We stayed here one Sunday night on the way to elsewhere. It didn't disappoint. The whole hotel is in mint condition and they have spent a lot of money on the little touches that make it lovely eg everything is B&O, large rooms with sofa and extra seating and the bathrooms are well thought out and spacious with everything you...

We were made to feel so welcome when we arrived and nothing was too much trouble. The bedroom we had and just generally the interior of the hotel is gorgeous. So clean, modern and classy. Had a perfect nights sleep (may have had something to do with the amazing cocktails being served at the bar too!) was expecting there to... More

Stayed in the Forbury for just one night over Easter, as a treat. Wish it had been longer! Our room was amazing- huge copper bath in the room, with a little shelf that was perfectly placed for holding our Champagne :) Lovely little touches in the room- B&O sound system complete with some cool CDs meant we didn't have to...

Booked a junior suite for a Saturday night, it was just as expected as per the website. Very comfortable and lots of amenities. The hotels' interior is beautiful and we enjoyed cocktails in the bar before heading out. The only one small downside was that it was a warm day and the room did get quite hot and there isn't...

I will keep it short, last Sunday my Brother held his wedding reception at The Forbury and all I can say is Amazing! STAFF: 5 Stars, Sebastian went out of his way to help me personally with a presentation screen, the staff in the bar area throughout the day and night could not have been any friendlier. FOOD: 5 Stars,... More

My wife and I stayed at The Forbury last Friday as a get away from the kids for a night. On arrival we were greeted after a couple of minutes by the bell boy (man) who took us up to reception and then took the car for parking. Check in was a breeze with us being the only people in... More

We stayed last weekend and whilst this hotel is very beautiful our bedroom was boiling hot. We asked for the heating to be turned down and were told this was controlled at Reception but on our return it was still incredibly hot. The problem is that the underfloor heating and heated towel rail kick out enormous amounts of heat and... More

Good location, beautifully decorated contemporary and individual rooms, with modern bathrooms that have it all. Very nice restaurant (Cerise), and the cocktails at the bar are interesting and individual. Now I was on a business trip sadly, but if i ever planned to holiday in the Reading area(some would), or indeed have a romantic weekend break, this hotel has it... More

We stayed at the Forbury after attending a party in the Cerise cocktail lounge. The hotel is stunning, full of wonderful art and achitectural features. Our bedroom was fabulous, it was just a shame we only got to spend a short while in it. It was all very luxurious with nice views over Forbury Gardens opposite. Breakfast the next day... More

We had a lovely welcome. The room was simply gorgeous and of definite 5 star quality. I could not have asked for a comfier bed, cleaner... More
