10/10 Exceptional

My family and I visiting Reading for a family wedding. We wanted a hotel that was near transportation and had an excellent rating. Malmaison did not disappoint. The staff friendly and fabulous. The rooms large, immaculate and comfortable. Can we talk about location…perfect if you want to jump on a train to visit anywhere in England (which we did). Don’t let the hustle and bustle of the train station scare you because once you walk thru the hotel doors, the outside stays outside! We plan to stay again and again and again!

Ashley, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Parking n/a. Drink options good. I do not enjoy having a suite and not being able to crack a window open a little bit. I do not enjoy air conditioning. Also you should not have to pay for extra water. Extra water should be free of charge.
Andrew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property, very close to train station. Rooms have air conditioning so that was a plus! Attentive staff. We did not eat at the hotel so I cannot rate the food, but I would recommend the Malmaison for your stay in Reading.

Karmella at the reception has been brilliant- she went above and beyond to help. She is polite and friendly. Five *. The other manager was great and helpful throughout the stay. Stayed one night on 17th July 2025 - room no 210.
Dias, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This was my 4th or 5th stay and while the service is excellent the hotel is showing either its age or neglect. Furniture in my room was worn, the bed was lumpy and the lighting way too muted. Think my next visit to Reading might require a new venue. All of that said the reception staff and the housekeeping staff were excellent/
