Set within a wonderful historic building in the centre of Reading, this hotel provides a harmonious fusion of Old World charm and modern expectations. Part of the Relaxinnz group, Great Expectations provides en suite bedrooms and a themed bar and restaurant in the form of a Dickensian London street. It serves traditional pub food and delicious light bar snacks. Amenities include a pool table and wireless internet access via prepay vouchers. Unfortunately the hotel has no lift. Great Expectations is located directly opposite The Oracle shopping centre. It is also conveniently positioned for easy access to the M3, M4 and M25 motorways. The train station and university are both within a 10-minute walk.
