Bow Guest House - Reading

Value for money

Free Wi-Fi access made it easy to keep connected while I was away from the ship. The location was close enough to the town center that I could find my way to bars and restaurants without much trouble.

Rooms were quite small and felt a bit spartan, with mattresses that weren't the most comfortable for a quality sleep. I encountered damp on the walls , and the shared bathroom situation was cramped at best. The breakfast options felt insubstantial. I was surprisingly suspicious about the cooking oils after tasting the rubbery eggs. The parking situation was cramped and the television service was down-definitely not ideal when you want to unwind after a long day. I noticed cleanliness issues that could use attention, particularly with the carpets needing a serious clean.

This low budget hotel has a great location in the town center. Also it is really close to Bow Guest House in late March for 4 nights, and town centre and Reading Station.

Chur! The staff were friendly as, and the breakfast filled me up. But that parking situation was a bit dodgy, and the shared bathrooms could be tight.

Nice place, great for weekend. Units with a shared crappy bathroom in the basement. A huge variety of food for breakfast including toast and cereal. Nice staff and unbeatable location close to the town center!

The twin room had a comfy vibe, perfect for catch-up chats. I appreciated the cozy bedding, made for a decent night's sleep.

The corner shower doors might be difficult for anyone of a larger size, as they didn't open terribly wide for access. I also personally found the mattress a bit on the soft side for me, which might not suit everyone's taste. Cleanliness issues were apparent, such as stains on the pillow and unwashed glassware.

The twin room had a comfy vibe, perfect for catch-up chats. I couldn't resist trying the Neapolitan pizza from Buon Appetito-it's a slice of heaven! Plus, the friendly staff made sure we felt right at home.

The parking situation felt a bit cramped-tight lanes and an overgrown area make it tricky to navigate. And sadly, the television was on the fritz, but we found better entertainment nearby!

A warm welcome set the tone, with the owner assisting in storing my bicycle and helping with luggage. The room was spacious, quiet, and featured a cozy heating setup for a chilly night, complemented by super comfortable bedding. Breakfast was generous, with an unexpected full English both mornings. Navigating the cramped parking area was challenging, and the shared bathroom setup might not suit everyone, being occasionally busy during peak hours.

The friendly staff helped me with my luggage, a nice touch. Arrive early to enjoy some local eateries nearby.

Bow guest house was a great find! The warm welcome from the fam running it was super nice. Breakfast was spot on, loved the full english each morning, and they even offered us more if we wanted it. Plus, the value for what we got was amazin! More than we expected.

the corner shower doors were a bit tight for me and the mattress was a little too soft for my liking.

Can just recommend for a swift visit
