About Venue
A bar, hotel, event space & restaurant situated in the heart of Reading town centre near Reading Train Station. Designed to impress the Market House, once an historic Lloyds Bank, has been transformed into an industrial chic venue with bars, food kitchen, hotel rooms & plenty of spaces to hire for both private parties & corporate events.
A secret garden, a hidden treasure with a custom made electric glass roof which opens up – creating a real sun trap! This was the main Vault to the bank and we have kept all the original features, walls and vault door, it really is a pretty special place.

For a hotel costing less than £100 a night my husband and I are very impressed. All the little things like complimentary breakfast bag to go, complimentary water, even a complimentary beer! Air conditioning works really well , hot water works really well. Now knowing they are ped-friendly we need to come back with our fur baby

I'm a regular visitor here for stays with work. Rooms are nicely done out and breakfast bag is sufficient for what I need. Location is great in central Reading. Can be a little noisy from the bar below if you're on a lower floor but it quietens down later on and has not affected my sleep.

Rooms pleasantly decorated and comfy, with nice shower facilities. But when I stayed in Room 3 I was kept up all night by a loud banging against the outside of the building. Upon feeding this back to staff in the morning I did get an apology - but not before they grinned at me and said 'they were aware of the issue'. That isn't good enough, I'm afraid and will avoid staying in future.
