Flexistay Reading West Aparthotel - With Communal Kitchen Use

The communal kitchen was awesome for making our own meals, but the bathroom was a bit outdated. Chur to the friendly staff for the warm welcome!

Large units with comphy bed.

It was a top quality hotel.

The communal kitchen was a great feature for preparing meals.

The Wi-Fi was surprisingly unreliable, hard to stay connected. There were also times when the staff seemed overwhelmed, leading to long wait times for assistance. Though the common areas had potential, they often felt cramped and in need of better organization.

only stayed one night for newbury races for concert very convenient for station to newbury.

arrived at 2pm but could not get any food at all not even bar snack

We recommend this place and would stay here again. Convenient great budget place, it has convenient location next to other colleges, the kennet and Avon canal, and the nearest villages. The rooms are good sized and cheap with a super kingsize bed, everything is perfectly fine. The hotel offers lots of food that was good.

Spotlessly clean and attentive service that creates a cute atmosphere.

We found the hotel easy to find, clean comfortable and friendly. A nice breakfast, and fast check in and out. Thank You.

No Guinness on Tap!! Still not the end of the world.

Good value for money. Clean room.

Railroad nearby, could hear trains in the room. Breakfast was rather dry and was disappointed to see a coffee machine sit in the dining area unused while getting served watered down instant coffee.

Practical for simple needs

Clean room and great communal kitchen setup for cooking breakfast whenever you want. The room had everything we needed, especially after those late nights at the festival, being able to make a quick cheese sandwich on my way to bed was a lifesaver.

Not exactly budget-friendly but it served its purpose well for our needs.

I liked the fact that we were able to check in to the hotel @ around 12.50 after we were told we would have to wait till 2pm when we arived at 11.45am,we also liked the friendly night porter who served us on the bar in the late evening

we did not like the fact that the directions were inadequate ie the post code sent us to a location it was then 30 minutes after ringing twice for directions until we arrived,or or the fact that the receptionist twice told us upon arrival that first she was too busy to check about our taxi that was supposedly previously booked and that she was too busy to get us a drink after we had.we actually waited for an hour to get served after I asked again despite the fact that she stood talking to another girl for the first 20 minutes.We did not like being awaken by the heating coming on at 5 am making the room so hot I had to open the windows so never returned to sleep as road noise could then be heard, we were told in the morning when checking out it was because the night porter gets cold doing nothing at that time so his comfort is obviously more important than the guests, and finally we did not like the breakfast buffet which was Luke warm eggs,mushrooms, beans etc bacon so dried I could not pierce it with a fork all served on cold plates.

Size of the room, poor facilities, loud wedding reception as soon as we arrived, tiny bathroom, no bath, no soap in soap dispenser, uncomfortable bedding, dated look, unclean feel, musty smell etc etc.

Something you might like to consider

The kitchen setup is fantastic! The all-day breakfast provisions was really good, and the communal areas are cozy and inviting.

Poor cleanliness standards throughout impacted comfort, and the décor is outdated and in need of modernization.

The receptionist/waitress was very warm and friendly.

I found the restaurant very expensive for the quality of the food served. We were the only diners in at that time but the food was either overcooked or dry from reheating. The chef redeemed himself with a nice full english breakfast the next morning. The room was very basic for the price paid and fixtures and fittings in the bathroom were dated and tarnished. It was clean though. The remote control for the tv did not work either. Wouldn't stay there again.

The service from the front off house staff was first class.

The food was top class
