The staff were VERY friendly and helpful. The room was clean, well-equipped, quiet, and warm, with very comfortable beds. We appreciated having a kettle in the room with a choice of tea and coffee. I enjoyed using the hotel's swimming pool. The breakfast was tasty with a variety of food choices, including the opportunity to try local cuisine. We also enjoyed a view of the Thames River from the hotel restaurant:)

At the meeting point of the Thames and Kennet rivers, affluent Reading is close to London, yet far enough to feel completely different. For this reason it is an important business hub, particularly for IT. The M4 motorway runs directly from here to Heathrow Airport, and trains from its station terminate at Paddington.
The town has literary connections to Jane Austen – whose school was in the Abbey Gateway – and Oscar Wilde, who was imprisoned in its jail. Nowadays, the Reading Festival is its biggest cultural event and has earned a place in the town hall museum. However, its most impressive exhibit is a replica of the Bayeux Tapestry.
The Reading shopping options include Broad Street and The Oracle, a riverside complex also housing bars, cinemas and restaurants. The river continues south to one of the town’s green spaces, some housing golf courses. Forbury Gardens features a bandstand and large lion statue, and next door are ruins of an abbey founded by Henry I.
Potential day trips include the Roman remains at Silchester, and river cruises to Henley-on-Thames, while sport lovers should visit the Madejski Stadium, home of Reading FC and London Irish rugby club.
Booking.com’s Reading accommodation includes hotels with spas, cheap apartments and guest houses with parking.

In truth, I didn't visit Reading for the town itself, but to see my daughter who lives in a flat there. We drove around for a short while, so that we could see some shops and eat out somewhere. We had a short stop on a barge to have a nice cup of tea then later ate at The Oracle in a Japaneese restaurant called OSAKA at Unit 16, Riverside Level. OSAKA had a really good vibe as well as good food ;-) I didn't find Reading particularly interesting, as it somehow felt like a jumble of concrete buildings and roads. No doubt it has some hidden treasures, like the barge we found to have tea on - which needed to be booked. It has to be said that I didn't have many hours there at all, therefore, nothing was espeically planned.

There are many shops, restaurants in the area. We visited Bill's and as ever it was perfect for a light lunch while shopping.
In the evening we went to the slug and lettuce for pornstar martinis. There is a cinema and other attractions close by and it was amazing walking down by the river.

The town and the major roads into it are extremely busy.
The town and the major roads into it are extremely busy. Lots of traffic lights and some complex junctions and lane changing. We did not stop in the town centre because that was not the object of our visit. The golf course looked tempting but that will have to wait for another time.

I am familiar with Reading, but, for those not so familiar, the area can be a little noisy, to be expected, given the central location. Everything is on your doorstep. Shops, clubs, etc. Never lack of anything to do, places to check out, shops, etc. Eateries to suit all tastes and budgets!

We love the Forbury Gardens and Reading Abbey.
We love the Forbury Gardens and Reading Abbey.
We had an excellent meal at "Veeno's" near The Forbury which serves fabulous authentic Italian food and the atmosphere is unbeatable.
The evening was completed with a visit to "High Spirits" in Kings Walk. It serves the most wonderful and imaginative cocktails in the whole of Reading. The staff are very knowledgeable and personable and service is swift and courteous. Highly recommended.
The room was spotless and beautiful, and the staff could not have been more welcoming. You can't beat the location, either--such a great place for exploring Reading, and its proximity to the train station makes it a great (and much less expensive) base for exploring Oxford, which is a half hour train ride away. The shower was fabulous, and the toiletries smell so good (also appreciate that they're in refillable containers). The AC was perfect. Thank you for everything!
The hotel is a short walk from Reading main railway station and was therefore ideally situated for me. Booking in was a quick and painless process and the provision of two key cards was a bonus as one was in place when re-entering the hotel bedroom at night which meant there was no need to fumble in the dark to switch on the lights! There was an excellent choice in the breakfast room which was appreciated.
Excellent price. Small but comfortable single room.Very clean with en suite toilet & shower room.& coffee and tea in room. Staff polite friendly and knowledgeable about neighbourhood.. Bus number 33 on Tilehurst Rd just a few metres from hotel took me to Reading Town Centre and Rail Station in ten minutes.
A ground floor two bedroom apartment with good sized open plan living/dining/kitchen area. It is located in a new development about a 10' walk from Reading Town centre & railway station. It was well equipped, free parking on site, and a short 5' walk to the large Tesco supermarket.
Room was a good size. The bed was very comfortable and an excellent size. Easy access to the hotel. Tea and coffee facilities in the room. Excellent location for centre of Reading and the bus service. Car park was a reasonable price and not far from the hotel.
The Roseate is in a great location, close to the town centre shops and restaurants. The staff are very helpful and the breakfast options at the hotel are brilliant. This is our second stay at the Roseate and we'll definitely be returning next time we are in Reading.
Very good for an overnight stay in Reading. The room was spacious, staff were courteous, breakfast was good, and the room was reasonably priced. The hotel was a pleasant 25 minute walk from the train station. Very good overall.
Hotel just 10 mins from Reading station & in the centre of the town so everything was on your doorstep. Lovely old building, great room with good opening windows & a fan. Lovely staff, great value for money.
The Pentahotel is in a great location. Walking distance from the station. Lots of shops and town centre is literally 2 min walk. Lots of games to play at the hotel. Nice bar area.
