How did they get their 5 stars?
It's a very terriable experience.
Don't be fooled by the promotional pictures, it was dark in the building and the narrow lift was very depressing. I checked in in January when the hotel reception was warm, but walking into the room was a different story.
Only a very small heater was provided and there was only one blanket; I even had to wear a heavy coat all the day. Even woke up freezing in the middle of the night.
Absolutely not worth the price and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone nor would I stay here again.

The location is in the center of Reading, very close to the train station, convenient for travel. The room is in another building and there are staff to help with luggage. The room is nice with a balcony. The hotel restaurant food is also OK. I went late on the day of check-in and only some dishes were available. The wine was good. The hotel made a mistake in the bill when checking out and charged me an extra fee. I negotiated with the platform and got it refunded. Overall I feel satisfied.

優點:寬敞,佈置得很有品味。1.8米床很舒服。
缺點:沒有空調有點悶,大門就是10級樓梯,並不會主動幫你拎行李。我是自己搬上去的。
