Garner Reading City Centre by IHG

Parkeren niet makkelijk. Het hotel ligt aan een straat met de bus voor de deur. Het is een oud hotel, gekoppeld aan een restaurant. Verwacht niet te veel. Grappig is dat er veel gebreken zijn te zien, en dan hangt er aan de deur van je kamer een briefje dat je voor schade aansprakelijk wordt gesteld.... Personeel is vriendelijk. Er is geen lift, wel lastig voor senioren maar personeel is behulpzaam met de koffers. Geen koeling in de kamers dus erg gauw benauwd, raam open is soms geen optie met verkeer.

Très bonne expérience hôtel bien situé en plein centre près de toutes commodités. Hôtel très propre on y trouve l'essentiel. Personnel très professionnel a l'écoute surtout à la réceptioniste meessryne très gentille, souriante et très serviable. Ce qui était un peu innabituel pour nous d'avoir un petit dej en box mais l'idée était bonne et très utile.

As a regular user of the ibis hotels in Reading, i was pleased to see that a new ibis styles was opening in the town. I had hoped that this would be one of the many new buildings being constructed, but in fact it is the old Quality hotel, which was itself rooms above tbe Royal tandoori restaurant and which did not get good reviews. I believe it is the same owners who have just changed the hotel branding. Some of the Ibis styles are very good, the one in Edinburgh is lovely, but this is nothing more than a very cheap rebrand with a veneer of modernisation. For example, as I was working at the desk I heard a crash as the full length mirror fell from its mount on the wall! Fortunately I was able to catch it before it smashed against the desk, but it looks like it was secured by only a few strips of double sided tape. For a refurbished hotel, the bathroom was mouldy with a cracked mirror and switches, and the carpet was stained. The breakfast was served in the attached Indian restaurant and was poor - boxes of cereal with a jug of lukewarm milk, mini pastries, one plate of ham, mini-packs of cheese and bread for toasting. For balance, the WiFi was good and I did not smell curry, as others have stated. though I had also been out for one! Will only stay here again if no alternatives.

From the outside it looks decent but it's average at best. Absolutely ridiculous having an Indian Curry house on the ground floor - My room was on the second floor and I could still smell it. Parking, it does have about 8 parking bays. I arrived around half five and all had gone. Good luck. The room itself is only OK. Quite small, TV decent. Bed comfy. Was going to make a cup of tea but water from tap yellow !!! Left to run for a while but didn't clear. The shower was tricky to get to correct temperature. An earth wire on show in bathroom which looks untidy and also looks like towel rail is hanging off. WiFi temperamental. For a hotel named Quality it was anything but. Wouldnt stay again. See pictures.

The hotel stinks of curry in corridors and rooms! You'd swear you were in the middle east with the smell and heat of the rooms it makes your feel sick and your clothes smell! The rooms are very dirty and old fashioned needs a complete renovation or just demolish the place. There were stains just everywhere and mold on walls, chairs even ceilings! To be frank the staff don't care and a rude! Stay well clear I wouldn't let my dog stay here!!

The location is good for the oracle in Reading and the staff were fine, but that is where the good points end. This hotel smells, not just of cooking from the curry house below, but also cigarette smoke, dust and air freshener to try to mask all the other odours. My room was at the front of the hotel and I was kept awake by shouting in the street and buses passing by. The bed was adequately comfy. Breakfast was ok in parts (fresh fruit), but the sausages were of a cheap spongy variety that I've not suffered in years. Breakfast is served in the curry house below the hotel. I can't recommend this hotel because its not really cheap enough to warrant how poor it is.
