Garner Reading City Centre by IHG

This was a lovely spot to stay as right in the centre of reading… car park is a bit tight to get into but other than that a excellent location and hotel… very clean and staff are very helpful

Walk in and there’s empty drink bottles in the plant pots. Had to get my room number on a receipt - as no cards. It’s been raining and the floor is wet with no wet floor signs. The hallway smelt like urine. Room incredibly basic, the lights loose so couldn’t direct it. Covid breakfast in a bag is fine but surely you should ask for dietary requirements, as a vegan all I could have was the juice. Incredibly thin windows, heard all the outside noise.

Car parking was handy - definitely get what you pay for. The room was dirty - light switches with foreign material on! Room was very warm and neighbouring guests less than considerate with late night/early morning noise.

This is very centrally located in Reading Centre and it's quite good value for money at the quite low price we paid. The room was a good size, the beds are a bit small, the pillows really need replacing, and we struggled with the hot water temperature which was generally scalding. It was very clean but it it looks in many ways like some minor repairs or refurbishments would really help. There is a curry restaurant underneath and there was a faint smell of curry... not a problem for us. We struggled with the traffic system in Reading and it took us a few goes before we could locate the small and tight car park behind the hotel.

Room was terrible, paint coming off walls, carpet had stains and to be honest the place just look tacky. Wont be staying again

Room was comfortable and well sized and not much noise from outside. Staff seemed friendly but struggled with the idea of dietary requests for the advertised free breakfast. We gave them plenty of notice for vegan and dairy free but all they would offer was normal milk and yoghurt, normal croissant containing butter, cereal with dairy ingredients and an orange juice

Hotel is OK a bit tired looking but clean and tidy. Budget room but has all you need.

Wasn't great. I used to stay here quite regularly, but it's really declined since my last stay a few years ago. It's cheap, the bed was clean and comfortable, the towel fluffy and the TV worked fine. But that's the only positives i can give.The water from the sink tap was brown; the shower head sagged down, so impossible to stand under it. No tea/coffee making facilities (I'm sure it used to have); what used to be a lovely continental buffet breakfast is now an awful 'grab and go' brown paper bag of things I'd never eat and a single use plastic bowl and spoon. There is no longer a hotel bar either:(. The place is noisy - but it's a town centre hotel - so something you expect really. And all the rooms smell like curry- it's attached to a curry house. The smell has never bothered me, but i can imagine it would be annoying if you're not a fan of the smell.

The staff were very helpful

Smelt of Indian food throughout common areas and corridors Reception person hidden so had to shout and interrupt her eating some dinner behind the desk Brown water came out of the sink tap. Mentioned it at check out and was told “yeah that happens, just run the tap”. Like it was my fault! Disgusting Using covid as an excuse to not serve breakfast and given a bag with poor quality items to take away, yet still advertising “free breakfast” on Expedia Bed pushed up against wall in room, radiator in between, thought I might get burnt on night but it didn’t work! So it was cold. Exposed wires on bathroom towel rail, also didn’t work Won’t be back, needs closing down!
