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. đź‘Ť 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. ##### antoinette Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mei-wa Jun 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service TV did not work. The shower was not the easiest but could be figured out. Otherwise, the room was comfortable and clean. Furnishings are a bit outdated and could be refurbished but the bed was comfortable. The staff is very nice and the breakfast quite generous. ##### Mei-wa Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Charles Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very good value.

The welcome was warm, and despite the police sirens around Reading central, the room itself was very quiet. Although the room was described as having a large bed, in fact it had two singles, it was comfortable enough. The towels were exquisite, and the cooked breakfast equally so. Highly recommended for the price and warm hospitality. ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Alice Jun 12, 2023 The hosts were very welcoming. Room was nice albeit on second floor Relatively close to city centre so could walk or get bus.

Central heating very poor ##### ian Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Christopher Apr 1, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The Hotel needs to be honest when booking if they are hosting permanent residents on behalf of the council, one of whom was being spoken to by the police when I booked in. I was moved to another room. Not a good first impression. the room itself was cold as the heating was turned off.The staff were helpful., but overall i'm afraid I won't be staying again. ##### Christopher Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### VERMA Jul 4, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cheap room, cheaper experience The room was in very bad shape. The cupboard had a door with broken mirror. The size of the room was too small. There was a toilet shared between two rooms & it was too small. There was no water bottle or tap in or around room. On top of it there were bugs in the bed. I am surprised how Hotels.com is allowing to book such facilities on their site. ##### VERMA Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Harbour Hotel St Ives](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Ives-Hotels-St-Ives-Harbour-Hotel.h175599.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > > [Twyford Farm B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Haywards-Heath-Hotels-Twyford-Farm-BB.h26780826.Hotel-Information) > > [Townhouse Exeter](https://www.expedia.ca/Exeter-Hotels-Townhouse-Exeter.h15212615.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Park City Suites Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-City.h42464558.Hotel-Information) > > [The Black Bull Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kirkby-Stephen-Hotels-The-Black-Bull-Hotel.h5559919.Hotel-Information) > > [Parkview Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/High-Wycombe-Hotels-Parkview-Apartments.h32463857.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [Ebony Cottage is an Escape from the Outside World. ](https://www.expedia.ca/Tenbury-Wells-Hotels-Ebony-Cottage-Is-An-Escape-From-The-Outside-World.h33604911.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > > [YotelAIR London Gatwick ](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Yotel-Air-London-Gatwick.h18969729.Hotel-Information) > > [New Park Manor](https://www.expedia.ca/Brockenhurst-Hotels-New-Park-Manor.h7509463.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mj Kingsway, Cleethorpes Seafront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cleethorpes-Hotels-OYO-Hotel-MJ-Kingsway.h24166027.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Albion Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Broadstairs-Hotels-Royal-Albion-Hotel.h2417584.Hotel-Information) > > [Roydon Marina Village Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Harlow-Hotels-Roydon-Marina-Village-Hotel.h34565759.Hotel-Information) > > [Avalon House B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Lyndhurst-Hotels-Avalon-House-BB.h22560167.Hotel-Information) > > [Manchester Central](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Manchester-Central.h39351731.Hotel-Information) > > [Lobster Pot, Bridlington by Marston's Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Bridlington-Hotels-Lobster-Pot.h27478820.Hotel-Information) > > [The George](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h45140643.Hotel-Information) > > [Kings Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Stansted-Hotels-Kings-Arms-Hotel.h57669296.Hotel-Information) > > [Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Low-Wood-Bay.h5243.Hotel-Information) > > [The White Hart Royal Hotel, Moreton-in-Marsh](https://www.expedia.ca/Moreton-In-Marsh-Hotels-White-Hart-Royal-Hotel.h3848404.Hotel-Information) > > [Pretty cottage with enclosed patio and private hot tub with stunning veiws](https://www.expedia.ca/Otley-Hotels-Pretty-Cottage-With-Enclosed-Patio-And-Private-Hot-Tub-With-Stunning-Veiws.h58066446.Hotel-Information) > > [Trivelles Hotels - Eccles New Road](https://www.expedia.ca/Salford-Hotels-Trivelles-Hotels-Eccles-New-Road.h11923793.Hotel-Information) > > [The Old Bakery Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kenilworth-Hotels-The-Old-Bakery-Hotel.h44087031.Hotel-Information) > > [Stay at-FL](https://www.expedia.ca/Crawley-Hotels-Stay-At-FL.h89418790.Hotel-Information) > > [Tides Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Pevensey-Hotels-Tides-Cottage.h42241061.Hotel-Information)
