Top Forbury Gardens Hotel Reviews

Village Hotel Reading

8/10 Good

"Spent 2 nights here as attending a festival. Booked a room with a balcony which was given to someone else on the first night.... Breakfast was good with quite a few choices but they had run out of gluten-free bread which was a shame. Overall a decent enough stay."

pentahotel Reading

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was nice and clean I was just missing iron and hair dryer in my room other than that everything was good."

Novotel Reading Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel - stayed with friends for a weekend away for a festival nearby and all was great. Rooms a bit tired but very clean and beds comfy with good showers. Breakfast was excellent - not too busy and lots of choice and good quality. Will definitely be back."

Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were incredibly friendly. Great location near good shops and restaurants. Very clean and we got upgraded into the coach house which has a very modern ,spotless bathroom ."

Malmaison Reading

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent in every respect."

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."

Celador Apartments - Sussex House Serviced Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Well equipped apartment for our family stay! Levi was incredibly helpful to make our check in process so smooth and answer all of our questions!"

100 Kings Road by House of Fisher

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely flats close to town center. Lively home away from home. "

THE FORBURY

8/10 Good

"The apartment was clean and tidy and comfortable. The outside area is scruffy and overgrown, bit of an eyesore. Annoying the tv wouldn't load any terrestrial channels, so unless you have Netflix or Prime, you've nothing to watch in the evenings. Because there's no reception, the process of finding out how you get into the place is a bit protracted. I had to email the owners on the day I was checking in as I hadn't received any information about how to get into the apartment. Fair play, their support got back to me very promptly to tell me they couldn't process a 'damage waiver' pre-payment because I booked through Hotels.com and sent me a link to register my details. But had I not emailed them, I might have driven for 4 hours to Reading and not been able to access the property on arrival having already paid for my stay. Think the owners need to have a better system in place for when that happens. Take control and not leave the paying customer scrambling around on the day they're about to arrive."
