Reception grief
Poor initial service as despite showing my paid confirmation of the booking I was made to log into my hotels.com acc & print off a receipt in front of them as they manager said anybody could have printed off the copy I turned up with! Apart from the lift not working which was not a major problem everything else was good & the room was excelent

Market House
Very fun place to stay in Reading. The walk from the train station took about 10 minutes. The room was very clean and the Bath amenities were very luxurious. Had a burger in the pub downstairs and the atmosphere was welcoming and lively.

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms are spacious well designed - great beds and pillows and excellent bathrooms and nice touches - excellent Only slight draw back is late entry access with a dark doorway / keypad hard to see without a torch and as unmanned from 11pm being in central Reading feels slightly insecure especially 12midnighf plus

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect for an overnight stay
Lovely clean smart room, awesome shower, fluffy towels, great coffee/tea making facilities. Very quiet room too. Only drawback for me was not having fresh air as the windows didn’t open and I found the bed and pillows a bit too firm for my personal comfort. I would absolutely stay again if I could have windows that open!

4/10 Fair

The pub looked dirty, everything you touched felt sticky, it looked completely run down with no lift and 4 flights of stairs completely unacceptable for the older generation particularly as the staircase was dark, dirty and dingy in daytime, the bedroom was very clean though which was a good job otherwise we would have walked away, would I stay again, NO, would I recommend it, NO. This place is not a hotel it's a dirty dingy noisy drinking hole

8/10 Very Good

Lovely room, comfy bed and powerful shower at a good price. No lift and room was on 2nd floor - not a problem for me, but if less mobile would be an issue. Unfortunately key didnt work for the outside door and there was a constant noise in the room as I returned in the evening which wasn't present on check-in. Manager was helpful and moved into another room. Would stay again though
