The Spotlight on pentahotel Reading

Chic, Central and Concert-Ready in Reading

Modern, quirky, and full of personality, pentahotel Reading is a stylish 4-star spot located right in the heart of Reading. With its bold design, games room, and trendy pentalounge, this hotel is as fun as it is functional. Whether you're in town for a headline act or a weekend music festival, you'll be just a 10-minute walk from Reading Station and steps from Broad Street Mall's shops and eateries.

Why Concert-goers love it

You'll appreciate how close you are to Reading's main venues — no need to stress about taxis or long walks after the encore. The late 12:00 check-out means you can sleep in after a late night, and with free WiFi, you’ll be able to upload your concert pics before breakfast. The hotel’s soundproofed rooms and blackout curtains offer a calm, quiet space to recover from the crowd.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a fun, social hotel with a games room and lounge vibes
- Solo travelers heading to see a once-in-a-lifetime show
- Couples making a weekend of it in Reading
- Fans who want a peaceful, stylish spot to unwind after the gig
- Budget-conscious music fans who want comfort without the luxury price tag

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves European cuisine all day, so you can grab dinner before the show or a hangover-curing brunch afterwards. The pentalounge is perfect for cocktails and light bites, and there's also room service if you'd rather snack in bed. While there's no 24/7 dining, late-night options are within walking distance.

Nightlife Options

Start your night with a craft cocktail in the pentalounge or challenge your friends to a game of pool or PlayStation in the games room. The hotel’s central location means bars, pubs, and lounges are just a short stroll away, so you can keep the party going after the encore.

What People Say

Guests love the modern design and friendly atmosphere, often describing the hotel as “cool” and “fun.” The location earns high marks for being close to the train station and town centre. The rain showers and comfy beds also get regular praise — perfect after a high-energy night.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel’s fun, social vibe means it can get a little lively in the evenings, especially around the lounge. If you’re a very light sleeper, you might want to request a quieter room away from common areas.

The Bottom Line

With its playful design, unbeatable location and concert-friendly features, pentahotel Reading is a top pick for music lovers looking to stay in style.
