Beech House Hotel, hotel in Reading

Only 15 minutes’ walk from Reading’s town centre, this charming Victorian house offers individually styled rooms with free Wi-Fi. It also has free parking, and is a 5-minute drive from the M4...

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 !

FAQs about hotels in Reading









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.

    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.

    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.

    Staff very friendly upon arrival. Room is decent size no space for a desk or bedside lamps however. Coat Racks, Large TV, Free Wi-Fi, large bathroom were all highlights. Had a large double bed which is extremely comfy. For the price this far exceeded my expectations. I used this place for somewhere to rest my head overnight due to train cancellations from Reading to Cardiff. It's within walking distance (10 mins) of Reading Station, town centre which boasts high street shops, pubs and eating establishments.

    Despite the confirmation I have, and even my card information being available the hotel canceled my booking. Further, When I ask they reply that they are overbooked and who was coming first they give him the room . My advice to the traveler's please do not trust what so-called pay at the property!!! It's an unethical business process. THEY SPOILED ALL MY WORK PLANS FOR THE NEXT DAY. I choose the location in propose this people do not understand people travel to do their work!!!!
