The Spotlight on The Roseate Reading

Luxury Meets Location in the Heart of Reading

Modern elegance meets historic charm at The Roseate Reading, a 5-star hotel nestled beside Forbury Gardens. Just a 5-minute walk from Reading Rail Station, this upscale escape is perfectly placed for concert-goers looking to blend style with convenience. Expect plush rooms with smart TVs, coffee machines, and luxury toiletries—all wrapped in a serene, boutique vibe.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is the real headliner here—just steps from the station, you’re within easy reach of Reading’s top music venues. After the show, retreat to the peaceful gardenside setting for a quiet wind-down. While check-in is from 15:00 and check-out at 11:00, the front desk is known for being helpful with luggage and early arrivals. It’s a great base whether you're heading out late or coming back even later.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends wanting to stay in comfort and style
  • Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list artist and craving a safe, luxe retreat
  • Couples making a romantic weekend of a gig
  • Fans who want a peaceful post-show recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music lovers stretching for a touch of luxury

Food and Drink Options

The on-site fine dining restaurant is perfect for a pre-show dinner or post-concert splurge. There’s also a cocktail bar serving late, and room service for when you just want to crash with some comfort food. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the team is accommodating, and breakfast is available for those slow, sleepy mornings after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about refined relaxation than rowdy revelry, you're just a short walk from Reading’s nightlife—think buzzing pubs, cocktail lounges, and live music spots. The in-house cocktail bar is ideal for a quieter nightcap with a touch of glamour.

What People Say

Guests rave about the impeccable service, beautiful interiors, and peaceful atmosphere. Many mention how close it is to the train station and central Reading, making it easy to get to gigs and back. The luxury touches—from the beds to the toiletries—often get five stars.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the parking is limited or a bit pricey, so it’s worth arriving by train if you can. Also, while the vibe is tranquil and elegant, those looking for a party atmosphere might find it a bit too calm.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want luxury, location, and a quiet place to recharge, The Roseate Reading hits all the right notes.

Superb

Liked: Fantastic location. The lady on reception when I checked in on Friday evening was an absolute delight. Professional, friendly, helpful, and polite. She assisted me across to the room, which was across the car park from the main building, and explained everything about the stay and facilities. The room was fantastic. Nice and large. Sizeable bathroom with nice shower. Very efficient aircon, which was a joy in the hot weather. A small balcony with a lovely sunset view. Exceptional price for level of service and location compared to others in Reading at the same time. A great stay.
Disliked: Unfortunately, a lot of the TV channels just wouldn't work. A bit of a shame if you wanted to watch telly that night.

Overpriced. Full of features you...

Liked: Nice location
Disliked: The front desk is unable to provide an invoice for my stay which means I cannot have my business travel reimbursed. They claim helplessness because I used the Booking.com app to reserve the room. As if they did not profit and Booking.com got all the money.
