I booked this hotel because of its location to the train station (5mins walk) and the Hexagan Theatre (next door) had a very nice stay. And would recommend it if you're going to see a late show at the Hexagan.

I booked this hotel at short notice (a few hours before I checked in) for a business trip, so the price was very expensive at £149 + £15 for breakfast, but I assume it is cheaper if booked in advance. The lobby and bar area was very nice and the rooms were a good size with a posh bathroom, contemporary... More

I travelled for a business trip and stayed there for 15 days in the Month of May 2013. PROS: 1. Good location. Near to the City center with shopping malls and restaurants nearly. 2. The Front Desk: The folks were pretty helpful and co-operative. 3. Rooms were clean and maintained regularly. 4. The ambiance was pretty good. CONS: 1. The... More

I am not familiar with the other hotels in the surrounding area, but at least this one is in a good location. Very central. The really big inconvenience is that there are no sound proof windows. If you are facing the street, then you will hear the highway all the time and it is noisy! The garden side is very... More

I stayed in for one night and I must say the hotel is really stylish. The recepionist at the check in was very polite, welcoming and always smiled. The room was big although as stated on the previous review the bed was basically two single beds put together. Unfortunately the heating wasn't working, but the problem was sorted quickly as... More

The hotel rooms are average. However, keep in mind that most of the rooms in the region are small in size. I would probably get a much bigger room in Asia for the same daily tariff. The big positive about the hotel is the friendly staff. The upholstery in the rooms do need a uplift! The breakfast will keep you... More

I've stayed in the Reading Penta Hotel four times whilst working on the Reading Festival. I can't remember what it's previous name was, but in essence the Penta is an old hotel that has had a funky makeover, and despite a few little quirks I have to say that I think it works well. The reception area is a fusion... More

I stayed here for nearly 2 weeks, whilst attending a course with my employer. Although some of the rooms are on the small side, they are very clean. The bed was comfortable and the free wi fi and toiletries bag was a bonus. The hotel is a short walking distance from town. As it is so near to town the... More

Stayed here as it was walking distance to our office. Hotel was very comfortable hotel, probably targetted at the business traveller. All facilities were fine, rooms were comfortable. Breakfast good. Walking distance to plenty of restaurants and the town centre was only a few hundred metres away.
