The host was particularly helpful even before my arrival, as I needed assistance with navigation as I could not use Satnav. After a fraught drive on 2 motorways & despite enjoying the beautiful scenery due to an unexpected detour, I felt relieved to arrive at such a 'homely' looking hotel. Not here the usual long reception desk which graces many chain hotels, but a fine gentleman making me feel very welcome, who carried my bag for me & gave me a choice of two rooms, both on the ground floor. as I'd requested. Such a comfortable bed too & the best nights sleep I'd had for a week and woke to the sound of birds singing. Continental breakfast 1st day but full English on my 2nd morning, before my drive back 'up north'. Such an enjoyable stay so it's 5 Stars from me !

Work and Play Beside the Thames
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. 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.
We didn't have breakfast however there was a cafe virtually opposite that did Breakfast had we wanted one. the location is excellent right in the centre. The room was very clean and not a little quirky which made for a pleasant change from the bland so called budget Hotels, the Manager a lovely young lady whose name escapes me was very helpful and informative. It was our first stay there and we are likely to visit reading again and this will be the place we will choose,
The room was spotless and beautiful, and the staff could not have been more welcoming. You can't beat the location, either--such a great place for exploring Reading, and its proximity to the train station makes it a great (and much less expensive) base for exploring Oxford, which is a half hour train ride away. The shower was fabulous, and the toiletries smell so good (also appreciate that they're in refillable containers). The AC was perfect. Thank you for everything!
Location of this hotel was within 5 minutes walking distance from the main Reading railway and Bus station. The heart of the town centre was only 2 or 3 minutes walking distance away.
The bed was comfortable and the bathroom appeared to have had some recent refurbishment carried out.
Breakfast was adequate for a 4 star hotel.
The hotel is a short walking distance into the centre of Reading, and just happened to be on the bus route near friends, which was really convenient.
It is useful to have a fridge in hotel rooms. We didn’t need the microwave, but that might well be useful for some people.
The hotel is in a great location right in the centre of Reading and is easy to get to. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean with plenty of facilities and the bed was really comfortable. The options at breakfast were great and I had a really good stay.
The Roseate is in a great location, close to the town centre shops and restaurants. The staff are very helpful and the breakfast options at the hotel are brilliant. This is our second stay at the Roseate and we'll definitely be returning next time we are in Reading.
The hotel is fantastic. The facilities are great, and the service is excellent. The location is very convenient. Specifically, it is a short walk from the train station, and walking distance to restaurants, pubs, supermarkets, and banks.
We got a room which was sufficiently quiet to miss the music from downstairs. Room staff were pleasant and helpful. Location is great for attending events in Reading town centre and close to buses, trains and car parking.
Hotel room was clean, room was big enough for a family of 4, facilities in the room and hotel were good, breakfast was fresh and simple. We enjoyed our stay and we will be back again if we visit Reading.
