Wanted a cheap hotel room for a night in Reading, purely as a bed to sleep in. Yes, it is visibly a budget hotel and some money spent wouldn't go a mis. However the beds were comfy and clean, the room had a TV, kettle and tea/coffee, bathroom and shower very good. Check-in was friendly and quick. Free car parking and 24 hour access very useful. Only thing is that they could provide 2 room keys for twin rooms. Though this worked out fine. Highly recommended for cheap stays in Reading.

Booked hotel for Reading Festival. Was a decent price considering the festival and last minute booking a week before. Only 30 mins walk from the festival . Check in was nice and quick and professional. Our room was clean, with towels and bedding, but a bit run down. (Holes in halls, cracking of plaster). The bathroom was clean but only had half roll of toilet paper, which was used by the first night. The next morning, we asked the front desk for more toilet rolls to be put in the room whilst we were out at the festival. Upon our return at midnight, we arrived to see that no toilet paper had been delivered which as you could imagine, was a difficult situation. We got through the night and checked out the morning after. If you are looking for a place that's cheap to simply sleep, shower and store your belongings to go into Reading, this hotel was ok for that and would recommend. If you are planning on utilitising the room more, than I would say, pay a bit more and go elsewhere.

Very cheap used as everywhere was booked and so prices were very high elsewhere. But how cheap is cheap enough

I booked a room with a shared bathroom and toilet, The room is pretty much old and quite noisy the next morning.
