The space

A calm, central base in Reading with somewhere secure to park. Walk to work or the station, then shut the door on a long day.

Welcome to Ibex House, a one-bedroom apartment in the middle of Reading, with free secure parking on site. Rare in this part of town.

You know the usual trade-offs with a town centre flat.

Nowhere to park, or a car park that costs a fortune.
A kitchen that is fine for toast and nothing else.
WiFi that stutters through a work call.
Thin curtains and street noise all night.
Hosts who go quiet the moment you check in.
Photos that flatter a tired flat.

None of that here.

This is a bright, well-kept apartment, cleaned by professionals before every stay. Fresh linen, fresh towels, and the basics are stocked so you can settle straight in.

Secure parking on site

Free parking in a secure car park at the building. In central Reading, that is not a footnote; it is the reason people book.

No meters, no permits, no circling the block.

A proper night's sleep

A double bedroom with room-darkening blinds and a comfortable bed. There is a sofa bed too, so the apartment sleeps up to 3.

Central heating you control, and fans for warmer months.

A kitchen you will actually use

Oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, toaster, blender, kettle, and a Nespresso machine.

Cook a proper meal and skip another restaurant bill, or just sort breakfast before an early start. There is a dining table to sit at.

Set up for work

Fast WiFi and a dedicated workspace.

Take the call from the desk, not the edge of the bed. Good for remote work, timesheets, or catching up after court or the office.

Ready for a longer stay

Washing machine, iron, drying rack, and clothes storage, so you can pack for weeks, not days. A launderette is close by if you need it.

Step outside

Reading Station is about a 12 to 15 minute walk, with fast trains to London Paddington in 25 minutes. The Oracle, Broad Street, and the riverside restaurants are all a few minutes on foot.

Easy arrival

Self check-in by lockbox, so a late train or a long day is no problem. Private entrance, and you can drop your bags off early if you need to.

Handy for work

Reading Station: ~1 km, about 12 to 15 min walk (Paddington in ~25 min)
Town centre offices, Broad Street and The Oracle: a few minutes on foot
M4 Junction 11: ~2 miles, ~10 min
