Location is good, the staff is friendly and attentive. It's just that the wifi was not working and it was the main thing I needed because I work late. I arrived late at night so I did not bother to ask the staff. I had to use my mobile data instead which can be quite inconvenient. Other than that, it was all good.

價錢和質素成正比 ,老闆很好人,隨時可幫忙,早餐不錯,廚師娘娘很溫馨,我們中午外出自備三文治, 廚師嬸嬸協助烤多士並用錫紙包好給我們!

The photos of rooms on the website were misleading. Staff greated us in a foreign language. No shoes Place smelt. Stairs dirty. Basement room smelt damp. No bathroom. Would not recommend staying here

Stay at Bow Guest house reading.
My stay at the bow guest house was really good. From checking in made welcome with such a friendly greeting. I had a single room with shared bathroom. It was ok for 1 night stay. Clean and comfy. The breakfast was really good. There was ceriel with fresh orange. Full english with 2 toast, cooked to good standard. Again friendly lady who was serving and cleaning after each table cleared. 👍 You couldnt ask for more. The guest house is close to lots of eaterys and take aways. The bus stop is at the end of the next street. I ate at the Burger den on the corner of Waylen street reading. The best chicken fillet buger i have had . I would recoment this guest house for short stays.
