La Baguette - Reading

On arrival at the hotel there were no staff and no intercom, push button that dials a number, no phone just a A4 piece of paper with telephone numbers. Lucky my phone was charged otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get in without a lot of hassle. Rang the 1st number it rang out, 2nd number somebody answered and gave me a code to get my card from a box on the wall. How hard would it be to install a £130 ring video doorbell or some kind of dialler intercom? Room looked like it was very dated, very pink, carpet, curtains, bed, lamp, pink everything and all had a look like it hasn't been updated for a very long time. As it was so hot in the room I opened the window (big mistake) as at midnight, 1AM and then even past 1AM the pub courtyard directly below emptied crate after crate of bottles in to 9 massive square bins, the noise was crazy. On top of the noise from the big 9 (I counted them) air conditioning units all humming away cutting in and out through the night on the walls outside the window - yet my room didn't have any aircon, it if did maybe I could close the window and get a decent night's sleep. The ONLY good part was the breakfast.

I went to attend a conference in London. It was al on line booking.The hotel owner stays far away leaving the key for entry to a neighbouring café. On entry the doorway was poorly lit .The way to the room was littered with dirt and heavily stained carpet. The timing of the light was such that the light turned off before I reached my room, leaving me out in the cold and dark. Over all the experience of staying in that hotel was very traumatic I will not recommend this place for any body.

Terrible, avoid at all costs. I didn't even get through the door. I called the mobile number and was instructed where to find the access card, it didn't work. The guy couldn't be bothered to come and open the door for me, he also informed me that he doesn't do refunds. I booked into another hotel instead. Give it a swerve!

Slick correspondence, amazingly convenient and good value.

it's not a hotel but more a hostel with indvidual rooms. no value for money with no service.
