The Market House, hotel in Reading

Attractively set in the centre of Reading, The Market House features air-conditioned rooms, a terrace, free WiFi and a restaurant. Featuring a bar, the property is located within 22 km of LaplandUK.

Room was well decorated, a very cosy vibe and supplied tea/coffee as well as milk! Lovely shower gels/shampoos/conditioners provided in the shower ( which was massive). A brilliant stay with brilliant facilities. The entertainment and games downstairs looked amazing but we booked as accommodation for Reading Festival so did not have a chance to explore. The staff were brilliant with adjusting for an early check in to fit in with our Reading Fest plans, which really helped us during our stay and we were very grateful. We would love to stay at a Market House location again!

Room was a good size; bed could have slept 3-4 people. Bathroom a little small. I have to close the door to access the shower but it was clean with good size fluffy towels. Shampoo and shower gel provided. Breakfast had lots of choice - self service. Helpful staff

    The most fascinating thing for me was a pictorial showing the names of all the parts of a farm cart. The other thing of interest was the complete collection of the Ladybird series of children’s books. I’ve since discovered the series for adults written amusingly in the same style.
