“Thanks for a lovely stay, Liam!”
+This hotel is perfectly located, right in the centre of Reading and close to many shops and restaurants. Liam on reception is very friendly and helpful. We’re looking forward to coming back again next year.

“Christmas shopping trip”
+My mum and I stayed at Premier Inn Reading Central on Sat 29th November. I have stayed here a lot and have always found it to be a really lovely hotel. It is always reasonably priced considering it's prime location near the Oracle. We found a parking spot in the hotel car park and the staff let us stay here from 11am even though we couldn't check in til 3pm which was much appreciated. We were booked to eat out on the riverside in the evening but when we arrived we were really disappointed and left after 5 minutes. We ended up back at the hotel and luckily we were able to get a table so enjoyed happy hour cocktails and a really lovely meal. Special thanks to Dominika and Will who were so helpful and friendly to us. It was my mum's first visit and they ended up chatting to us like old friends. I'm so glad we came back to the hotel in the evening as it was such a lovely atmosphere and the food and drinks were great.

“Clean and quiet rooms, plus a decent restaurant on site”
+This hotel is really close to the Oracle shopping centre and transport links. It took me 10 minutes by foot from Reading station, so location wise, it’s perfect. We stayed in a Premier Plus room which has a mini fridge and a coffee machine, including ironing facilities. The hotel is very quiet and staff are very friendly and attentive. Food is served on site so we didn’t need to go out anywhere, but there are plenty of restaurants within 2-3 minutes walk away if you’d prefer to eat out. Personally, the food at the hotel was nice and good value - so it’s worth giving it a try as it can be cheaper than going elsewhere! The bar also had good deals on cocktails and other drinks.

“Perfect Location, Immaculate Hotel & Outstanding Staff”
+My partner and I stayed at the Premier Inn in Reading for two nights, and we were genuinely impressed. The location is ideall, right opposite The Oracle shopping centre and only a 10-minute walk to the train station. Getting to London was a breeze, with just a 23-minute train ride to Paddington. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel completely at ease. Everyone was warm and welcoming, and their friendly approach really stood out. In the evenings, Domi and Sarka were absolutely fantastic, they couldn’t do enough for us. Their conversations felt so natural, like we’d known them for years, and it was lovely to see them treating other guests with the same kindness. The hotel itself was spotless, quiet, and very comfortable, everything you’d hope for in a relaxing stay. We’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Reading.

“Great stay.”
+Had a really good visit. Room was spotlessly clean. Staff were great, girls making cocktails were very friendly as were staff at breakfast and breakfast was awesome by the way.
+I've stayed in Premier Inns before, such as one in London in the Blackfriars area and the one at Heathrow. Both of them were good, clean hotels. But this one in Reading was a major disappointment. The room was dingy, there were stains on the carpet and the bathroom floor was sticky. floors. The towels smelled. The worse was when I turned on the water in the shower and discovered that the water wasn't draining and what's worse, particles of debris (that strangely looked like wood chips) came out of the drain and were floating around in the water that refused to go down the drain. I went down to tell the front desk clerk about it and he said he would come up momentarily to look at it, but he never did. I gave up on that and went without a shower. There was no way I was getting in that bathtub. On the ground floor, the floors in the eating area were stained and the floor around the coffee machine were sticky as well. One final note: beware of the taxi company that has a contract with this hotel. I had an incompetent driver who couldn't figure out where my destination was. I also could not see a meter anywhere on his dashboard, which I believe is a licensing offence.
