Chill Comfort Just Outside the City

Modern and welcoming, Holiday Inn Reading West offers a peaceful stay just outside the energy of central Reading. Set in Padworth, with leafy gardens and a terrace, this hotel is ideal for concert-goers who want to enjoy the buzz of a show but retreat somewhere relaxing afterward. With free parking, a gym, and an airy on-site restaurant, it's a smart base for music fans hitting local venues or heading into London, just an hour away.

Why Concert-goers love it

Free on-site parking makes it a breeze for those driving in for a show. After a loud night, the quiet suburban location offers a welcome escape from the noise. With a 12:00pm check-out, you can sleep in after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

Food and Drink Options

Enjoy a brasserie-style restaurant serving a wide range of meals, plus a bar with a flat-screen TV showing sports and events. While there’s no 24/7 room service, room-delivered breakfast is available upon request—ideal for those slower mornings after a big night out. Packed lunches can be arranged if you're on the move.

Nightlife Options

The hotel itself is on the quieter side, perfect for winding down. That said, you’re still within a short drive of Reading’s livelier pubs, bars, and live music spots. The on-site bar is a solid option for pre-concert drinks or a nightcap before heading to bed.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, spotless rooms, and free parking. Many highlight the peaceful location as a big plus after a noisy night out. The comfortable beds and generous check-out time get regular praise from those looking for a relaxed start the next day.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the décor feels a bit dated in parts, and being outside the city center means you’ll need a car or taxi for late-night returns. Still, the trade-off is a quieter and calmer environment.

The Bottom Line

If you want a restful, affordable stay after a concert, with easy access to Reading’s venues and a quiet place to recharge, Holiday Inn Reading West hits the right note.
