We booked our Christmas Day 2011 lunch at the Forbury Hotel. The marketing communications painted it as a wonderfully family-focused event with 'board games infront of the fire' and 'an opportunity to view Raiders of the Lost Ark' in a private screen room or relax with a drink in the lounge. The reality was a very polite service but completely... More

When we arrived my husband had booked a beautiful suite , the room was stunning however the feature fireplace did not work and we had an oil heater in the middle of the room which spoilt the character and setting. The room was outstanding and the decor and furnishing were beautiful. At 11pm we had to call down to reception... More

My husband booked The Forbury as a last minute wedding anniversary surprise and I can honestly say it's the best hotel I've ever stayed in! Because it was a last minute booking we were made aware from the start that we would not be able to dine in the restaurant due to Christmas party bookings but we were able to... More

Fantastic hotel full of character, we had the junior suite and it was fantastic, super king bed with egyptian cotton bed linen etc. Staff warm and welcoming, breakfast in bed was excellent and we weren't charged extra for it. More

We booked a superior room, which had a four-poster bed and massive bathroom. it was all just so comfortable but modern at the... More

I booked this hotel through laterooms and got a very good deal. The hotel is lovely, good location (though not if you're driving) and the rooms were spacious and modern. The staff were great on the whole, and the bar/restaurant area were nice. We didn't get to try breakfast as we were both up early that morning. It's fairly hard... More

My boyfriend booked this hotel as a surprise for my 30th birthday, well what I thought would be for my 30th but the real reason was to 'pop that all important question' and what a hotel to do so ! (Obviously I said Yes!) It was a bit of a challenge to find the hotel due to a road being... More

A nice hotel, friendly staff and good location, although very expensive. Arriving by car was quite a task, arriving in Reading at 2.30 and finally getting to the hotel at 3.05 due to one way streets, traffic and bus only routes. On arrival greeted by the doorman, who was very polite. The car keys were taken and the car parked... More
