The Abbey House Hotel, hotel in Reading

The Abbey House Hotel is located a 10-minute walk to Reading town centre, in a quiet residential area. It offers free Wi-Fi and free parking to all guests.

The room was very nicely decorated, spacious , the carpet looked as if it was very new. There was a large flatscreen on the wall so you could comfortably watch tv. The bathroom was very clean, there was a sticker to say the hotel was a green hotel to avoid water wastage which was a nice touch . The shower was spacious and was also immaculate, not one water mark on the glass door! The whole room felt very clean and well maintained . The first impressions of the hotel is it’s in a quiet residential it’s smart looking and on the corner of the road. Up the top of the road as you come out, the Gentleman on the reception pointed out very kindly there is a 33 bus which if your needing to commute to town for work is handy their approx every twenty minutes ie 7:03 then 7:24. To walk it , give yourself thirty minutes as the centre is not too nearby. There is however 2 minutes from the bus stop a train station so you have that option also. If your looking for somewhere with no night time noise , clean and comfortable, this is a good choice hotel.

FAQs about hotels in Reading








Work and Play Beside the Thames

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. 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.

    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.

    Despite the confirmation I have, and even my card information being available the hotel canceled my booking. Further, When I ask they reply that they are overbooked and who was coming first they give him the room . My advice to the traveler's please do not trust what so-called pay at the property!!! It's an unethical business process. THEY SPOILED ALL MY WORK PLANS FOR THE NEXT DAY. I choose the location in propose this people do not understand people travel to do their work!!!!

    Awesome property in a fantastic location close enough to downtown Reading that you can get there with a leisurely walk, but also in a quiet area that feels like you're in a home away from home. Fully equipped kitchen as well. Very close to Prospect Park (a great destination for a walk, run, or to play for your kids).
