    It can be a tad noisy, with a bedroom above the room I was staying in, and the water pressure in the shower isn't amazing, but as long as you have music on and you're happy with taking a little longer than usual to wash your hair, the room is always well-prepared and the WiFi is generally great.

    Despite not having the key box code when I arrived, the lady owner was very happy to come out and help me get access to the place. I always stay here when I come to Reading for work and the people are lovely.

    The Tv was in the wrong place for when you were laying in bed Could do with instructions for the TV as could not get a lot of channels to watch.

    Everything you needed was there. Great location to get into town centre .

    You can hear the main house through the walls but since we were mostly out this didn't affect us too much.

    The flat was clean, comfortable, a good location only 20 minutes walk from town and was perfect for our 1 night stay. The kitchen is tiny and took a little juggling with the space but was well equipped for it's size and worked well for us.

    Despite it saying non-smokers only, the room did smell like cigarettes when I first went in.

    It took me 2 drives past to find the driveway in the dark, but that was fine. The driveway was plenty big enough for my car and two others. The instructions provided by the lady were perfect, and there was heated flooring in the "flat". Very spacious, warm despite the weather, and very accommodating for meals and such. There was a hotplate and extractor and cookware provided in the little kitchenette, which surprised and impressed me. I've seen a few reviews mention the shower - it was fine, it's a single shower cubicle. The water pressure isn't amazing but I had no issues with hot water or with getting myself clean. Lovely little place, very comfortable, will definitely stay there again.

    The shower is a tad small but fine if you are a small person and the water temp was lukewarm okay for summer but I prefer steaming hot showers otherwise all good

    This accommodation has everything you need they have literally thought of everything and I’ll certainly stay there again. Very comfortable and I recommend this flat! Short walk to the Tesco and also M&S by the petrol station.

    The shower was OK but not great. A trickle of warmish water and a very small cubicle & opening. Fine for me but my husband wouldn’t have fitted in if he’d been with me. Mattress was very soft but that may suit some people.

    Felt safe in this pleasant location in a residential road near the Archives. Convenient for onward travel to the West. Clean and had everything I needed for an overnight stay.

    The shower is tiny with very poor water pressure.

    Lovely quiet location, comfortable and some really good facilities . Loved the Wi-Fi revives and it had all we needed, hot plate, microwave, tv, kettle and all we needed for tea and coffee, just remember to bring milk for your hot drinks. The bed was very comfortable and there was a good, but noisy, fan. It was lovely and clean.

    It is a 40 min walk to Whiteknights campus Uni of Reading but I discovered you could take 2 buses there or catch the 21 Uni bus to Crown Street and then walk 20 mins to the studio, so this was actually okay.

    A spacious, bright studio with all the facilities I needed for a week's stay. Especially the fridge, microwave and mini kitchen. In a residential area so mostly quiet. A 20min easy walk from town and the train station. I was very comfortable here and I would most certainly stay again.

    DISSAPOINTING STAY

    The bathroom was too small and the shower (grouting in between tiles) was dirty. The studio apartment was cold with no way of adjusting the temperature due to the thermostat being controlled by the owner. When I asked about the heating I was told that as soon as the temp drops below 20 deg the heating will come on. We arrived in the afternoon (3.30pm) & the flat was cold. We didn’t worry as we only stayed long enough to put our luggage in the flat before going to my aunties 100th bday party. We got back to the flat around 11.15pm & found it freezing. I had to pull the fridge/microwave away from the radiator control & found that it was already in the highest setting but the radiator was cold. I thought i would be warm enough in bed but then realised 2 too windows next to the bed were open. I couldn’t close the windows so rang the owner who came down & managed to close them. I asked about the heating & the owner felt the radiator and said that the heating warms the whole building & as the windows were open the building upstairs was getting warm but the flat was cold due to the open windows? The owner said he could boost the boiler & I said as I would be sleeping I think we would be ok with the windows now closed. Once again I queried that the flat would be warm in the morning & the owner re-assured me the heating was on continuously & when the temp drops below 20 deg the radiator will come on. I had a terrible nights sleep & when I got up around 3am tge radiator was still cold. When my husband & I got up at 8.30am we kept our coats on while we ate our breakfast. We had a miserable stay. The dirty shower was off putting and simply not acceptable when anti mould sprays are available to ensure the shower remains mould free. I have included a pic of the tiny space (toilet) for info purposes.

    Looked good from the outside and had free parking. When I experienced an issue I was able to contact the owner who sorted the issue quickly despite it being almost midnight.

    For my liking it was very warm, but I am a very warm person. So if you feel the cold it would be a perfect temperature for you.

    It easy to access, no stairs, check in was very easy
