Stayed here for one night . Our room was a good size and spotless but I did find the bed extremely hard so I did not sleep as well as I had hoped. Breakfast was enjoyable. The hotel is in a very good location as it is only a very short walk into the centre of town. Parking was a... More

Stayed here for two nights for a wedding. Lovely rooms, and other spaces in the hotel. Breakfast was average. Food and cocktails at the wedding breakfast was amazing. The staff are the real stars. They went out of the way to make ME comfortable. A wardrobe malfunction was avoided due to the kind efforts of the team. They were also... More

A beautiful hotel, luxurious interiors complemented by staff who are absolute stars. The breakfasts and dinner were great, the best night's sleep I have had in ages - a perfect mattress (please tell me where to get one from!) and My only negative experience is the shower was a little confusing and it takes a while to figure out which...

I visited the hotel in late May 2013 for two nights. I'd worked in Reading a couple of years back and stayed for a number of months at the Old George in the centre of Reading. On a the return visit I decided to treat my wife to a couple of nights at the Forbury. Looking at the tripadvisor reviews... More

The hotel is fantastic. Beautifully adorned and great friendly staff. The amenities and utilities were fantastic in almost every way. We stayed at a 5 star hotel in London, and this hotel was just as nice as the great 4 star Hotels in London. There is only one little issue with this hotel. It does not have individually controlled thermostat... More

From the outside you couldn't tell what a beautiful hotel this is. The service was fantastic the minute we stepped through the door. Our car was parked for us and luggage taken to the room. Beautiful furnishings and finishes throughout the hotel with no expense spared. We had welcome champagne and chocolates waiting for us. Molton and Brown toiletries to... More

We stayed at the Forbury for a one night break, which was an offer on their website. From the moment we parked, the customer service was excellent. We had cocktails in the bar, dinner, bed and breakfast. In summary, the service was great. The rooms were large and comfortable with all of the mod-cons. The bathroom we had was massive!... More

Fabulous stay at the Forbury! (despite being stuck in the lift for 15 minutes! - staff were pretty mortified this had happened). One night stay after a trip to a nearby Spa. Beautiful room with everything you would need & fabulous roomy bathroom. All pretty positive, apart from the curtains and some furniture needs updating. Excellent Customer Service throughout our...
