PREMIER SUITES Reading
Excellent location . Pleasant staff. Clean but the room has a weird chemical smell . The bedroom is very small while the living area is unnecessarily big !! The lift was out order throughout our 9-day stay .

SACO Reading - Castle Crescent
Clean apartment . Didn't communicate with staff . Sunny and spacious but must add lighting ( I had to buy a lamp to add some light at night ) . The dishwasher is not functional - it stained all the glasses and plates. The bed comfortable .
