Business Trip

Greg B 4/19/2024 TripAdvisor review

Staff are great - nothing is too much trouble. As a rule I’ll always choose a Novotel and have always enjoyed the facilities here at Reading - only complaint is how warm the rooms are and that there is no ability to adjust this at all…

Amazing front desk service from three true angels.

Flyer11756586819 4/16/2024 TripAdvisor review

Arrived having booked via Booking.com and prepaid, only to find out I had stupidly booked the wrong date and therefore there was no reservation for me. The front desk staff, Marissa, Toni and Raquel were amazing in sorting my error out for me, getting me a room and getting me booked in. They were true angels and I wish all front desk staff were like they were.

Dear Flyer11756586819, Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us. We are delighted to hear that Marissa, myself, and Raquel provided you with exceptional service at the front desk. At Novotel Reading Centre, we strive to assist our guests efficiently and effectively, ensuring a seamless check-in process. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Kind Regards, Toni Tolentino Front Office Manager Novotel Reading Centre

Well located and great staff
