Just a short walk from both, it ensures easy access to shops, restaurants and various facilities. Many guests highlighted its ideal positioning for various events, including Reading Festival and meetings in the area. The location also suits those walking the Thames Path, adding a scenic component to its list of advantages. Though basic, the hotel provides good value for its price and is noted for its cleanliness and friendly staff. While parking might be an issue, the overall accessibility and the prime spot make it a solid choice for those needing a practical and well-situated place to stay in Reading.
Guests frequently mention the rooms at Easyhotel Reading as being clean and comfortable, though notably small and basic. Many reviews highlighted that the rooms were exceptionally tidy and had modern fittings, making them suitable for short stays or just for sleeping. Some praised the quiet atmosphere and good WiFi, along with supportive and friendly staff.
However, the overwhelming consensus is that the rooms are very cramped with limited storage space and minimal furnishings. Some guests found the small size to be a drawback, especially for couples or those with heavy luggage. The lack of windows in many rooms was often noted, contributing to a claustrophobic feel and ineffective temperature control, leading to uncomfortably hot or stuffy conditions.
While the beds were described as comfortable, the overall experience was somewhat mixed due to the basic facilities, including the absence of tea or coffee-making amenities and reports of insufficient cleanliness and maintenance in some instances. Guests appreciated the affordability and found the rooms functional for short stays despite the limitations in size and additional amenities.
The beds at Easyhotel Reading have generally received mixed reviews, but there is a noticeable trend towards positive remarks. Many guests have found the beds to be comfortable with several specifically highlighting that the beds were clean, cozy and supportive. Terms like "comfy" and "comfortable" frequently appear, indicating a relatively good sleeping experience for a number of visitors. A few guests mentioned that the bed was "super comfy," praising its high quality despite the hotel's budget-friendly nature.
However, not all feedback was favorable. Some guests complained about uncomfortable beds, using descriptions such as "uncomfortable" and "hard," indicating that inconsistency in mattress comfort could be an issue. Additionally, there were multiple comments about the beds being too small for two people, which might be a consideration for couples.
There were also practical observations - while the mattresses were often comfortable, the pillows received less favorable mentions, being described as "flat" and "uncomfortable," with some guests feeling that only having one pillow each was insufficient. The size of the beds and the occasional noisiness or squeakiness were also points of critique.
Overall, while there are several positive experiences, the reviews suggest that the bed comfort at Easyhotel Reading can vary with some room for improvement in areas like pillow quality and mattress consistency.

Easyhotel Reading offers limited parking options for guests with an on-site parking fee of £10 per day. Many guests have highlighted the scarcity of parking spots, which operate on a first-come, first-served basis. This can sometimes pose a challenge, especially if one leaves the spot and later returns, only to find no available spaces.
For those lucky enough to secure a spot, the parking can be convenient, but it’s clear that there are only about ten spaces available, making planning essential. Some guests mentioned that finding parking elsewhere around the hotel can be difficult and may require additional time to secure a space. The charges, although consistent at £10, are viewed as an added expense and there's no provision for booking a spot in advance.
While some found the parking spaces adequate and appreciated the assistance offered by the hotel staff in finding a spot, the consensus is that parking at Easyhotel Reading is significantly limited and should be factored into travel plans.

Overall, while Easyhotel Reading provides essential accessibility features and a helpful staff in a prime location, the lack of a lift and limited space within the rooms may present challenges for guests with significant mobility issues.
