The 4-star smoke-free Hilton Reading Hotel is situated nearly a 15-minute stroll from Waterloo Meadows, inviting guests to 210 air-conditioned rooms, an indoor swimming pool, and a fitness room. Located within a 3-km distance of the theme park "Forbury Gardens", this Reading hotel provides a ballroom.

Location

Courage Public Park is approximately a 10-minute ride away, and culture-oriented attractions such as The Museum of Reading lie approximately a 15-minute ride from the hotel. The Hilton Reading is also 3.7 km from such natural sights as the Maiden Erlegh Local Nature Reserve.

Guests can explore interesting places, as the accommodation is encircled by a green park, a stadium, and a bar. Entertainment in the area includes Grosvenor Casino Reading South a short way from this Reading hotel.

Hilton Reading Hotel lies 3.6 km from Reading train station.

Rooms

The allergy-friendly rooms feature such modern amenities as a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, along with tea and coffee making facilities.

Eat & Drink

Food options for high tea are available at the à la carte Oxbo Kitchen Terrace restaurant. The restaurant serves vegetarian cuisine for lunch and dinner. At the onsite cocktail bar guests will find a host of signature cocktails on the menu. You can visit a restaurant situated close by and taste international cuisine.

Leisure & Business

The Hilton houses a steam room and a sauna. Also, at the property, guests can take advantage of a golf club provided onsite.

“This property strikes me as particularly well-suited to families, not least because of its dedicated children's breakfast. The indoor pool and 24-hour gym are significant assets, and though some found the pillows too soft, the location near Reading train station and The Oracle shopping centre is undeniably convenient. On-site dining receives mixed comments; however, OXBO Kitchen's locally sourced menu sounds promising.”

I needed an early breakfast because of a charity walk, I had to leave before the normal hours, the hotel provided a good bag to my room beforehand. The team at the Oxbo bar was great, especially Emilia, she created delicious cocktails and offered excellent food recommendations.

Wonderful birthday week!

excellent servicebirthday surprisehelpful staffcold plates
I wanted a girly get together with friends and family to round off my birthday week. The service was excellent and the hotel provided a birthday surprise in my suite. I wanted to say thank you to Jan, Janna, and Morgan for being helpful with my enquiries. I was very happy with everything.
I think plates could be warm at breakfast time. I was served by Kelly, and she was helpful and pleasant. Our room was nice and clean, and we had a comfortable bed. We was pleased that some of the menu in the restaurant had changed.

the room had air conditioning, a welcome feature on a warm day. the bed was really comfortable and provided excellent pillows for a good night's sleep.
I was surprised to find a daily car parking charge. it felt a bit unnecessary given the location. the staff seemed largely eastern european. Some seemed a bit impolite to me.
