About this space

The M1-M2 Meeting Room is a combined meeting room in Novotel Reading Centre defined by an adaptable layout created by joining two interconnecting rooms.

Design: The room presents a neutral, functional finish of muted loop-pile carpet, pale wood panelling and a suspended acoustic ceiling. The lighting is even and practical, delivered by recessed downlights and full-height curtains that sit in front of glazing.

Features: The room includes a built-in PA system and speakers and permits hosts to play their own music or bring a DJ. The space also provides Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and a cleared area suitable for a dance floor, together with wheelchair access and accessible toilets. A noise restriction applies.

Ideal for: Small groups and corporate teams seeking a practical boardroom-style layout or a relaxed standing reception with a compact dance area.

What sets it apart: The adaptable layout created by joining two interconnecting rooms allows flexible room plans without structural alterations.

What guests say: The room is consistently described as practical and well-lit, with reliable basic facilities suitable for meetings and small social gatherings.
