The Faculty is Where Comfort Meets Contemporary Living

If you are searching for serviced apartments in Reading that offer high quality, comfort, and value, take a close look at The Faculty. Following a meticulous refurbishment, this stylish property on London Road sets a benchmark for apartment-based living.

The attention to detail is evident the moment you step inside. The Faculty’s bedrooms are furnished with exceptional quality beds, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. A Smart TV, coffee machine, and high-speed Wi-Fi are all part of the package, giving you the best of both worlds: the ease and independence of home living combined with the kind of thoughtful touches that you would expect from a quality hotel. Our guest services team adds another layer of reassurance, meaning support is always close to hand when you need it.

Thoughtfully Designed Spaces That Make Memories from Every Stay

The Faculty offers both one and two-bedroom apartments, each arranged around a generously sized open-plan living and dining area that feels spacious and light. These are spaces designed for living in.

The fully equipped kitchen features everything you would find at home: oven and hob, microwave, fridge freezer, dishwasher, kettle, toaster, and a full range of cookware and dinnerware, so cooking a meal after a long day is a pleasure rather than a compromise. A washer/dryer means there is no need to pack overly heavy bags for extended stays, giving you a level of self-sufficiency that hotels can’t match.

In the two-bedroom apartments, the main bedroom benefits from a private en-suite shower room, whilst the family bathroom offers both a bath and a separate shower. Sleeping arrangements can also be tailored to suit your party: select apartments offer the choice of a super king-size bed or two single beds, making The Faculty equally suitable for couples, colleagues travelling together, or families. Every detail has been considered to make your stay feel like a ‘home-from-home’.

Your Gateway to Reading's Best Shopping and Dining

Of course, location matters too, and The Faculty’s position in the middle of Reading puts an impressive range of options right at your doorstep. For example, the Oracle Shopping Centre, a popular retail destination home to both high-street favourites and designer brands, is just a short stroll away.

When it comes to dining, you are spoilt for choice within a ten-minute walk. Italian, Indian, and Mexican restaurants are all nearby, alongside cosy pubs, independent cafes, and a local supermarket for when you would rather eat in. A small park is also close by if you fancy some fresh air between meetings or sightseeing. Reading also offers museums, riverside walks, and an exciting nightlife scene, making The Faculty a natural base whether your visit is business or leisure-focused.

Ideally Connected to London and Beyond

Getting around from The Faculty couldn’t be easier. Reading station is just a 12-minute walk from the property, and from there it is only a 24-minute train journey into London Paddington, making it ideal for those who need to be in the capital regularly without the expense of staying there.



For drivers, the M4 motorway provides quick and easy access to Heathrow Airport, connecting you to international destinations with minimal fuss.

The Faculty Offers Exceptional Service Throughout Your Stay

Further setting The Faculty apart is the excellence of service. Your Guest Services Manager will greet you personally on arrival, providing a warm welcome and a complimentary welcome pack stocked with essentials and treats, which provides the perfect start to any stay. 


Throughout your stay, the team is available 24-hours-a-day in case of emergencies, and a dedicated housekeeping team provides weekly servicing with fresh towels and bed linen as standard.


On-site allocated parking is available, subject to availability and an additional charge, and the apartments are equally suited to short breaks and long-term stays, offering all the independence you could want, with attentive, professional support always in the background.
