The Spotlight on Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading

Classic Comfort Just a Stroll from Reading’s Music Scene

Modern convenience meets Victorian charm at Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading. Located just a mile from Reading city centre, this laid-back hotel is spread across six historic buildings and offers a relaxed, budget-friendly base for your concert adventures. With free Wi-Fi, free parking, and an on-site gym, it’s a practical pick for music lovers who want both comfort and value.

Rooms come with handy extras like a fridge, microwave, and in some cases, a kitchenette—perfect for late-night snacks or prepping your own meals. Whether you’re heading to a gig or recovering from one, you’ll appreciate the quiet, residential setting that’s still close to the action.

Why Concert-goers love it

Set just over a mile from Reading Railway Station and a short walk to local venues, this hotel strikes a sweet balance between access and tranquillity. It’s an easy drive from the M4, and with free parking, you can leave the car and explore on foot or by public transport. The hotel’s flexible feel—thanks to amenities like microwaves in rooms and a guest lounge—makes it easy to grab a bite or wind down post-show. With a check-in from 14:00 and check-out at 11:00, there’s enough flexibility to suit most event schedules.

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t have a full-service restaurant, there’s a bar serving snacks and light meals, and guests are welcome to bring in their own food to enjoy in the lounge. Each room has a fridge and microwave, and some even come with a kitchenette—ideal for late-night bites. A hearty continental and full English breakfast is served daily, perfect for recovering after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more on the chill side, its location puts you within walking or short-drive distance of Reading’s popular bars and music venues. Whether you're looking for live music, a cocktail lounge, or a laid-back pub, you'll find plenty of options nearby to keep the vibe going after the show.

What People Say

Overall good, but a few...

Liked: The English breakfast was nice, the bed was comfortable, and the location was great for my purposes.Free parking.
Disliked: Unfortunately, I was not allowed to charge my vehicle, even though the manufacturer has made it safe and specifically designed for home or regular outlet charging. The staff refused this request.Moreover, there is no infrastructure in place to allow safe and convenient charging for guests traveling with electric or hybrid vehicles. The hotel does not even provide a basic outdoor socket in the parking area, as many other hotels already do. This lack of support makes it difficult for EV drivers to enjoy a worry-free stay.Additionally, the hair dryer in the room did not function properly, and the coffee and cream provided were spoiled. There was also no air conditioning in the room, which made the stay extremely uncomfortable during hot weather.I hope you will take these concerns into consideration and make improvements to ensure a better experience for future guests.
