I had a pleasant stay at the Read House hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, although it was a bit warmer than I preferred. The hidden coffee maker and small fridge were a nice surprise, but the inconvenience of wrong room details was frustrating.

7.6/10

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were tired but spacious, needing more electric plugs and a refrigerator. The service, from open to close, was incredibly warm and welcoming. The location was great, allowing me to walk everywhere, although there were some drawbacks. The dining was hit-or-miss, with beautifully presented dishes but some issues with overcooked food. Overall, the hotel had its charms but also areas that could be improved.
