Nice room, good service, excellent breakfast. Be advice there is no airconditioning, you can not open fully windows, the smells from the restaurnt kitchen is going straight in the room and buffet on Saturdays is opened after 0800.

My husband and I have just returned from a wonderful night at the Roseate hotel after we were invited for a complementary stay. We stayed in the Roseate suite, a very large suite on the first floor of the hotel. The room has a four poster bed, dinning table and six chairs, large bath and rain shower with a seat, selection of dvds, cds, sound system, Nespresso machine, and a seating area. It is the ideal room for a special occasion. The only issue is in this hot weather there is no ac, but we made use of the fans provided.

We dined in the restaurant and were treated to a really wonderful meal. The Himalayan salt beef is a real stand out dish, with truffle potatoes and the palate cleanser of watermelon and wasabi was inspired. We enjoyed it so much we are already talking of returning!

I didn't make it down to breakfast but my husband enjoyed his full english and kindly brought me up a smoked salmon sandwich, that I enjoyed with a coffee in the room before we checked out.

We did a show round of the hotel afterwards, there's some lovely meeting rooms and I am now sorry we didn't make time to use the private cinema, which unlike several hotels I've stayed in is actually luxurious with a huge screen.

I'm really pleased we came for a follow up stay a few years after our first.

Excellent location, staff and facilities. Ideal venue for business meetings in comfortable surroundings a few minutes walk from the train station.

Formerly the Forbury, this hotel is in the center of reading, has great bars and restaurant and even an outside garden dining area.

Very good hotel one minor issue is the bathroom fan ran all night.

Love the decor, service, rooms & food. Super chic hotel. Definitely the best on offer in Reading.

Gorgeous hotel in a central location near to Reading town. Service was excellent and the only small issue that we had with a cocktail was rectified without fuss. We opted for breakfast in bed (it was our anniversary after all) and everything was delicious. We had a junior suite and couldn't have asked for a more perfect stay

We went for dinner at Cerise, in The Roseate. Great location, right across the road from Forbury Gardens, within minutes from Reading Station and the Oracle. Friendly staff, great food, quiet location for the centre of town. Well decorated hotel

Lovely hotel..fantastic location..staff cannot do enough for you..food nice..lovely architecture..especially the court building nxt door..

Really nice central hotel, a walk from the station. Large room, spacious! The only negative was the room had no heating

Went for mother's Day afternoon tea. Great selection for vegetarians.

Very smart environment. Good food and service. Expensive drinks.

As always great service at this hotel. Would only add a turn down service as we had room service before heading out at 7pm that was still in the room at 11am. Clean, tidy and high quality finish throughout the hotel.

Very good service. Very nice food. Very comfortable restaurant.

Food was rushed and cold, drinks took forever to arrive

Nice hotel. Really old building but classy. You have to try the apartments.

Very nice, clean and spacious hotel. Food in the restaurant was to an acceptable standard.

Absolutely fantastic hotel and restaurant. Great value for money and we really enjoyed the cinema night. The rooms are luxurious and great for a photoshoot. I use it for maternity and newborn photoshoots. It's really local to the city centre, close to the train station and has parking.

Ate here for our anniversary. Wonderful meal in very nice surroundings with a rather large cocktail menu.

Bed was hard, pillows were terrible and room service was bland with ice cream coming melted. BUT the bathroom was super nice, really enjoyed the large tub and rainfall shower. The hotel is a great location but a hard bed is hard to love for me.

Small portions. Tasty food. Bit of attitude from the bartending staff when challenged but acknowledged that I was right (with no apologie though...) Not the best value for money in reading but a lovely place to go to even though restaurant/bar area is subpar compared to the hotel

I only delivered to the Roseate so I cannot speak for what it would be like to stay there as a guest. However, it was extremely poorly signposted and the rooms were numbered unclearly. Also I did not receive a tip. All told it was a mediocre experience.

I attended a wedding being held here. It looked very luxurious, the interior decoration was up market and blended modern with a more traditional asphetic. The food was fine, we had a buffet and there were plenty of choices and plenty left for seconds if you wanted more (a good sign as a lot of places will skimp on portions). A couple of downsides were the size of the function rooms and the lack of adequate air conditioning in said function rooms. They were small only being able to hold about 15 - 20 people comfortably. We went on a very hot day and although the air conditioning was fine in the lobby and the hallways it felt non existent as soon as you entered the function rooms themselves. This resulted in an uncomfortable ceremony and a lots of sweating. They didn't even put fans in the room to assist which was a shame. Overall it was fine, I imagine in different circumstances it would be a lot more pleasent. On a cooler day I may have given it four stars instead of three.

Beautiful hotel. The quality in the detail made it one of the nicest overnights we've ever experienced. The room was gorgeous, the bar and restaurant intimate and staffed with the nicest hosts. We will be telling our friends and family how great this hotel is and returning with them.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay for an anniversary. A tranquil hideaway hidden in a rather busy reading. While there are no fancy facilities (gym, pool, spa) it was the perfect retreat from London.

The bar alone are great cocktails, although they did fail the Sazarac test!!

Booked the Eden room for a milestone birthday event for 17 people.
Lovely room, great food, good wine.
The staff were attentive but not in the way.
Brilliant!

The location is brilliant, rooms amazing and service was very good and helpful

Attended a wonder afternoon tea in the Eden room, worth every penny and made for a lovely 50th wedding anniversary celebration.

Had afternoon tea in the Eden room. Really good service, they accommodated my gluten and dairy free needs really well. Would definitely recommend.

Elegant, classic hotel with exceptional service, decor and comfort

Great place with amazing food and service (we were here for a group event so we used a private room and had a 2 course meal, as well as fresh pastries in the morning, fresh muffins, and fresh cookies in the afternoon - amazing service!!)

The best hotel around! The food is excellent and the staff lovely!

Apartments were very spacious and clean. Location was excellent, within walking distance of Reading station.

Very posh hotel great view over forbury park

Great hotel, beautiful rooms but no air conditioning so uncomfortably hot

Attended a works Christmas party here. The food was lovely and all of the staff were very friendly.

Great atmosphere and surroundings. Polite and happy staff!

We visited for drinks at the bar. The service is still very good but drink quality has really gone downhill. Everything is so sweet now. E.g. my friend's drink of choice the "French Blade" has been completely changed to something far more bland, sweet and unadventurous.

Good Hotel. Messed me around with Rooms. very High standard. recommend to stay here.

I really liked the Forbury Hotel. The staff were really attentive and helpful. The room was wonderful. Very grand and relaxing. The only downside of this hotel that I can see is that there isn't very much to do at the hotel itself.

Delivered to the hotel. Can't speak for how it is to stay there, but it's certainly a luxurious atmosphere and the doorman was friendly and helpful.

Very nice hotel, with good breakfast and nice room. Only issue was that it was incredibly hot in the room and had no air conditioning.

Exceptional food. Fine service. My allergies catered to. The forbury hotel was a great place to have a professional dinner outing.

Not cheap but great customer service and fantastic location. Stayed in one of the self-catered apartments which had all you needed for any length of stay

Have been for Afternoon tea a few times, and service was excellent,
But today I found the waiter was "curtly polite",not a smile or any comment, such as a simple "enjoy" did just what he had to.
We were a bit early. As we usually are, and never been a problem when we asked for the pot of tea, he said "In a minute "

Excellent food, really good quality, good flavours and we'll presented. Would definitely recommend eating at the Forbury.

Amazing hotel one of the best if not the best in reading.

We stayed in one of the best rooms in this gorgeous hotel on the eve of my sister's wedding, and it was the perfect place to get ready. What more could you want than a four poster bed, a teardrop bath, shower surrounded by twinkle lights and even a dinner table? Perfect for a treat weekend away, plus it's within walking distance of all the best restaurants in Reading.

amazing overall hotel.. great hotel bar, plus one best hotel room around
