Riverside Rooms

LOCATION WAS NICE NEXT TO THE CANAL, VERY QUIET AND PEACEFUL

NO COFFEE OR SUGAR AVAILABLE, VIRTUALLY NO COOKING UTENSILS,NO KNIFE,NO COOKING POTS, KITCHEN WAS VERY CHAOTIC AND DIRTY

No breakfast

The WiFi didn’t work or there wasn’t any wifi. It didn’t come up on my iPhone. So, I used my mobile data on my laptop and this is highly unexpected and a great demerit or disaffection experienced about the property. Otherwise, it’s almost perfect. There was no sign post indicating Riverside rooms because I was very sceptical to go to the house at first, so that it won’t be as if someone is intruding a private property.

bed bugs

Convenient location for central Reading. Comfortable room and exceptionally clean throughout. Perfect if all you need is a bed for the night. Room and property are well secured with coded locks on all doors.

The ironing board cover could do with replacing. If I'm being fussy my only other negative was not having tea making provisions when I arrived.

Place was clean and tidy. Good location with nice views of the river.

Considering I payed 60 pounds per night, having to pay extra (even if it was just 20p) to use the kitchen appliances, is ridiculous. I brought a 20p coin with me as I knew I wanted to cook my own food but it all turned off after 10 minutes so I had to ask another guest for a coin. Furthermore, the kitchen isn't fully equipped, like for example no sharp cutting knife. There was only the bare minimum. This kind of ruined my stay a bit. The code I initially received for the door was wrong so I had to call them. The "beeping" sound when putting the code into the door handles is very loud and I was woken up in the early morning (during the allocated quiet hours of 21:00:00 and 08:00:00) when another guest was trying to get into their room.

The owner is accomodating and helpful

The occupants downstairs are loud and children running

Location

Very strong smell of urine in bathroom. Unable to get cold water to drink out of taps because they are mixer taps and there is always some hot water leakage leading to luke warm and stale tasting water.

Clean

Hard to access. Poor support and wrong code given
