comfortable room but dining options could improve

The room was comfortable and stylishly furnished, enhancing the overall aesthetic of my stay. The staff were very nice and attentive, making me feel welcomed throughout my time there.

Entry through the bar/restaurant can be confusing for first-time guests.

The quirky decor was charming, but the room cleanliness was lacking.

Unique Dickensian decor, lively cocktail bar, engaging cocktail-making sessions

Consider upgrading room sound insulation!!! Elevators for easier access would be beneficial!!! Rooms could greatly benefit from a thorough cleanliness overhaul!!!

The location was fantastic, being just a short walk from the city center, which made it convenient for exploring the local attractions. The room itself was quite spacious and had a nice shower with good water pressure, which I appreciated after a long day. the air conditioning didn't work very well, making the room a bit uncomfortable at times. the hospitality from the staff was a highlight of my stay.

My stay at the 1843 was quite lovely, but there were some hiccups. The room was spacious with plenty of natural light, which I really appreciated. Amenities exceeded my expectations, especially the delightful range of freshly made items at breakfast. I found the air conditioning totally ineffective, making the room uncomfortably warm at times. the location was perfectly situated, making it easy to explore Reading. The staff were friendly and attentive, which added to the warm atmosphere. a good experience but the temperature control needs some serious attention.

during my wedding stay, I was blown away by the space and hospitality at the 1843. the room was spacious with natural light and had plenty of amenities, exceeding my expectations from my previous visit to reading. breakfast was delightful, offering a great range of freshly made items.

the air conditioning was ineffective.

Had a blast exploring the local food scene! Managed to snag some killer homemade pies from nearby Bakery House. the bar area downstairs was pretty chill, perfect for winding down after a day in town.

My single room was cozy but faced another building just six feet away. Had a wee desk with no chair and lighting was dim. No breakfast was a bummer.

I absolutely adored the whimsical Dickens-themed decor. it added such charm to the atmosphere! The staff were incredibly helpful, making accessibility for seniors a breeze, even with the lack of a lift. A delightful stay overall!

i had a great stay at hotel 1843. the location is super convenient, just a short walk to the city centre. deepa from the staff was really nice and helped me with my heavy luggage. the room was comfy with good water flow in the shower. i loved the quirky vibe and how tidy everything was.

the only thing was not having a lift to help with heavy bags and that some areas could use a bit more updating.

a memorable stay amidst the cozy vibe of reading's bustling town

Friendly staff, fantastic ambiance.

I had a great stay at Hotel 1843 Reading! The location is super convenient, just a short walk to the city center. The room was comfy with good water flow in the shower, and I loved the quirky vibe. Special shoutout to Deepa for helping me with heavy luggage!

Only downside was the lack of a lift.

I had a lovely time enjoying the cozy floral decor and a delicious lunch during my stay. The hotel offered great relaxation with its inviting lounge and peaceful reading nook, perfect for unwinding. The only slight drawback was the shower curtain needing a little upgrade, but it didn’t ruin my experience at all. 😊

Nice hotel with free wi-fi, a bar/lounge area, and 24-hour reception. Staff helped with currency tips. I highly recommend it for comfort and service. I’m coming back for Easter!
