    plain sausages

    The room was clean and nicely decorated, but I wish the breakfast had more variety. The sausages were just plain boring. it was a decent stay. 😊

    i enjoyed my stay at mercure during a recent date night. the location was perfect, really close to shops and restaurants, which made it easy to explore. the classic double room was comfortable and clean, exceeding my expectations from my last visit in reading.

    the room was uncomfortably hot.

    cozy lounge
    steam room
    shower temperature

    I stayed for one night and was pleasantly surprised when they immediately found me a different room since mine wasn't ready yet. The cozy lounge was perfect for unwinding and the steam room was an unexpected treat after a long day. The shower temperature was a bit tricky to manage, but it didn't take away from the overall experience. 😊

    Recommend it for budget-conscious folks

    Had a great time at this place, the room was clean and comfy, even had a quirky layout that felt personal. The free drink on arrival was a nice touch, felt like they actually cared about making me feel welcome.

    It was a bit pricey, but considering the perks, I guess it was reasonable.

    A Comfortable Stay for Leisure Travelers

    I enjoyed my time here with friendly staff and a delightful breakfast at the Italian restaurant. The room had some charm, though a bit outdated. For a family trip, it worked well, but consider requesting a cooler room beforehand for a more comfortable night's sleep.

    accessibility issue
    limited mobility assistance

    I truly appreciated the charming old-world character at Mercure George Hotel, Reading. Its Tudor archways and cobbled courtyard offered a lovely atmosphere, and the staff were exceptionally accommodating, helping me with my mobility needs during my stay.

    Improved accessibility for disabled guests is needed.

    appealing courtyard
    takeaway menu
    cramped room
    cold bed
    closed bar

    An urgent stop led to an unexpectedly disappointing experience. Despite the appealing courtyard, the check-in process lacked warmth, with the bar being closed. The single room felt cramped, with a tiny bed near a cold window and dirty walls. The minimal furnishings included a takeaway menu, but issues like the short curtains allowing morning light made for an uncomfortable stay, which was not worth the £95 charge.
