You don’t need to bring an alarm clock with you- the trash trucks come to collect trash sharp at 6 o’clock in every morning. However, still a good place to stay.

One of the life was out of order during our stay so the was only one lift left for the use of all residents and staff. In one occasion, a janitor / housekeeping lady occupied the lift and no one could use it. Many residents had to use the stair instead. Good exercise after the good breakfast.

Amazing hotel ..hard to believe it's in city centre@ so quiet and best night's sleep for many months. Such helpful and cheery staff who go and above to assist you with queries. Room is big and a large shower which is unusual. Cleanliness is extremely high standard. I will most certainly be recommending this hotel and, without hesitation, be staying here again. Thank you to you all.

My only problem has been with accessing my room several times with the card system. Several times, I have had to return to reception to have it renewed . An easy task but sadly one one lift was working which made it a little time consuming. But it certainly did not affect the overall wonderful stay.

Location is perfect for access to train station & town, it was clean & great value for what we needed.

I managed to mend the air con which was rattling like a tractor - but it appeared to have just slightly come off its bracket and was ok after that. Unfortunately There was only one lift in operation which was pretty horrendous & hot in the corridor waiting to it going down out of the hotel. We waited 20 mins on one occasion because everytime the lift came back to us it was full, would have used stairs if hadn’t of got all our bags. We were told we could use lifts next door but some people had come to our lift as had waits there too.

Excellent central location. Room was very clean and had decent air con which made for a comfortable nights sleep. Staff were approachable and friendly. Really enjoyed the breakfast buffet too, lots of variety and it filled me up nicely for the day.

Only one lift out of two currently in working order, so at busy times you could be waiting for 5 minutes for a lift and when you did get in the lift, people on other floors request it to stop, so be prepared for a bit of yo-yo. Not an issue if you're ok with climbing stairs, but as I was on floor 10, stairs weren't a viable option.

The location was very good, close to Reading train station and the bus stop for the RailAir bus to and from Heathrow. I could walk from the bus stop to the hotel even with a large suitcase and other bags. The hotel is on one of the main streets in Reading, so there is easy access to shopping and restaurants. During my stay my room was very quiet-I didn't hear any noise from other guest rooms or from the street outside. The room was a good size, with a desk that had enough room to use my laptop and tablet. There are power and USB sockets in good locations which allowed me to use and charge my electronic devices. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The shower was good with good temperature control and water flow. Breakfast was included in my booking and was very good, with a buffet that had a large variety of hot and cold food items. All of staff from the front desk, to the breakfast staff and housekeepers were very friendly and helpful. Tamas Racz the Front Office Manager was particularly helpful - I had problems with the card-key in the lift and to enter my room. Tamas came with me in the lift and to my room to check the problem. It turned out it was partly user error on my part. I would recommend this hotel, for a stay in Reading particularly if you are travelling by public transport.

I can't think of anything.

The big stand-out about Ibis in Reading are the staff. They are helpful, efficient and friendly. A particular call out goes to Marta, who greeted me, a windswept half drowned traveler battered by Storm Bert at checkin. She was very kind, helpful and generous with her time. Thank you Marta, and thank you to all the other staff who contributed to my stay. On more mundane notes. The room was well laid out and comfortable, everything was nice and clean. The location is excellent for the station, buses and town centre and the views from the 14th floor are wonderful.

A couple of things would improve the experience. There is free WiFi and I had no problem connecting to it, however, it is so slow I felt nostalgic for the old dial-up days. Maintaining a consistent temperature in the shower was very difficult, a thermostatic mixer would be a boon.

I was stranded by a cancelled train and booked a room at the Ibis in Reading. The room was quiet, clean, and conveniently located near the train station. The room had a nice selection of coffee and tea. I only drink decaf, so was very pleased this was an option. There were a selection of restaurants closeby. I also walked to many tourist attractions. They also extended my reservation for another day with ease.

That the price jumped by 30 quid on the 2nd night. I understand this was probably due to dynamic pricing (all trains were cancelled for 2 days). It is just annoying, but I understand it.

I must say, it was a delightful experience! Here are some highlights from my visit: Excellent Location: The hotel is conveniently located just a short walk from the train station and the town center, making it easy to explore Reading and beyond. Comfortable Accommodations: My room was cozy and well-equipped, featuring a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, and tea and coffee making facilities. The bed was comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. Friendly Staff: The reception staff were superb—very friendly and accommodating. They made me feel welcome and were always ready to assist with any questions I had. Good Amenities: The hotel offers complimentary Wi-Fi, which worked perfectly during my stay. The 24-hour bar was a nice touch, providing a great place to relax after a long day. Value for Money: For the price, I found the ibis Reading Centre to be an excellent value. The room rate included breakfast, which was a convenient and tasty start to my day.

Nothing

I really liked this hotel. It was just a short walk from the railway station, which was ideal for me as I was walking the Thames Path in stages. When I arrived I was given a choice of floors. Floor 10 was great. I left the window open and could barely hear the noise from the street. The window gave adequate ventilation and I didn't bother doing the aircon. Everything in the room worked and nothing was marked or chipped. The shower was good and the water from the tap was perfect..It was good to have really cold water to take on my daily walks. I had breakfast twice. There was a good variety and it was worth £12. The restaurant was pleasant, but they only served breakfast. I ate in the evening at two nearby Wetherspoons.

The second time I had breakfast, the staff were too slow replenishing the food. Things were running out!

We really enjoyed our stay. The position of this hotel is perfect - close to the railway station & city centre, including a Wetherspoons nearby. Check-in & out was quick & easy by efficient staff. Our renovated double sweet 10th floor room was very clean & had a small window with a city view. It was very quiet considering the central city location. Wifi worked well for our simple requirements. Checkout is not until 12pm & the hotel will store luggage which fitted well with our onward travel.

There is no seating area/sofa in room as in listing. Pillows were soft & only one each provided.
