    Very hot, no air conditioning during summer and no breeze for the rooms where this is student accommodation so windows have been proofed to only open so far. Walls are also very thin so can hear surrounding rooms very easily. Automatic bathroom light was slightly annoying where the fan would also turn on and make noise if needing to use the bathroom during the night.

    Excellent value for money, great for a one night stay. Super easy to check in and very safe facilities.

    Hard to get taxis to collect as large site. An hour walk from the festival as taxis are sparse after.

    Cheap stay for reading festival. Clean with kitchen facilities & living space shared within each flat. Ideal for staying over Reading Festival.

    Taxis were very hard to get from here and expensive, we walked both days into and back from the festival, it was a 45-60 min walk to the festival.

    Perfect for the festival, the room was actually nicer than we thought it would be and they provided towels etc, which we didn't think they would! Was so easy and quick to check in and the parking was really handy.

    The signage within the university to find reception was not very good and took us probably around 30 minutes to find. The beds were small but this was as expected so I can't complain. We stayed as we were attending Reading Festival, we found it difficult to get back to the hotel due to the lack of taxis, but again not the fault of Venue Accommodation.

    Reception were friendly, and rooms were as described, clean. Was nice to have the communal area with fridges etc.

    Not much, a bigger bed would have been nice.

    Quick check in, good location & ample parking. Hadn’t realised it was on the grounds of Reading University when I booked, stayed in Halls Of Residence. Was pleasant enough, quite basic, but did the job. Small bed (4’) so not really big enough for a couple, but we managed. Not the comfiest bed, but did manage to sleep. No hairdryer, but we took our own anyway.

    They knocked on our door to clean the room at 9 am both days of the festival.it is a nice gesture,but they should do It later in the day,cause It woke us Up both mornings,and after spending the whole day at the festival ,we needed some rest.

    We stayed here cause of the Reading Festival.the staff were really nice when we did the check in late at night.the room was Big enough for two.it was clean and with all you need. It is roughly 1h walk from the festival to there,if you struggle to find A taxi back at night.during the day It is easier to access by public transporte/taxi.it had a share kitchen,clean and for anyone to use.

    It was a mission to find! Spent ages looking for Windsor hall, nothing was signposted we had no idea where we were going. The room was not worth over £100 I guess resting festival was on but the bed was too small for two adults and not comfortable.

    The staff were super helpful and friendly. The room was very clean and was in a great location.
