Parkside International Hotel - Reading

I have stayed at this hotel a number of times and it is cheap and functional but nothing more. On this occassion my rooom was not very clean and all i could smell was stale smoke. Unfortunately durring the night the fire alarm sounded several times and insisted on going off for 10 minutes at a time. There were also a large number of teenagers staying […] at the hotel who insisted on slamming doors and shouting as load as possible down the corridors. Whilst i have stayed here a number of times i think this was my last visit!! Ďalšie informácie

Travelled to the Hotel in early evening, but November meant it was dark and the Hotel's sign was not well lit, so drove slightly past before spotting it. Staff that were around were very helpful and polite, but there were not many (only 2 customer facing staff) on evening of check-in. Had to wait a short while to be served at the bar. Food was up […] to hotel bar standard, good but not excellent. As this was the first time I'd stayed here, I searched the Bedroom for a "Guest's guide to facilities", there wasn't one. Upon searching cupboards, I found the tea / coffee tray, but no Iron / Ironing board, so be prepared - probably you could borrow one, but I didn't need to ask. Bedroom lighting was a bit too dim for working / reading. Overall, I was happy with the hotel, but it's clear that to offer a lower priced service than some hotels, corners are cut in terms of added extras / service, but not where it really counts, so not really a problem. Bathroom was clean with decent towels, shampoo, soap etc. Bedroom, bed, Tea / Coffee / Kettle etc. all fine. Customer Service okay, although a touch slow. Money has been saved in areas such as guest guides, (no room service?), bar / breakfast menus. Ďalšie informácie

Fairly modern clean hotel and in good location. Good value for money. However bathroom sink hot water tap did not work, and I thought 4 small pots of milk for 4 nights stay a bit mean.

The hotel looks like it will be nice when approaching the reception however looks are deceiving. The rooms are very small & need updating and the bar/restaurant is poorly arranged and does not give you that comfort feeling. On this visit my room had dirt on the floor and the bins had not been emptied but worst of all was the rusty water in the kettle. […] Prior to this visit I had stayed before and my room was clean however still small but what I would expect for a budget hotel. The staff do appear to be friendly so I am hoping that my last visit was just a one off. Ďalšie informácie

I am glad I stayed there. Was convenient to Green Park area where I had work for a few days. I even walked a couple times and took about an hour and there is a nice foot path. The hotel staff helped me with quite a few request and were great about it. My room was a bit rundown with some peeling paint and some other needs, but was satisfactory. I ate […] one meal in the restaurant, pasta, and it was not very good. But, they had some good beer and bitters on draught. Free wifi Internet access was limited. Hotel is in a mostly residential area with a big open park a half mile away and a good pub/ restaurant nearly across the street. Ďalšie informácie

Similar to a budget hotel but it has a nice restaurant / bar area, a big car park and smoking rooms. Decent staff too.

Looks like new premises, very good standard in rooms and public areas but as it's new there was very little atmosphere but think this will improve over time, would stay again

A clean, tidy hotel with nothing that would upset anyone.

Was exactly how I expected, clean, basic and worth the money.

Good value for a biudget hotel. Quiet and good customer service all round.

I gave it a try based on price - I can claim for hotels up the equivalent price of a Travelodge or Premier Inn - and was impressed. It is only a budget hotel so there are no particular 'frills'. However, everything was clean and well maintained, the staff were efficient and friendly and the food was fine, both the evening meal and breakfast. Best of […] all, there are rooms for smokers! Should I stay in Reading again, I would definitely choose the Parkside over any of the budget chains. Ďalšie informácie
