Loved by Pentahotel Reading guests
"It was so different to anywhere else I've stayed the bar area was so inviting with all the different seats and games to play."
"If you're going away with young people/family it's a great choice as we had lots of fun playing all the games in the lobby/bar for free."
"Lovely hotel. Issue with the first room which toilet didn't flush and the second had no air conditioning so upgraded to a penthouse suit on top floor."

“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.”

Solid stay with a great bar
massive bedfree shuffleboardmany optionsgreat breakfast
I enjoyed my time here. The beds were HUGE with two single duvets on each, so I didn't have to fight for covers. There was a free pool table and shuffleboard downstairs in the bar area, THAT's cool. The breakfast offered many options. I found NO cheap substitutes.
Room service was unavailable on Sundays. This information was not available anywhere, not even on the room menu.

The hotel has a fabulous location directly in the city centre. The train station is nearby, providing convenient access to transportation. This makes it easy to explore local attractions and commute to other areas.

The staff members are very polite and helpful. Kodee deserves a special mention because he went out of his way to ensure everything was perfect. I also appreciated the 24/7 bar service.

The breakfast has excellent options. The hotel didn't take any cheap shortcuts with their ingredients, which I value. The bar area provides a great ambience.
