Guests at Novotel Reading Centre hotel can enjoy a great breakfast with lots of options to choose from, including gluten-free and vegetarian choices. Children eat for free, making it a family-friendly destination. However, there were some mixed experiences with breakfast with some guests finding it a disappointment due to slow food replenishment, a lack of basic items like coffee, butter and milk or small quantities and poor quality of cooked breakfast items. Despite this, some guests still found the breakfast to be satisfactory and fresh with an impressive choice on offer. Room service for breakfast was available but could be hit or miss. The breakfast room service could arrive late or cold and the kitchen was understaffed leading to shortages of food. The cleanliness of the rooms could also be a concern. Overall, while the breakfast experience at this hotel may vary, guests can still have a decent start to their day with most of what they need.
