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.
I booked this room very last minute for work and was blown away by the quality and value for money. My initial room was very small, but I was anticipating that and it was still excellent value, however I got a free upgrade which was very appreciated. Free whiskey and/or sloe gin for guests, an excellent restaurant below. A short walk from the centre of Reading and in a quiet area. 10/10 doesn't do it justice, was one of my best hotel experiences when on work.
Incredibly friendly & welcoming reception staff- hotel is located in centre of Reading above a large bar/ restaurant which wouldn't usually be my ideal however I was on second floor at rear & had very peaceful stay- it was Friday night so was bit concerned but no worries there. Tastefully decorated & very well fitted out accommodation, everything I could hope for.
- Value for money..one is looking for cheap/clean hotel.
- Hotel has a large parking space if you are driving
- Staff are good and helpful. I stayed here for more than 10 days and we became friends
- Hotel location is good. Walkable distance from Reading central. 2 minutes from public park
clean modern hotel, great value, nice vibe inside, hotel lobby bar area good place to hang out with games, bar, live music. location very good, right in the centre of reading, without being too loud. room was very quiet. I have and would stay again.
This is your typical B&B, with small functional rooms, a reasonable breakfast and located about a ten minute walk from central Reading. A major benefit is free onsite parking, making it an inexpensive place to stay for those with a car.
The hotel is a bit old style, but my stay was ok.
The staff was friendly and helpful.
It is located 20 minutes walk from Reading town centre, and 2 minutes walk from a bus stop that goes straight to town and to the train station.
Excellent place to stay for a young family. Kitchen facilities are very handy. Apartment was very clean and well maintained. Location was very central. Would recommend to any family looking for a place to stay in Reading.
Very convenient, near to almost all the restaurants and shops. 5mins walk to train station. The staff are very helpful and friendly. This is our second time in the hotel. As always, Marissa and Toni are exeptional.
We thought we had booked the hotel in the centre of Reading so were disappointed that we had the incorrect one. Not the hotels fault but the location was not what we had hoped for. Hotel itself is lovely.
