The 'Sexiest Townhouse Hotel' vibe in the main building (huge chandeliers, wood paneling)
The Reading Room restaurant's top-tier cocktails and modern European menu
Private 30-seat cinema for guest screenings
快速了解: A tale of two hotels: the main building is a sultry period drama, while the 'House' annex feels like a glorified office block.
@theboutiqueadventurer 的评论: I stayed in this gorgeous suite and the fireplace was a total game-changer for a cozy night in. The bathroom felt massive and so modern compared to the historic exterior. It’s the perfect spot if you want to feel a bit spoiled in Reading.
住过这里的客人说
The hype
Travelers adore the main building's opulence and the staff's warmth, but many feel the annex rooms are a letdown in comparison.
Reality check
Breakfast gets mixed reviews—some love the a la carte options, others find the buffet sparse for the price.
You appreciate 1911 Edwardian architecture and velvet upholstery
You need a swanky spot for cocktails and dinner without leaving the hotel
You are visiting Reading for leisure and want to be near the Abbey Ruins
清洁与维护
8.8
Housekeeping: Generally excellent daily service, though some reports of missed dust in high corners.
Bathroom hygiene: High standard, but isolated reports of leaks or mold in older bathrooms.
Maintenance: Main building is historic so expect some creaky floors; 'House' annex is newer but can feel sterile.
Linens & towels: Egyptian cotton sheets, generally rated as high quality and fresh.
Odors & scents: Lobby smells of signature fragrance (Penhaligon's), no lingering bad odors usually.

The 'Roseate Suite' was the original Council Chamber and has a massive fireplace.

Ask to see the 'Upstage Mini Cinema'—it's often empty and a cool spot to peek at.
✨
The 'Secret Garden' is a hidden outdoor spot with a waterfall, perfect for a quiet coffee.
