The Novotel Reading Centre offered a beautifully decorated, spacious room with modern amenities, making it very accessible for seniors. I particularly appreciated the attentive staff who swiftly assisted with my luggage, ensuring a comfortable stay.
More seating in the lobby area would be beneficial.

Convenient check-out processes, location near public transport, extensive breakfast selection
The keycard system needs serious upgrading to avoid constant reactivation!!! The pool area cleanliness could use a bit more attention!!! Noise from nearby nightlife was quite disruptive!!! Parking access could be clearer to prevent stress!!!

The room was really modern and spacious, perfect for three of us. We had a comfy sofa bed and the bathroom was well-equipped, which was a plus. Plus, the coffee machine in the room was a nice touch! The pool and saunas were super quiet, giving us a private vibe.

Comfortable room, friendly staff, the easy access to public transport made exploring the area stress-free as it was only a two-minute walk to the train station.

Perfect Family Getaway with Great Amenities
We had a fantastic family stay, benefiting from a spacious room that easily accommodated us all, including our two kids. The breakfast selection was delightful, with fresh options that everyone enjoyed. The pool was a hit with the children, and the location made shopping and dining super convenient. However, the fire alarm testing could have been communicated better to avoid any unnecessary panic.

Family with children OK stay
The friendly reception staff were really helpful when we arrived, making sure we had the right room for us instead of the two single beds. Also, the pool was a fun spot for the kids, they laughed and splashed around like they were in paradise, just what you want for a family trip.
It wasn't exactly cheap but you know what, it was still acceptable for what we got.

Had a great time with friends! We visited the local museum and explored nearby shops. The staff were super friendly, and the facilities were top-notch. I recommend checking out the dog-friendly areas too. Just a heads up, pre-book parking to avoid any hassle. Fantastic place for a group getaway!
We faced a minor issue with our key cards failing, which was a bit annoying, but it was quickly sorted at reception.
