The friendliest staff!

Summah D 5/6/2024 TripAdvisor review

I don’t write many reviews, but I To explain how friendly the staff at the Reading Novotel are. I was travelling with my sister and two daughters. My sister is disabled and the staff were incredible with her. They couldn’t help me enough. They made the stay so easy for me as I was on my own and caring for three others. They were totally understanding of my sister’s needs. Alexandra on reception was exceptional and a credit to this organisation. Also the bar staff and breakfast staff worked so well together and made our stay so comfortable. Thank you all!

Excellent

Wonderful birthday stay

Anonymous Families - 4/29/2024 Confirmed reviews ALL

We had a wonderful stay. The TV in the room was a great size. The pool and steam room were clean and great to have separate towels for that. And the breakfast was amazing - an excellent selection and very nicely presented. More than all of that though, your staff were wonderful. From phoning about the car parking, through to the staff at breakfast, everyone was so happy and friendly and noticeably so. Thank you.

Dear Ms. P., Thank you for sharing your positive experience during your recent birthday stay with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the amenities like the TV, pool, steam room, and breakfast selection. It is heartwarming to know that our staff's friendliness and helpfulness contributed to making your stay memorable. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back soon.
