I recently stayed at this hotel and had a fantastic experience. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the subway station, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. The surrounding area is vibrant and full of life, with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby.
The hotel itself is exceptionally clean and well-maintained. My room was spotless, and the housekeeping staff did an excellent job throughout my stay. The amenities were top-notch, and I appreciated the attention to detail in the design and comfort of the space.
Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable stay in a great location. I will definitely return on my next visit!

I requested a quiet room and was very relieved to have one. My only wish would be a small fridge in the room otherwise all good - lovely staff.

Overall the hotel experience was quite good and the location is perfect. Except one of the elevators were broken during my visit and it was forever to get the lift up and down.

I booked Ibis Reading for 4 nights stay from May 1 - May 5th. But based on my quick experience I adjusted my stay to only 1 night.
1. The reception staff was very RUDE and non-challant. Physically "sneering" when I politely quested for a quiet room free of noise and external lights bases on migraines.
2. There was only 1 lift working and I was in Room 1307 on the 13th floor so had to wait a long time to be get a lift upstairs.
3. The WiFi was not working in the rooms, and when I went downstairs to complain, I was met with a "dismissive attitude" by another receptionist staff.
4. The breakfast service was however good.
Never booking an Ibis Hotel again....1st time experience was horrible.
I actually feel I should get a refund because I felt so bad.

Was a really nice stay though. Me and my husband had a night out, and stayed at ibis, the location is very nice and was a 5min walk to the train station

Good location. Value for money. Clean room but could do with a bit more eyes for details. There were shoe marks on the wall.
