“Having reviewed the details, the hotel strikes me as a conveniently situated option for visitors to Reading, especially given its proximity to the train station and The Oracle shopping centre. The Royal Tandoori restaurant attached to the hotel gets consistent praise, suggesting a worthwhile dining experience right on the premises. While some aspects might be basic, the central location and highly-regarded restaurant make it a practical choice.”
