Garner Reading City Centre by IHG

Room overlooked an internal courtyard poorly kept with shopping trolley and various detritus. Sash window opened but room was very poorly ventilated, not helped by cooking smells and cigarette smoke smells - can only assume the kitchen and smoking area were nearby. The room seemed in need of a refurb up to modern standards. I paid a low rate for the room but still feel it was below that level.

Wasn’t happy with my room (217) a lot of the free view channels were poor signal. Someone came up to reinstall, some channels were found but still a lot missing. The kettle was changed but did leave a verbal problem with the shower door not closing correctly

Really friendly staff (not sure of his name but believe he was Irish) very friendly and helpful receptionist. Rooms are very basic but clean and somewhere to rest your head. The location is fantastic for central reading shops and restaurants. Breakfast isn’t great, grab a coffee and a pastry and head elsewhere. Faint smell of food from the India restaurant, I did feel like I could smell it on my clothes after leaving but no biggie.

Excellent location. Rooms were larger than expected and well appointed.

Great location

Very stuffy room.could open window as mosquito would come in.room gas no air con. Very hard i stayed their..after complaining i manage to get them to move me for tge second night. But personally no one should be given rooms on 1st floow vety stuffy

The only ploblem with this Hotel is their is now lift.

We had a room on the 3rd floor - not the one we booked. In any case the room was spacious but lacked decor. The bathroom sink had chips in it looking like dirt and the top rim of the toilet bowl was full of dark marks. The bathroom whilst a good size needs modernising. There was also no hot water on the second morning (drip drip) and pressure was low generally. We could hear pigeons! There was no lift and the stairs going up to the 3rd floor are narrow and windy - not ideal. On the positive we had a kettle, a proper hairdryer, the heating was great and the room had an extra fan and plug in heater.

Its above a curry house and I really am not a fan of curry. The room was good but in the corridors outside it you could smell a hint of tandoori.

Run down hotel situated in a run down area of the city. The room was in serious need of a refurb and expected quality of a budget hotel. Location was ideal backing onto the Oracle shopping centre and parking close by as well as the hotels own car park which could hold only a small number of vehicles.
