The Roseate Reading

The Asian looking Receptionist was very lovely person and very professional. Felt very welcoming. But the public are, lobby , downstairs toilet really need a good scrubbing . Very dirty. Room is tired as expected but clean. Only problem was when the weather is hot, it’s like a steaming here. They only provide a loud noisy industrial fan which you can’t use while sleep. Need some new quiet fan! Bed is hard. Lots amenities including nice slippers. Big bathroom shower very powerful. Location is excellent next to the park and everything.

My partner and I had the time to reconnect couples massage today as well as 30 mins in the sauna and steam room. It was the best massage I've ever had, and my partner loved his too. The full body scrub was fantastic and I always feel rejuvenated after having theirs. The Massage was firm with lots of stretches and clear massage and A&P knowledge, as a massage therapist myself I was seriously impressed and will go back for my third visit for sure!! Would have been lovely if the reception was always manned and sauna/steam experience could start on time. Highly recommend otherwise.

The hotel is well located and has beautiful rooms — we even received an upgrade. During the hot weather, they provided an extra Dyson air conditioner. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was delicious. In the morning, we were too late for breakfast, but they still offered to make us an omelette. We enjoyed our stay and will return.

The Hotel and restaurant and bar were fantastic. We had a last minute flight cancellation. Victoria was a saving angel. She fixed us another night in the hotel, and arranged for a car to the airport. Not many places will go so far to take care of you. I would go back anytime. I'd stay at the hotel just for the quality of the amenities. The extra care from the staff was priceless.

I visited the Aheli Spa and the service was exceptional. I was warmly received by Chimi who helped me select the right treatments. My therapist was Csenge and she was excellent. It’s a small intimate spa but with just the right facilities and personalised service. I left with a voucher for a friend because I can’t recommend it enough.

Beautiful historic hotel in a lovely part of Reading. Had a room upgrade to a lovely big suite with large bathroom, roll top bath and walk in shower. It wasn't in the main hotel but was near the car park and unfortunately the air-conditioning/heating kept me awake most of the night as it kept clicking and switching. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating and the conference room was beautiful. Evening food was excellent. I'd highly recommend the fish dishes which were divine and we really enjoyed our evening meal. And we had a pleasant buffet lunch and refreshments during our business mastermind day. The coffee was excellent and oat milk and non dairy options were provided. Would definitely stay if down on business again.

Just got back from an incredible weekend at The Roseate, Reading. The first thing to mention is the amazing staff! Every single person we encountered at every stage from reception (especially Vanara and Emilia) to the restaurant and the spa were just amazing. Nothing felt like too much trouble and we genuinely felt so welcome. This for us is always the biggest part of any hotel stay because it sets the tone of the whole experience and really contributes to being able to fully relax. We stayed in an Executive Suite on the 3rd floor. The room was massive, really comfy bed, great shower and lovely solid furniture. We had the chef's experience tasting menu in the restaurant on the Friday night and we were absolutely blown away by the quality and flavours. This was hands down the best tasting menu we have ever had and to get explanations of the dishes from the wonderful head chef Pridep was the icing on the cake! He was quick to point out how much the entire team are dedicated to perfection, when we said how impressed we were with it. They are all obviously incredibly talented and passionate about food. It was so creative with plenty of interesting flavour combinations and approaches, but nothing weird just for the sake of it (which I find often happens in tasting menus!). The service for the tasting menu was also amazing, we were just made to feel so welcome and we had a lovely private area all to ourselves. Again, nothing was too much trouble. As part of our tasting menu we also got sole use of the cinema after our dinner. We were given a list of films to choose from and once we had picked what we wanted we were shown to the cinema which we had all to ourselves! This was such a lovely extra treat that just made us feel very special! Breakfast was served in the restaurant, again very attentive service. The range of food was good, but not overwhelming, and all good quality. I had a Traditional Bali treatment at the spa on the Saturday (with Rekha) and I just don't think there are any words to describe how incredible I felt afterwards! I have lots of knots and tension in my shoulders and Rekha certainly put some of my knots through their paces at times but it was also so relaxing and I came out feeling like a new woman! She was so reassuring and gentle in the way she spoke to me, I just felt like I was in very safe hands. Today my shoulder is much much looser than usual and I have such a great feeling of wellbeing. The spa is just lovely and the spa manager Chimi who welcomed me before and after my treatment was an absolute pleasure to speak to. Again, it just felt like nothing was too much trouble and I was made to feel so welcome. The hotel is such a beautiful old building, and we really appreciated the decor. It felt timeless and good quality, but overall we felt so at home at the Roseate, which is such a difficult note to hit for a 5 star hotel. We would happily go back any time and can't recommend it more highly!

I celebrated my 30th birthday at The Roseate, having a ‘thir-TEA’ afternoon tea party at the reading room. It was a smooth party booking service and the team on the day were attentive. We all enjoyed our experience and were well looked after! I was also able to bring my own decor and set up the secret garden ahead of time which was much appreciated.
