This suits a group prioritising a central, pub-adjacent evening over hotel-standard extras like a gym or spa. It won't offer the fitness centre or pool found at the business hotels, but the location and downstairs atmosphere make up for that for the right kind of trip. It won't offer the fitness centre or pool found at the business hotels, but the atmosphere makes up for that.
- Eat downstairs at least once rather than heading elsewhere for dinner given the on-site dining area.
- Walk to London Street Brasserie for a change of scene, given it's only two minutes from the door.
- Expect pub noise into the evening if rooms sit close to the bar; ask about room position when booking.

ゲストに人気の理由Staying above the pub gave us a genuinely local evening feel that the chain hotels elsewhere in town don't offer, and being two minutes from London Street Brasserie meant we never struggled to find dinner. It's not a quiet stay, but for a group wanting to be in the middle of things, that was exactly the point. Staying above a proper local pub gave the trip a character none of the chain hotels elsewhere in Reading matched.
