Well where shall we start? Check in was a nightmare! I had car trouble so wasn't going to check in until 5pm. I called the premises to ask for directions for where to park my car. The receptionist said she didn't know the area and gave some rubbish directions. When i tried to call back 5 minutes later i got... More

Thank you for your feedback on your recent stay with us. I am glad that you found the apartment to be spacious and modern and would recommend us . Unfortunately at the time of your stay we had a problem with the boiler and this affected the heating and hot water. I am sorry about this, it was dealt with... More

I stayed here for about 8 months when I worked in Reading in 2010, and now that I am back in Reading again (Nov 2012 to date) I had no hesitation in booking into the Max Apartments again. The apartments are well located, close to the Oracle, the centre of Reading and the University, the apartments are clean and comfortable.... More

We were visiting family and friends just before Christmas. It was 1th time I booked service apartment instead of hotel. For the same price, we got bedroom, lounge and kitchen! in nice spacious apartment. Although I did not cook it was nice to have “pyjama breakfast before going out :-) Overall; good value for money, privacy and free parking. We... More

Booked and paid for 5 nights. Lovely lady on reception (the only real positive of our stay). We arrived to find the lift didn't work, our studio was on the 4th floor. Although assured the lift was to be fixed the next day, this didn't happen. We both like exercise but really., walking 4 flights multiple times in a day... More

The 2 bedroom appartments are excellent value if you share the cost. The equivalent single cost gets you into the lowest quality hotels in the Reading area and number 18 is far from that. Clean and roomy with very good facilities

Max Number-18... finally I could get a reasonable Service Apartment after a week long search in Reading. Though it's located slightly further from Town Center but offers a good walk beside the Forbury Gardens to my work place on the other side of Reading station. The Hindu Temple is also at 10 minutes walk from here. To spend good time... More

We were in Reading for a week on business. Coming back to a clean, well-appointed and spacious apartment each night made the entire trip relaxing. The location is a convenient walk to everything, but parking is limited (as they warn you). However, limited parking and street noise are not surprising given the location within centre city--to be fair, the street... More

These apartments may look great online but everything changes when you get there! The service is terrible, the managment is inexperienced and my overall experience was poor - the water power is not existent, the parking is limited, the flats are small and claustrophobic, there is building work and noise, the other people in the block are loud and the...

I stay away for work a lot, and get sick of hotel rooms and enforced breakfast, so to find this off-central location that I could just dump my stuff and eat beans on toast for tea suited me fine. 7 minutes to the train station, near twon centre but not too near. Brand new. Spotless and with a great view... More

I stayed at Number 18 for five days at the beginning of July. The overall impression of the apartment was good but I was disappointed by certain drawbacks that you wouldn't be able to pick up from the website. I had an apartment on the ground floor at the back of the building. I could not open the blinds because... More
