      "Not really AT Terminal 5 but pretty close" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 24, 2013

      This is a great little hotel, but what everyone should know is there aren't really any hotels on airport property. They all require a bus ride. But the most important realization is that Terminal 5 is in the middle of nowhere and a long way from any other terminal. Therefore the Premier Inn is not onside. The next thing to know is the 423 bus is a FREE ride to and from Terminal 5. You don't need to pay for the overpriced H shuttles. Just hop on and pay attention to your stop. From Heathrow the Premier in will appear on the left once you're on Bay Road. Watch for the White Horse Pub as your marker that you're getting close. Great staff to help you with local transport and tell you where to find things like UK mobile phones.

    It is really one of the better options in Reading. I had the misfortune of staying in Quality Inn hotel in Reading for a few days and Penta scores higher... by a huge huge margin. It is plenty of natural light and is clean. One can stay here and not regret the choice. Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Apr 28, 2013

    I enjoyed this hotel and its disco ball in the entry-way plus the bar area. After all the cookie-cutter brand hotels, this was a nice change. Free movies, clean room and bathroom, and nice king size bed. I had trouble with being too warm at night with the down comforter and asked for a change of blanket type and service response was very good.

    Stayed at the pentahotel for 5 days; one lift out of commission the whole time, and the other lift dreadfully slow. But hotel was otherwise nice enough. They do an odd bit with wireless; it's partially free. Sometimes they charge for breakfast, sometimes they don't. Sometimes the hostess gasps (literally) when you haven't prepaid for breakfast, and […] asks a million time consuming questions before she allows you to pay for it. All that said, it's a nice enough place. Read more

    Although we reported the problem several times, the "air-conditioning" in the room barely functioned. We couldn't keep our window open because of the street noise. So, if you stay at the Pentahotel and need to cool down the room, be sure to stay on the back side, not the street side. Several friends had other rooms at the Penta, and all of us had the […] same problem! Very hot airless rooms even with the air-conditioner on high. Otherwise, the beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean and nice. Read more

    Room was clean, but the hairdryer wasn't working. Front desk staff didn't have us listed and it took time for them to find us on 'the system'. No on-site parking but u get a £4 discount for each night you stay in the local car park (so u only pay £10 per night). Breekie was £15 per person so be aware.

    When you first see this hotel, your gut feeling is "Oh God, a Prison Building" ! However, once inside you are surprised by the lobby and bar space, with the excellent service of the staff. OK, it's a little tatty, but it is, what it is, so trust me, there are worse hotels in Reading ! So, go open minded into a budget hotel and if anything is wrong, […] just ask them - I asked for extra tea bags and it was no issue whatsover. p.s. The bed was massive and the room cleverly designed to maximise space - don't expect a dance floor ! Read more

    Stayed here 2 nights - with buffet breakfast which was vast and tasty. Check in / out was quick. Room quality and facilities were good. Went down to the hotel bar and restaurant on Saturday night as we didn't fancy being in a packed loud bar in the city. I ordered a mojito (and it never surprises me how many people make this wrong) however the hotel […] barman made it well - brown sugar not syrup, limes and lots of mint leave muddled snd squashed topped with soda water and a generous amount of rum and splas of bitters. For dinner I chose burger and chips on reflection I probably won't have that again - purely because it was so much for me to eat. My boyfriend had the lamb which was tasty and a good portion. Cons = temperature in hotel and room was higher than comfortable. AC didn't appear to work do resulted in leaving our room window open overnight. The shower is good but there I only 1 glass door nod the way it's designed meant half the water spilled onto the floor. No mini fridge in room to stored our drinks / snacks purchased from local M&S / tesco. Read more

    I have stayed at this hotel several times, and I always look forward to it. I still had a great experience overall, and would still recommend the hotel, but on this visit I just noticed a couple of things that weren't up to the usual standards. The room was mostly fine, but there was a stain on the carpet and a couple of small holes at the seams in […] the duvet cover. Just wear & tear I'm sure, and the bedlinen was very clean, but it was quite obvious when I got into bed. Not a disaster by any means, but avoidable. Having had the penta breakfast on previous occasions (which is excellent, bytheway) I had no qualms about ordering room service but wasn't impressed. The roast vegetable and avocado baguette had hardly any veg in it and just a smear of guacamole/avocado paste on one side of the bread. For the price (about £7 I think), the filling could have been a lot less stingy. Read more

    Excellent hotel and really conveniently located in Reading town centre, just a few mins walk to the Riverside, shops, Railway station etc. Only stayed for a night as I had a friend visiting that I couldn't host at home as I live in a house share and wouldn't be comfortable. I made the booking online & also called the hotel to confirm my late night arrival; […] everything was fine and the staff very polite and helpful. The room was very clean and tidy, spacious and nicely decorated. I was impressed by the bed; it was a very comfortable double which was so big it could fit 3-4 people! Nice bathroom with power shower & additional option to take the shower off the base which was really nice plus the outside side of the bathroom door had a fitted mirror :-) . I found it a bit pricey but then, other central hotels were extortionately priced (for the area) so in comparison Penta was ok. Nice experience all in all, only downside was the internet connection which was rather unreliable but other than that I would happily stay there again! Read more

    Might have been the worst hotel i stayed in the two weeks that me and my wife stayed in while traveling across England. Went to check-in and they said they didnt have anything ready but then 2 seconds later they somehow produced a room for me. Got to the room and it was ok, 1 king bed and it had 2 seperate bedspreads(one for each person). Got back that […] night and the air conditioning units were broken and couldnt leave the windows open because the people on the strip outside our windows were drunk, loud and very obnoxious. Worst sleep I had in England. Then staff just said well sorry for your problems but nothing we can do about it. Not a very friendly staff. Read more

    Lovely stay at pentahotel. Just make sure you go to breakfast early as after 10:30 on a Sunday their were hardly any items left in the cooked breakfast buffet. But we thought the hotel was great value for money.
