Top Forbury Gardens Hotel Reviews

ibis Reading Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great breakfast and cheerful happy staff."

The Market House

8/10 Good

"Ideally located in the centre of Reading. Very nice room equipped with all the amenities you could need. Only downside was the noise from the bar area below which could be heard in the room until 11pm. Despite this, I would stay here again."

pentahotel Reading

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place to have as a base for a university reunion - great bar to come back to after dining out, excellent value for money, able to check in on Saturday early, and they automatically have late check out on a Sunday till 3pm. Message them in advance for the discount code for 40% off at the Q-Park 5 mins walk away."

Malmaison Reading

8/10 Good

"The hotel its self is lovely! The room was great and the bed was genuinely one of the most comfortable hotel beds I’ve stayed in! Just be aware it’s on a busy street near the station and some pubs and can be quite loud!"

Novotel Reading Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location, nice bar, amazing pool"

Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading

8/10 Good

"Staff were friendly and helpful. I loved the fridge and microwave availability. My only comment is there was no interior latch on the ground floor window which I would have preferred. But the location was convenient to Reading's main areas."

easyHotel Reading

8/10 Good

"Nice stay, beds were comfy and it’s only a 10 minute walk from the station. The only thing we had an issue with was when we checked in the receptionist loudly announced our room number so it was heard by other guests. As two young women, it’s not safe for others to know our room number so we would appreciate if staff were trained to not do this."

Blagrave Rooms

8/10 Good

"Room was good clean and great access for reading city"

Garner Reading City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The accessible twin room was perfect for travelling with my Mum who has limited mobility. It was the first (only?) room on the ground floor. It was spacious and good to have rails by the walk-in shower and toilet. Although my Mum uses a walking stick and not a wheelchair we could see it being perfect for someone who does. We liked the little table and chairs, The hotel is within a short walk from restaurants and shops. The staff on reception were friendly."
