Pauline N. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

We booked three rooms, the executive room for my daughter and her family which was great. My husband and I had an accessible room which wasn't so good. Always surprised when its not on the lower floors( in case of fire), it was on the 5th floor. As we walked in, the bathroom door handle was hanging off and the shower was over the bath? the two other rooms that I'd booked for my family had walk-in showers! We hadn't realised that you had to book a parking space, I'd thought it was first come first served . We were directed to an alternative car park (for which we got a discount for staying at the hotel,) but it wasn't as close as we'd hoped, especially as it was a stormy weekend and my husband is disabled, also we left the hotel on a Sunday morning and the entrance we had used for the car park, being a Mall didn't open until 10am. The breakfast was great as was the pool.

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay at Novotel Reading Centre. I am pleased to hear that your daughter and her family's executive room met your expectations, as well as your enjoyment of the breakfast and pool facilities. I have checked your reservation and the room is originally booked for an accessible room. We value your feedback as it allows us to improve our services for future guests. Thank you once again for your comments, and I hope you would consider staying with us again. Kind Regards, Toni Tolentino Multi Site Front Office Manager Novotel & Ibis Reading Centre
