Fashionably and stylishly decorated hotel. Staff are very pleasant. Room was suite no.32 and had a copper bath in front of fire. Molton Brown Smellies and Bang and Olufsen sound system. Comfy bed and furniture. Lovely soft furnishings. Only thing that let the hotel down was the restaurant. It was very expensive and was charging Michelin star prices but the... more

I've travelled all over Europe on business and stayed in some fabulous places - this hotel is on my doorstep - stayed for a big birthday - one of my favourite hotels - can't fault it (other than the rates - but you get what you pay for - just wish I could stay more often!). more

The Forbury Hotel is our home from home when visiting family and friends in Reading, which we do at least four times a year. The quality of service has been consistent on every occasion and each one of their sumptuous rooms is appointed beautifully. The bathrooms are every girl's dream. It is one of the finest hotels we've stayed in... more

Booked on the day so got a great deal via late rooms - interestingly the hotel didn't offer the same deal when trying to book direct with them. Lovely welcome, room beautiful, staff really helpful. Breakfast great although breakfast staff not quite as attentive as the front desk/porters. Will definately go again as the new Eden restaurant looks great. more

We have previously been to the Forbury and loved it - although we thought the service could improve alot for the price! We stayed for the Bank Holiday weekend end May for a superb deal (around half the advertised rate on the website) for B+B, Luxury Room, with one night's dinner in Cerise also included (without drinks) - it was... more

This a splendid hotel with fabulous bedrooms all individually styled & sumptious bathrooms.The staff are extremely helpful & professional, nothing is too much trouble. For a real gastronomique experience eat in the Eden restaurant where the ingeniouscombinations of flavours and textures remain with you long after you've eaten. The Cerise restaurant and bar is very fashionable and great for a... more

Stayed at the Forbury and for once I was really happy with everything about a hotel. The rooms are fabulous- great bathrooms including sound system and lovely decor with tasteful paintings and sculpture. Nice attention to detail with furnishings and a memorably comfortable bed. Emma,the general manager couldn't have been more helpful and consequently I will definitely be back more

I chose to surprise my wife for her 30th birthday with a weekend away at The Forbury, I opted for the forbidden weekend, which included dinner in their fine dinning restaurant Eden. I decided to upgrade us to the Grand Suite (Room 18), a wonderful room which has a four poster bed, an open area with sofa's and chairs and... more

We stayed here for two nights on our wedding night and we loved it. The room was beautiful with a massive bathroom. Everything felt luxurious and wonderful. We also ate here and the meal was amazing. All the staff were lovely. I'd definitely go again. more

We stayed at The Forbury for New Year's Eve 2008 as we wanted to treat ourselves after a tough year. Check in was fine and the car was parked by a valet (although they did not tell us in advance that this would cost an extra £10 which I thought was a bit much given that we were already paying... more
