As a regular user of the ibis hotels in Reading, i was pleased to see that a new ibis styles was opening in the town. I had hoped that this would be one of the many new buildings being constructed, but in fact it is the old Quality hotel, which was itself rooms above tbe Royal tandoori restaurant and which did not get good reviews. I believe it is the same owners who have just changed the hotel branding. Some of the Ibis styles are very good, the one in Edinburgh is lovely, but this is nothing more than a very cheap rebrand with a veneer of modernisation. For example, as I was working at the desk I heard a crash as the full length mirror fell from its mount on the wall! Fortunately I was able to catch it before it smashed against the desk, but it looks like it was secured by only a few strips of double sided tape. For a refurbished hotel, the bathroom was mouldy with a cracked mirror and switches, and the carpet was stained. The breakfast was served in the attached Indian restaurant and was poor - boxes of cereal with a jug of lukewarm milk, mini pastries, one plate of ham, mini-packs of cheese and bread for toasting. For balance, the WiFi was good and I did not smell curry, as others have stated. though I had also been out for one! Will only stay here again if no alternatives.

The hotel stinks of curry in corridors and rooms! You'd swear you were in the middle east with the smell and heat of the rooms it makes your feel sick and your clothes smell! The rooms are very dirty and old fashioned needs a complete renovation or just demolish the place. There were stains just everywhere and mold on walls, chairs even ceilings! To be frank the staff don't care and a rude! Stay well clear I wouldn't let my dog stay here!!
