Market House
Very fun place to stay in Reading. The walk from the train station took about 10 minutes. The room was very clean and the Bath amenities were very luxurious. Had a burger in the pub downstairs and the atmosphere was welcoming and lively.

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms are spacious well designed - great beds and pillows and excellent bathrooms and nice touches - excellent Only slight draw back is late entry access with a dark doorway / keypad hard to see without a torch and as unmanned from 11pm being in central Reading feels slightly insecure especially 12midnighf plus

Perfect for an overnight stay
Lovely clean smart room, awesome shower, fluffy towels, great coffee/tea making facilities. Very quiet room too. Only drawback for me was not having fresh air as the windows didn’t open and I found the bed and pillows a bit too firm for my personal comfort. I would absolutely stay again if I could have windows that open!

4/10 Fair

The pub looked dirty, everything you touched felt sticky, it looked completely run down with no lift and 4 flights of stairs completely unacceptable for the older generation particularly as the staircase was dark, dirty and dingy in daytime, the bedroom was very clean though which was a good job otherwise we would have walked away, would I stay again, NO, would I recommend it, NO. This place is not a hotel it's a dirty dingy noisy drinking hole

Turbo shabby chic
An honest hotel located above a busy, loud bar not - somewhere for an early nighter but well worth the stay. Taking shabby chic to new heights the attention to the 'unfinished' decor is amazing keeping cleanliness at the forefront.

Great room! Very different staying above a bar/ restaurant but it was great!! Could not hear anything! The only problem was parking and bringing your luggage up two fights of stairs.
