ibis Reading Centre, hotel in Reading

With a central location, 2 minutes' walk from Reading Railway Station and the pubs on Friar Street, ibis Reading Center (new ibis rooms) offers rooms with air cooling.

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.

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.

    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.

    It’s difficult to walk into twin from the hotel.

    It’s difficult to walk into twin from the hotel. Easier to drive or taxi. River walk is pleasant. I would not walk outside late at night especially if in your own as it’s not the best area. Shop centre has high end stores and better vfm is on Broad street. Plenty of places to dine . Bracknell which is a 25 minute drive away has a very pleasant shopping centre also. Reading is well located for visiting attractions in all directions within a radius of 30 miles.

    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!!!!

    Great Location! This place is right on the main street in the town centre, so it's super easy to go shopping and find places to eat. It's only a 5-minute walk from the train station. The room was really clean and had everything we needed. The host always replied quickly when we messaged them. There's no lift, but that wasn't a problem for us because we didn't have much luggage. We highly recommend this place and will definitely stay here again when we come back to Reading!

The bed standard meant that we slept well. We paid for breakfast and had a good traditional cooked meal. There were alternatives. When we go to Reading and want to stay in a hotel, we will use this one.
