Probably the space is a bit small and would benefit from a working table for busy travellers to work with their laptops

Cleanliness, central location, proximity to train station

Nothing

While it can look a little beat up when you first come in, it was very clean and had absolutely everything I needed. The price was good in comparison to all the other hotels around the festival. Great location! Will probably come back if I go to reading festival again!!

Sink drainer, Shower head, and tap in room 21 could do with upgrades

Great location, perfect to put your head down.

Nothing really. Maybe a light on a censor at the entrance door would benefit travellers like me arriving in the dark.

Didn't have breakfast was not aware it was included. After a bit of confusion when the outer door touch screen didn't illuminate at the first two attempts and it was dark, I found it quite easy to gain access. Very good idea though.

Tiny room, but was fine for the purpose.

Centrally located, close to station. Good WiFi.

The showers were unpredictable, ran hot and cold throughout use. The checkout time is stated and this is fair but once it hits that time there's no grace period to get back in your room so do ensure you have everything before you shut the door. Wasn't a problem for us but felt it worth mentioning.

The rooms were clean and as it was self check in that was all very a smooth process. The location is ideal for central reading, 2 min walk from the station, plenty of food options, coffee shop on the doorstep. Fans were provided to try and help combat the heat.

If you are there friday or safurday and you are a light sleeper, you will feel the beat from the venue next door up to 1 am.

The location is great. Staff is friendly and responsive . We got everything we need.

I would have liked a more proactive approach to instructions to get into the room. I had to prompt for them, even though I used the online check in. I don't really know why they are not sent automatically at 2pm on check-in day.

Good location. Clean comfortable room. A bit odd getting used to the unstaffed experience and lack of public areas but not really a problem.

Great central location at a good price for central Reading. It’s basic, but comfortable and clean.

Smalllest room ive ever stayed in but adequate for a single night. Light not working in the Bathroom. Somewhere to store a heavy suitcase over night (downstairs) would have been good. Missing a simple and inexpensive trick....put hooks on the back of both the Room and Bathroom door - would have been so usefull especialy as the room is so small with virtually no hanging space. I had a back room so no trafic noise but some pretty loud (but I guess unavoidable) noise from the pub yard clearing up in the early hours Frankly felt that from a value standpoint - around £45 would have been fair. (£65 paid)

Location ( 3minutes from Reading Station) was perfect. Amenities - drink making facility, toiletries etc. great. Security at the entrance (via code / Pad) to the building and again entry into the bedroom - excellent. Room was well heated.

The fire alarm went off and the host would not respond to texts or a phone call for a long while. There was no inquiry as to whether the alarm was genuine or not.

One of our two rooms was much smaller than the other, and there were no coat hooks (although there were hangers available) and the surface beside the bed had a fan on it and therefore little space for glasses, book watch etc. But this was really not a problem.

The Blagrave rooms were booked as single rooms for just one night following a concert at the Hexagon Theatre. It is very unusual to find single self contained rooms such as these available, and at a reasonable price. Trouble free access to the rooms via mobile text made booking in arrangements simple and flexible.

Don't recommend for a weekend night if you are wanting to get to sleep before midnight as the music from the pub next door is VERY loud (I don't know if this is the same on a weekday).

Room was good and had all you could need to a short stay in Reading. Comfortable bed. Location is very convenient for getting to/from the train station.

Nothing really, it was what it was, and I would certainly stay again, if attending another family event in that location 😊

It was fine and I am glad that I stayed there as opposed to the four/five star hotel around the corner that some other family members stayed in, at least I was cool 😁

Exterior noise a bit of an issue with it being so central

Central location close to the station and good value for money. Room was clean and comfortable

Room was listed as having breakfast included, but this wasn’t the case (I was however not hungry in the morning so this didn’t impact the quality of my stay too much).

Great location and relatively good value for money in an otherwise expensive city to stay in. Hosts were incredibly responsive on the booking app.
