Top Forbury Gardens Hotel Reviews

Novotel Reading Centre

8/10 Good

"Always having to wait for the lifts, even though there are 3 here, there not always working... apart from this inconvenience the hotel is very good"

Village Hotel Reading

8/10 Good

"The room was lovely and bed supper comfy but then that would be expected as the room was expensive for what it was. Some biscuits with tea and coffee would have been nice. The toilet paper was very cheap quality which surprised me. Shower was fabulous and a good size. Tv was great quality and massive too. I hand the breakfast which was …’ok’ not bad but again quality was not great. Hash browns were not great at all a lacked flavour, texture and were like overcooked deep fried triangles of mash potato. Sausage were very very cheap and not really cooked very well. I could not believe (and was disappointed by) the fact they did not have any marmalade or raspberry jam. Coffee was great and the staff were very friendly too. A variety of teas would have been good. Alternative milk options seemed to not be an available either. I think a look at who supplies the food would be a good idea as it let the experience down rather."

pentahotel Reading

2/10 Terrible

"- Breakfast is very basic, would not recommend. Save your money and go somewhere else. - Bedrooms are very dirty and smelly. - Checked in to my bedroom which had a dirty toilet full of stains, the toilet would not flush properly. Water running thru the whole night. Sink getting blocked everytime you would open the tap. - Curtains don’t cover the window properly so you have direct sunlight coming into the room. - Windows are extremely thin so you would hear the cars, all thru the night. -Only positive thing is that the staff is very nice and goes above and beyond."

Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading

2/10 Terrible

"This is by far one of the worst hotels (I use the term loosely) that I have stayed in. The room was like a set from transpotting and had the most horrendous stench coming from god only knows where. I was put in one of the ‘other’ buildings, no idea what the rest of it is like but surely it can’t be any worse. Avoid at all costs "

Hotel 1843 Reading

8/10 Good

"I booked this room before reading the reviews and was quite frankly terrified it was going to a disaster! I even thought about bringing sleeping bags lol. I needn’t have worried. Whilst the bed wasn’t the most comfortable, the room was spacious and clean and the location is perfect if you are visiting central Reading. Just be aware it is above a bar so the music was quite loud but it finished at midnight and then we had a good nights sleep. "
