Ann_CatherineNorway 11/7/2025 TripAdvisor review

As always, Ibis is a safe choice. Stayed in room 1114 for 2 nights. Clean room and bathroom with everything I needed (except for hair conditioner amd a safe). Excellent breakfast and friendly service all over the hotel.

Ryan B. Friends - 10/31/2025 Confirmed reviews ALL

Good experience at the ibis Reading Centre. Had an issue when paying at check in where one or two of the rooms was incorrect so I was being asked to pay £63 instead of £36. But the friendly front desk staff quickly sorted that out after I showed my booking reference email. Overall happy with the experience and would stay again if I'm travelling to London the next day as staying in Reading is easier for me.

Dear Ryan, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for being a valued ALL Accor Live Limitless member. We are glad that our team was able to quickly resolve the billing issue and that you enjoyed your stay overall. It is wonderful to hear that our location suited your travel plans and we look forward to welcoming you back to ibis Reading Centre on your next visit to Reading. Kind regards, Marta / Front Office

Booked a new sweet room but what I turned up to was heavily dated and also not clean, there were mould spots in bathroom and public hair alongside long hair strands in shower on floor and wall.
