Premier Inn Reading (Caversham Bridge)

Rooms at the Premier Inn Reading (Caversham Bridge) feature a king-size Hypnos bed and a comfortable chair (twin rooms have a double bed and a chaise longue/sofa bed), a writing desk, flat screen television, tea and coffee making facilities and an en suite bathroom. All rooms have free Wi-Fi wireless internet access (up to 1GB per day).

Unlike most other Premier Inn hotels, this hotel does not have air-conditioning meaning that it may not be the best option if you’re visiting during a heatwave.

The hotel has automated check-in machines that are a quick and easy way to check in (there is a staffed reception desk as well if you prefer to deal with a real person).

The hotel also features a Toby Carvery restaurant, which does a full-English breakfast but is noted mostly for its roast dinners. The hotel restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Like other hotels in the Premier Inn chain, this hotel is clean and well maintained offering a great value accommodation option but it is somewhat lacking in character.

This hotel is not as well located as Reading’s other Premier Inn although it may be a better option if you’re driving. It is around 1.5km (1 mile) northwest of the town centre in an area with car dealerships and light industrial businesses. It is around a 20-minute walk into the town centre.

There is free parking on site making this Premier Inn a better option for motorists when compared with Reading’s more centrally-located Premier Inn.

Premier Inn is the largest hotel chain in the United Kingdom and usually scores very high on customer surveys when compared to other UK hotel chains. It operates at the budget end of the market and provides a reasonably high standard of accommodation for the price, and is comparable to ibis and Travelodge hotels.
