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.
The location is stunning. Situated on a bend of the Thames, our room had access to a balcony with wonderful views over the hotel gardens and the river.
All the staff were very helpful and friendly.
We ate in the restaurant one evening to celebrate a birthday. The food was great and the service was attentive without being intrusive. A perfect balance.
A very cosy bar with open log fire for pre and post dinner drinks.
Car parking just across the road.
Great location close to both Bracknell and Reading Town centre.
Good facilities, my partner enjoyed the gym and said the equipment was good and the gym wasn’t very busy. The pool was nice a decent size and had plenty of chairs and day beds for guests.
The hotel itself was very clean and looked new or refurbished. All in all a good stay.
Loved this hotel. Perfect location for visiting Reading for a nite. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and helpful. The room decor was very quirky and up to date. It was clean and comfortable. A good price for the centre of town on a Saturday night. Really nice bar there too. Good food. We will look forward to going back again soon
Start from the beginning, the accommodation was for good value, and the owner superb easy to communicate, honestly very nice lady,
Property was clean and tidy in very good location, close to town centre and all shops
Definitely I'll stay again when arrive to reading
Thank you
The room was very clean and tidy and the property was in a good location to the Reading Festival ware we were going. The reception was easy to find and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The bus stop was near to get into town centre.
We were able to check in at 12pm which was a real bonus. Clean and tidy hotel. Nothing fancy but bed comfortable and room nice and clean. Buffet breakfast was good quality. Location was excellent for both train station and town centre.
My partner and I love staying at Pentahotel. Every time we are in Reading we stay there: the rooms are amazing, the atmosphere is great, really nice staff and we overall always have an amazing time when we are there.
Clean, comfortable room. Recently built / refurbished by the look of it. Friendly staff, nice riverside location in pretty village, handy for Reading and much better than a city centre hotel stay
Breakfast was extra. I did not get. The place was nice, the shower was clean and powerful. And the rooftop garden was my absolute favourite thing about here. I stayed up just watching reading
It was in the center of reading so we could access all reading city center has to offer. It was a very well appointed apartment for the price of a small hotel room so what’s not to love.
Very good cooked to order English breakfast and selection of cereals, etc. Generally a nice hotel in the suburbs of Reading, with very convenient bus stops to/from Reading centre.
Good service, good facilities in room, close to local amenities and close to the university and Reading town centre.
Rooms are far from luxurious, but cozy and comfortable.
I chose the hotel because it was closest to the train station- it was very easy and convenient for our travel plans. It has everything you need for a short stay.
