Reading is an ancient city and we could have spent more time understanding its history. The downtown has been developed into pedestrian malls with shopping and restaurants at all price points. Public transportation is very good.
Reading is pretty much a work/college town. The only place we found interesting as tourists was the Rural Life Museum. It's a good place to stay when you just want to take a train into London.
Bottled water available. Great bar and restaurant facilities and extremely helpful staff. Swimming pool and sauna available and beauty spa. Generous breakfast buffet and they cater for gluten free needs. All staff were helpful, obliging and created a great atmosphere.
Visitors should go to the oracle, on the back of oracle where there is the canal, you'll find lots of restaurants. Pub /nights - don't miss purple turtle and Alehouse. very good music and lots of local. Alehouse the selection of beers are amazing. Fancy something posh - go along the canal and you'll find a boat that's a restaurant. Important to book in advance. Brunch - Yolks, its always busy and amazing food, worth the wait. Brazilian restaurant - Pau Brazil. Authentic real food! If you're bringing family along a good place to have picknic is at Christchurch meadow's, open areas and lots of places to sit. Make sure to walk along the canal as it's a great way to see the town.
Reading is a good place to recover from a long-haul air journey. The express coach service takes you directly from Heathrow Airport to Reading in less than 1 hour. Reading offers good food, pubs, and shopping. We enjoyed walking along the Thames River. The local population is very diverse and international for such a small city. Train connections are very good. There is a daily train to Edinburgh, which bypasses London.
Could not believe how central Reading is for driving out into country. Thames river cruise through to locks & historic homes . Would like to spend a week driving to Cotswolds, Stratford apon Avon & other great places. Hired car in Reading .
“The hotel was clean and comfortable, the room was very spacious. The staff were very polite and friendly; the cleaners visited my room later in the day after the first night so as not to bother me and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. The window provided a nice view of the back garden and the bedside light made it easy to read before bed in the evenings, I would happily stay here again.”
“The breakfast was awesome, the bed was very comfortable, the whole room was immaculate, as was everywhere we went in the hotel and every last staff person was very welcoming and friendly. Best hotel we visited in our five country vacation/holiday!!”
“This boutique hotel is beautiful. Our room, room 1, was recently updated. Very large. Wonderful shower. Owner was so nice. Free parking. Breakfast was good. Several busses run in front of hotel. Easy to get to Reading Station.”
“Location is great while working at the Greenwave business park; a bit remote when going out in Reading at night. The "full British breakfast" is quite good. Rooms are spacious, staff is all very friendly. Tons of parking due to the adjacent sports stadium; have never stayed here when there was an event.”
“The staff, the staff, it is all about staff and they were absolutely fantastic! The food in this hotel is superb; in addition, the cocktails and aperitifs stand comparison with the best hotels in the world and do not fall short! The music playing in our room (a suite) was a wonderful welcome and it set the tone for our two night stay. It was called "It's All About Love" by Preisner. The first thing I did on returning home was to buy the CD. Thank you, The Forbury Hotel, you were great! (And we will be back)”
