4th stay this year alone. Reception friendly and professional as always. Requested room at back of hotel away from Friar Street and given room 903. Smaller room than we usually have, but fine for one night. Once again couldnt get the bath to switch from shower to fill the bath - same problem as previous stay in room 1016. Staff came up to see if could be solved but couldnt - frustrating. Carpets and curtains in room very shabby and no bathrobes or bottled water as usually have. Bed comfy but room very warm even with window open and fan on. Pool lovely as always. Breakfast good choice once again. Already have a booking for next year.
Lynsey
Looked a little tired.
Erica
The only reason for the lower rating was the noise from the bars and disco below. Kept us up until very late. It would be much better if they had some sort of noise blocking barrier or at least a warning. We left exhausted. Otherwise the hotel was clean and nice.

Lovely clean, comfortable hotel right in the centre of Reading, only a short walk away from the train station. The bed was very comfortable (a firm mattress, as I like it). Breakfast options were abundant and the quality was excellent. Overall this place is great value for money, will definitely stay here again!
Marissa
Ok
Michael
Room was clean and bed was comfy. Although the room was very hot even with the fan on and window open it felt like you were in a sauna. We had problems with the room key card. It deactivated its self 4 times in 2 days. This was a little annoying as we were staying on the 12th floor and the lifts were always busy.
Anne

Jacqui
Good and not so good!
Great location and staff helpful. Room quiet but lots of flaws… bath leaked, no shower mat, toilet flush not working well, some electrical points not working
Matt
The shower was unbearably hot and appeared to be broken on that setting. There was another shower attached to the bath, but again the fixtures holding it was broken. The sink plug plunger was also disconnected and broken. I did not use the gym or pool as i had planned to and left early instead as i knew i wouldnt be able to use the shower after. Rooms are very plain and boring. Not the premium experience i was expecting. Staff are nice and friendly, however the poor maintenance really let it down.
Clare
Not sound proof rooms unfortunately, all you could hear is people outside until 4am partying.

Hotel is good, rooms are comfortable and clean. The area is great and close to the train station. Staff is ok, checking in was not easy and the person was not very nice.
Joss
Good hotel a bit let down by the breakfast
Good business hotel, friendly staff, nice room, prices average. I had a couple of technical problems with my room and I thought the breakfast was very underwhelming. Mushrooms, eggs and sausages in particular were oddly bland, maybe being cooked without oil or something?

1 night stay Reading
Service was brilliant. Location was fabulous. Access and parking was good. Only downside within the room was the filth and stains on bedroom carpet.
Chris
In need of updating
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.

Graham
Wouldnt recommend
Not a great location, felt unsafe walking from the station to the hotel at night. Windows are paper thin so staying ok the 3rd floor heard every street noise. No water in rooms but reception charge £3.99 for a small bottle. Place felt tired, service was very average. Lifts took forever.

The room presented a clean atmosphere, although it seemed somewhat outdated. The bed and pillows, however, were exceptionally comfortable. I enjoyed a remarkably restful night's sleep. Overall, my experience was quite pleasant. I would certainly consider staying there again.
P.S We noticed that the swimming pools were exceptionally busy, with many children enjoying the water. It appears the high number of youngsters made it difficult for others to find space to relax.

P.S We noticed that the swimming pools were exceptionally busy, with many children enjoying the water. It appears the high number of youngsters made it difficult for others to find space to relax. Perhaps, some consideration could be given to adjusting the pool's usage guidelines. Implementing time restrictions for children might help to balance accessibility and enhance everyone's experience...

A great stay and would definitely stay again, so close the town centre and station. Stayed on the 9th floor so the views were stunning too

Outstanding Customer Service
My sincere thank you to Marissa for her amazing commitment to customer service. Due to an imminent Air Canada flight attendant strike in Canada, we were unable to use our original non-refundable hotel reservation date at Novotel and had to rebook with new dates, in effect having to pay twice. I contacted my original booking agent, Hotel.ca, numerous times not to get a refund, because we knew it was not possible, but rather a modification of our dates given the extenuating circumstances but there was no relief. Upon our arrival at Novotel, I spoke with Marissa who immediately helped us. She contacted the booking agent directly to facilitate the modification of dates on her end and approve the special waiver. Marissa was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process and made it happen. Once again, thank you Marissa for your compassion.

Great spot in central Reading
Front desk staff were so welcoming & helpful, especially Marissa! Breakfast staff were friendly. Didn’t meet housekeeping but they did a lovely job with the room. 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!

Sleepless in reading
Room was not made up for 2 as booked , reception said they fix it whilst we were out . 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.

Close to train station from where we walked. Good visit. Room was comfortable and well thought out with everything we needed. Check in/out excellent and fast. Breakfast was enough to set us up for the day.

2-night Stay
Very slow check-in, but staff helpful. Good food in the Restaurant (we ate there on the 1st night).

The Novotel staff were friendly and very helpful. The room was overall clean but the carpet looked like it had been in the wars! The bar was fun if the music was a little loud. 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.

Great location and staff amazing breakfast just had a few issues with the keys not working l

The staff were very accommodating for us and nothing was too much trouble. The room was a little dated and would benefit from a rewire, however was extremely clean and spacious. A huge selection of food available at breakfast. The only negative was the windows would benefit from secondary glazing as the room faced the main high street, and I had to sleep with earbuds in due to the high level noises outside.

Check room offered before arrival
On arrival I was only offered as Novatel was \"SO busy an accessibility room was only left\" , I then found out what that meant , for people with disabilities. Interesting when I'm not .

Lovely stay!
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!
