Mercure George Hotel Reading 4 ดาว

The George is in a great central location. The rooms are always clean and comfortable and the staff give you a great welcome. There is something for everyone at breakfast and the dining is very reasonably priced

Bedrooms appear to have been recently refurbished but old furniture. My room also only had a view of a brick wall. Public areas smelt either of curry or damp. Restaurant / bar service not of a good standard.

Our stay was not up to the usual standard we have expected and received of Mercure over the years. The receptionist was warm and welcoming, the bed comfortable. The TV reception was abysmal and internet at less the 2mb per hour useless. Breakfast on a Sunday at 8am was not convenient as we were leaving at 8 for a family occasion so quite shambolic really. There was no-one on reception when we left

Only stayed for one night. It doesn't come up to the standard of other Mercure hotels. It's a shame because the building is fascinating the way it meanders through the various extensions that have been added over the centuries. We didn't get to eat there so can't comment on the food. The location is excellent being in the centre of Reading. There is no onsite parking but Queens Road is only a few minutes walk away and will only set you back £7 for 24 hours at the weekend.

Although it is a Mercure, for sure not Mercure quality. The building is the oldest in Reading, but this is too old, old carpet, creaking stairs, too hot rooms even in UK and May. Also he bed was not comfortable. For me is a no go hotel even for a couple of nights.

Lots to like about the Mercury in Reading, it’s in a great location for sure, staff are helpful and it’s got a decent old world charm about it with the Dickens themes and the quirky nature of finding your room. The shame is all this is a bit lost with the rooms which are tired and bathrooms where you need to take the shower head off the holder to stand any chance of getting wet with it. Breakfast is good, lots of choice and cooked to order which is always welcome, bar good too and there is seating in the courtyard which is nice on warmer evenings though the slope is entertaining. Get one of the better updated rooms and it’s good, book a single or an older standard room and it’s a bit grim. Road noise can be an issue in some rooms too. In truth you get what you pay for here, it tends to be one of the cheaper Hotels in the Town centre and that reflects in the standard of the rooms.

Great location, friendly reception staff. Except for the coffee/tea making facilities, there was nothing nice about the room (old-fashioned/stuffy). Hard to sleep, street too noisy. There are earplugs provided on the bedside table, says it all. Impossible to have unbroken sleep. Book at own risk.

I simply enjoyed my stay. The hotel is located right in the center, shopping, dining, sightseeing- anything you need. The staff is friendly and helpful. The bed is really comfortable. I especially love the history and the archetecture of the place. I highly recommend the hotel.

Interesting place. Just needs customer service. Had no hot water for 3 days, asked front desk clerk if there would any type of compensation for the inconvenience, each time was told manager would contact me, never happened. Did not get a wake up call 2 mornings (this was important) !!

I booked this hotel expecting that could be as any Mercure in the world, but had a big frustration. Very very small rooms, NOT AIR CONDITIONING, no elevators, bad room service, bad mattress. The only positive points were location and good breakfast.

Nice hotel, well located and reasonably priced for our get together. It was rather hot when we stayed but the hotel had kindly provide fans which helped. The hotel is right in the centre of town, great for shops and going out but this means you do get some noise

After reading some bad reviews my expectations were low... nothing to be afraid. The room was clean and confortable, smelled good and had a spacious bathroom. The WIFI was strong enough for videocall (iPhone users need to open a Safari browser to introduce log in details otherwise the WIFI does not work). The atmosphere of the old building and the location are unbeatable. I didn't heard any noises from the outside even that my room faced the street but it was Monday night and I was quite tired. Cooked breakfast is available, not superb but correct. Friendly staff. Just to mention something negative, the mattress was a bit soft and no hair-dryer was available in the bath (probably available at the reception desk but I didn't tried). Definitely will choose again the hotel if coming back to Reading.

My worst hotel experience in the last five years:-( A barely average hotel framed as a charming coaching inn on the Accor website. Really very disappointed, a complete waste of money:-( Specifics are hard to manage as almost everything about the room and the hotel itself was wrong (you name it: price, bed, room, breakfast, temperature, bathroom, service delivery ie breakfast hours or bar closing times). Positives: The staff made the best of it and were helpful and friendly. The room and public areas were clean. Am very grumpy indeed and looking at options to find non-Accor accommodations for my next business trip:-(

The staff here are excellent and couldn't be more helpful, went out of their way to help me when I lost my keys in the room after checking out. The hotel itself is a bit noisy if you stay at the front near the road, so worth checking when you book.

Lovely place and very central. However this did not interupt any of the sleep so don t be put off with it being in middle of quite lively clubs etc. Room was lovely and bed very comfortable! Bathroom was very clean and shower very nice and relaxing! Lighting in room was great as well as blackout curtains for great uninterrupted sleep.
