“The hotel certainly aims for a modern, stylish vibe, especially in its Pentalounge, which acts as the social hub. Its proximity to the train station and town centre is a definite plus for getting around Reading with ease. However, some maintenance and food quality issues seem to need addressing for a consistently great experience.”
