voco Reading by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Love staying at this hotel and we always use it when we are passing by for Legoland, London or airport stays. It has a really luxurious feel but without crazy prices. A hotel room can host a family of five which is a big plus for us so we don’t have to pay for two rooms. Rooms are huge! Also great coffee in rooms as well as a big bottle of still and sparkling water and treats like Biscoff. Also have sockets on the bedsides for charging which is always helpful in a hotel but often not provided. They also do a great breakfast."
