“This property is a charming option, located in a quiet residential area, yet conveniently close to Reading's town center; the personalized service and homey decor set it apart from larger chains. While a guest found their room needed updating and had a minor booking issue, they appreciated the clean bed and available tea and coffee, along with the attentive staff's quick resolution.
