I had a good stay overall, especially due to its proximity to the Reading Festival and the helpful staff, though I did experience some disturbances with early morning cleaning and a lack of air conditioning. The room was spacious and clean, providing great value for the price, but the walls were thin, which affected my comfort at times.

I had a decent stay overall, as the place has excellent value for money, especially for a one-night visit. The check-in was super easy, and I felt safe during my entire time there. However, the room was pretty hot with no air conditioning, and I could hear a lot of noise from surrounding rooms because of the thin walls.

The communal kitchen was clean and seemed pretty handy, but the size of the room made it feel more like a budget hotel than university accommodation.

My stay at Venue Reading Accommodation was quite the mixed bag. The check-in process was really smooth, and the room was clean and welcoming. However, I faced issues with the service when I needed help getting to the train station, and the lack of value for money left me feeling a bit let down.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was a Small Double Room, really clean and tidy, offering all the essentials, but a bit small for two people.

Service

While the check-in staff were friendly, I experienced rudeness from the reception team the next morning when I needed assistance with directions to the train station.

Facilities were basic but adequate, with shower and toilet facilities in the room and enough parking available, which was a plus.
