Luxury Reading Apartment: Queens Terrace Perfection!
Alright, buckle up, because this is NOT your average hotel review. We're diving headfirst into Luxury Reading Apartment: Queens Terrace Perfection! and I'm not gonna lie, I'm still processing the whole experience. Let's get messy, shall we?
First Impressions: The Entrance (and My Anxiety)
Okay, so I'm terrible at directions. Seriously. Even with GPS, I can get lost in a phone booth. So, finding the apartment was a mini-adventure. Thankfully, once I, a complete and utter mess, finally arrived, the "doorman" (bless his soul, he was more of a friendly greeter) pointed me in the right direction. [Accessibility] I did notice an elevator, which was a HUGE sigh of relief because my knees are… well, they're not friends of stairs. So, thumbs up on that front! I mean, with the elevator, it's definitely more accessible. Now, the lobby… I can't stress enough how nice that first impression was.
The Room: My Sanctuary or My Mess (It's a Fine Line)
The apartment itself? Oh my GAWD. [Available in all rooms: everything!] Air conditioning? Check. Blackout curtains? DOUBLE check. I need those because I sleep like a vampire. The bed? Heaven in mattress form. Seriously, I almost didn't leave it. [Extra long bed] Huge plus! [Non-smoking rooms] I was so happy about that and the air smelt nice. The bathroom… okay, it was fancy. [Separate shower/bathtub] I'm a bath person, so this made me ridiculously happy. [Bathrobes] Yes! [Slippers] Double yes! [Toiletries] All the good stuff, none of the boring hotel soap. The [Refrigerator] was a lifesaver for all my snacks. And the [Free Wi-Fi]? Crucial. I mean, I’m a blogger, I need that. Plus, even with the bad internet, they had great [Internet Access - LAN].
Now, the imperfections? Well, the coffee maker was a bit…idiosyncratic. I swear I spent half an hour trying to figure it out. And the [Hair dryer] was a little weak. But, honestly? Small potatoes. The reading light over the bed? Perfection. I found the [Desk] ideal to work from and found the [Laptop workspace] ideal for work, but could have used an extra plug for all my gadgets. (A minor moan, I know.)
The “Things to Do” Debacle (and the Pool with a View)
Okay, so… the [Fitness center], I attempted. I mean, they have a whole [Spa]. A [Pool with a view], a [Sauna], a [Steamroom]. I had grand plans to become a wellness goddess. But, let's be real. I ended up spending most of my time by that [Swimming pool] (it seriously is stunning), ordering a cocktail from the [Poolside bar] and enjoying the view. The [Massage] was seriously, heavenly. The spa was great too, but I wish they included a [Body scrub] option.
[Dining, drinking, and snacking]: Food Glorious Food (and My Shameful Room Service)
The food. Oh, the food. Let's start with the fact the [Room service [24-hour]] is a complete game-changer. After a long day of doing basically nothing, I indulged. The [A la carte in restaurant] seemed good, but I was in pajamas for the better part of two days. The [Breakfast [buffet]] looked amazing. But I was so busy enjoying the [Coffee/tea in restaurant], I didn't get around to trying it. I did get a [Bottle of water] that came with the room and tried to eat something light in the [Salad in restaurant].
They also had a few [Restaurants], and the [Asian cuisine in restaurant] looked amazing!
Safety and Cleanliness: The Sanitization Symphony (and My Germophobia)
Okay, so I’m a bit of a clean freak (don’t judge). The fact that they had [Professional-grade sanitizing services] and used [Anti-viral cleaning products] made me breathe a HUGE sigh of relief. [Rooms sanitized between stays]? YES. [Staff trained in safety protocol]? Music to my germaphobe ears. I appreciated the [Hand sanitizer] everywhere and the [Daily disinfection in common areas]. They even had a [Doctor/nurse on call], which, hey, you never know!
Services and Conveniences: Perks of Paradise (and Meant for a King!)
[Cash withdrawal], [Concierge], [Daily housekeeping], [Laundry service], and a [Gift/souvenir shop]? Basically, they thought of everything. [Air conditioning in public area] was lovely. The [Elevator] was much appreciated for my lazy, tired self.
Accessibility, My Take
I have to say, the elevator, the helpful staff, and the generally thoughtful set-up made this a pretty accessible experience for me. From [Facilities for disabled guests] and [Check-in/out [express]], it felt considered, and not just an afterthought.
For the Kids: Family Fun (And My Secret Desire to Babysit!)
I don't have kids, but I did notice the [Kids facilities] and [Babysitting service]. Seems like a great place to bring the little ones!
Okay, the Verdict
This place? It's gorgeous. Flawless is not the word. The imperfect parts are what make it an experience, and the people are lovely, and the location is great!

Bingham Riverhouse London: Unbelievable Luxury Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your perfectly-curated Instagram feed. This is my attempt at a travel itinerary, ripped from the messy pages of… well, my brain, planning a potential (emphasis on potential) trip based out of Queens Terrace by Select SA Apt 1 in Reading, UK. Let’s see if I can actually make this happen without spontaneously combusting from decision fatigue.
The Queens Terrace Debacle: A Reading Rhapsody (Maybe)
Day 1: Arrival and the Dreaded Supermarket Run
- Morning (Because I’m always running late): Arrive at… well, some airport, hopefully London Heathrow, because frankly, Gatwick is just a black hole of missed connections waiting to happen. Pray to the travel gods the flight isn't delayed. My anxiety is already spiking.
- Anecdote: Picture this: me, disheveled, trying to navigate Heathrow with a suitcase the size of a small car. Last time I flew, I forgot my passport (twice!) This time, I’m aiming for “relatively functional human being.” Wish me luck.
- Afternoon: Journey from the airport (ugh, probably a train. Or a taxi, if my bank account allows. Let's not think about the potential for train delays…) to Reading. The sheer thought of the journey is exhausting. The first experience will be going to the flat.
- Quirky Observation: British trains. Forever plagued by “unexpected delays” and the faint smell of old ham sandwiches. But hey, at least they (usually) get you where you need to go, eventually.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening: Check into Queens Terrace by Select SA Apt 1. Hopefully, it's not haunted. Or, worse, the WiFi is terrible. That's a deal-breaker. Unpack (if I can find the motivation). Stare at the walls. Contemplate the meaning of life.
- Evening: The Supermarket Scramble. The True Test.
- Emotional Reaction: Hunger pangs already. The absolute horror of the first supermarket run in a new country. The endless aisles. The unfamiliar brands. The struggle to decipher what the hell “pork scratchings” actually are. I will panic.
- Anecdote: Last time I attempted a supermarket run abroad, I managed to buy a jar of pickled something-or-other that was so vile, it almost made me cry. I spent the rest of the trip silently cursing the person who invented pickled… things.
- Messy Structure: I'm probably going to end up buying way too much. I'll get excited and buy things I don't even need. Chips. Chocolate. And at least one pre-made sandwich that will undoubtedly be soggy by lunchtime tomorrow.
- Dinner: Hopefully something eatable. If all else fails, I'll order takeaway. Because, you know, research.
Day 2: Reading Explorations (Or, The Quest for Decent Coffee)
- Morning: Wake up. Drink coffee. (Important. Crucial).
- Rambling: The problem with good coffee in travel is finding it. It’s like a treasure hunt. Or like finding a unicorn. The fear of bland, instant garbage is real. I’ll probably spend a solid hour Google-mapping "best coffee in Reading."
- Mid-Morning: Explore Reading. The Oracle Shopping Centre, I guess? Maybe a stroll along the Kennet and Avon Canal.
- Opinionated Language: Shopping centers are a necessary evil, I suppose. But I'd rather be outside. Nature. Not fluorescent lights and the incessant hum of escalators.
- Messy Structure: Honestly, I'll probably get lost. And grumpy. And end up accidentally wandering into some obscure antique shop filled with dusty things and a very judgey cat.
- Lunch: Pretend I'm cultured and have lunch somewhere trendy. Or end up at a greasy spoon. Either way, I need sustenance. And more coffee.
- Afternoon: The Abbey Ruins – A Deep Dive (Maybe)
- Stronger Emotional Reactions: I'm weirdly obsessed with ruins. The idea of history, crumbling, and forgotten… It gives me chills. Reading Abbey. I must go. If the weather is crap.
- Quirky Observation: Think of all the stories those walls have seen. The monks, the battles, the dramas! I could spend hours. I might linger too long. I have a feeling I'll get lost in the ruins.
- Evening: Dinner. Pub. I love a good pub. I want a proper British meal. A pie. A burger. A pint. A pint of what? Hmmm…research required.
- Imperfections: I'll probably spill something down my front. And definitely talk too loud after a few pints. But who cares? It's Reading! Or at least, I hope it's Reading (and not Slough).
Day 3: Day Trip Delights (Or, The Curse of Choice)
- Morning: The eternal dilemma of the day trip! Windsor? Oxford? London?! So. Many. Choices. Panic starts.
- Rambling: What if I pick the wrong one? What if one is marginally better than the others? The pressure! Probably have half-hearted research but get lost in the depths of Google Maps and get distracted by cat videos.
- Mid-Morning: Decide. (Probably the night before, after endless agonizing. It’s a mental hurdle.). Catch a train. Try not to miss it.
- Afternoon: The chosen adventure! Windsor Castle? Oxford's colleges? The stress of deciding will be over.
- Doubling Down on a Single Experience - Specifically, If London:* If I did London, I’d need a plan. I'm good with museums and galleries, especially if I can escape the crowds. I'd want to see the Tower of London. Possibly The Shard. But I'd probably spend most of the day rushing.
- Evening: Return to Reading. Collapse. Sleep.
- Messy Structure: The late-night train will be a nightmare. Everyone tired. Everyone cranky.
Day 4: Wind-down and Departure (Or, The Epilogue of Exhaustion)
- Morning: Sleep in. Or try to. I’ll probably wake up earlier than I intend.
- Stronger Emotional Reactions: The realization that the trip is ending. A surge of melancholy. I don't want to leave.
- Mid-Morning: Last-minute souvenir shopping. Maybe grab some postcards. I’ll probably forget to mail them.
- Afternoon: Pack. Curse myself for bringing too much stuff.
- Opinionated Language: Travel packing is an art form I have yet to master.
- Late Afternoon: Final farewell to Queens Terrace (sniffle). Head for the airport (again, hoping it's Heathrow).
- Evening: Flight home. Jet lag. The end.
- Impatience and Frustration: I'll be dreaming of British pubs and dodgy supermarket sandwiches for weeks.
- Messy Structure: I'll probably forget something vital.
- Honest Ending: Okay. I'm tired just thinking about this trip. But hopefully, it will be slightly less disastrous than my previous attempts at travel. That's the aim, anyway. And if so, I'll be happy. Probably. Maybe. Okay, definitely after the first few cups of tea.
Is "Luxury Reading Apartment: Queens Terrace Perfection!" actually perfect? (Spoiler: Probably not.)
What *is* it like actually *living* there? Like, beyond the glossy photos?
Okay, about the cat… tell me *everything* about this cat.
The "reading" part... is it actually conducive to reading? Or is it just a marketing gimmick?
What was the WORST thing about it? Be honest!
Okay, but seriously, would you recommend it?
