Premier Inn Reading Central

Rooms at the Reading Central Premier Inn 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).

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 the Thyme Bar & Grill, which has an international menu with mostly casual options. The hotel restaurant is open for breakfast 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 located in located across the road from a busy flyover so it is not the most attractive location, but it is central with the Oracle shopping centre and the River Kennet around a two-minute walk away. Reading railway station is a 10–15-minute walk from the hotel.

There is limited parking on site, which is available on a first-come, first-served basis and is charged at £10 per day.

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.
