The reception staff were friendly and welcoming. Room clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the light breakfast. Definitely will stay again.
Decent bed and shower, nice enough staff, and overall an average hotel stay.
I’m giving it three stars because I was a bit disappointed with the breakfast. I had higher expectations when it said breakfast was included, but there was very little available. The selection was really small and there was hardly anything to choose from.
The breakfast buffet definitely needs improvement. That said, the stay itself wasn’t bad overall.

Lovely staff, a few problems with the room but the staff swiftly sorted that out. Also had a miscommunication about timing of breakfast which meant I then missed it, however the staff kindly got me some fruit and yoghurt.

Comfy bed and clean. Soundproofing could be improved but for be the price and location it's not bad. Didn't try the brekkie so can't comment but it was continental only.

Staff were friendly and downstairs space looked fab! I’d say the room itself needed updating. The bathroom floors were sticky with maybe something spilt from the stay before? The shower gel on the wall was empty but was a tiny bit to use luckily. Bed was comfortable and overall a good stay.
Didn't go for food or drink.
Hotel is good location.
Room and facilities low standard, though clean (mostly), not very comfortable and some issues. Bed head presses against light switch and bed wobbles, thus the light kept going on/off. Kettle broken and room was super cold at night. To be fair it was -6 or so outside.
Staff were nice and friendly and for the price and location it was fairly good. Star lost for lack of capacity to make tea without leaving the room!

While the hotel is older, the rooms are spacious, the people are so helpful with bringing bags early, nice check-in etc. the restaurant is great and breakfast is free. Very nice all round!
Attentive and friendly staff. Historic building, lots of character. Breakfast was croissants, muffins, toast, juice and great strong coffee!
The bed was huge and comfy, no street noise.
Close to restaurants in town.
Definitely recommend this hotel, it’s different and quirky with a big personality.
I had a very good experience during my stay at Hotel 1843. The check-in process was smooth, and the receptionist was extremely kind and helpful. This is a budget hotel, so some areas like the corridors, paintwork, and carpets are a bit outdated—but for the price we paid, it was excellent value.
Our room was very spacious, with good water pressure in the shower. It was quiet, very warm (make sure you open the radiator!), and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was included in the price, which was a nice bonus.
The breakfast was simple but practical: cereal, bread with butter and jam, boiled eggs, juice, water, coffee, and tea—just what you need to start the day.
If anyone wants a more elaborate breakfast, there are plenty of places nearby in Reading.
Check-out was smooth as well. Overall, I really enjoyed my one-night stay and would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a budget-friendly option in Reading
The hotel is very close to Reading town centre and train station, so staying here was very convenient. The staff were friendly and responsive to our needs. The bed was soft, and the shower was powerful. The location is difficult to access by car, however, on account of the UK's bizarre addiction to one-way streets.
