Where is Oxford Road Apartment located?

How much does Oxford Road Apartment cost per night?
Prices are set live by the hotel — check the booking page for a real rate for your dates.
How many stars is Oxford Road Apartment?
Oxford Road Apartment is a 3-star hotel in Reading.
When is the cheapest month to visit Reading?
January is the cheapest, with town centre 4-star rooms often at £70-90 and no major events to drive demand. February is similar but half-term week (usually mid-February) pushes family-friendly hotels up. Avoid the first weekend if Six Nations rugby is on, as Twickenham overflow reaches Reading. November before the Forbury Gardens Christmas market opens is the other quiet window.
How many nights do I need in Reading?
Two nights covers Reading itself — the Abbey Quarter, the Oracle, the museum’s Bayeux Tapestry replica and a Thames Path walk from Caversham Bridge to Sonning. Four or five nights makes sense if you want to use Reading as a Thames Valley base for Windsor, Oxford, Henley and Marlow, all reachable by train in under 40 minutes. One night is enough only if you are here for a single event at Rivermead or the festival grounds.
How do I get from Heathrow to Reading?
The RailAir coach runs direct from Heathrow Central Bus Station to Reading station every 20 minutes, takes about 60 minutes, and costs around £20-25. A taxi is 40-55 minutes depending on the M4, and priced at £70-90. From late 2024 the Elizabeth line connects Heathrow to Reading with a change at Hayes and Harlington, taking around 90 minutes for roughly £13. The RailAir is still the fastest public option.
Do I need a car in Reading?
No, if you are staying in the town centre and mostly visiting Reading, London, Oxford, Windsor and Henley — all of those are on direct or one-change train routes from Reading station. Yes, if you plan to spend time in Pangbourne, Sonning, Marlow, Ascot or the Chiltern villages, where buses run hourly at best. Parking in the centre costs £15-25 per night at hotels and £3-5 per hour at the Oracle, so a car is a cost if you don’t need it.
Is Reading good for families or better for couples?
Reading works for both, but suits couples slightly better in the centre and families better in Caversham or on the Thames. Caversham Court Gardens, Thames Lido and Beale Wildlife Park in Pangbourne are the family draws; couples tend to prefer the Forbury area, Sonning’s riverside pubs and day trips to Henley. Family rooms are easiest to find at the Novotel, Holiday Inn South and Crowne Plaza. The Reading Festival weekend in late August is not a family event and should be avoided if travelling with children.

About Reading Town Centre
Reading Town Centre packs the station, the Oracle mall, Friar Street bars and the Abbey Ruins within a 15-minute walk. The station sits at the north edge, Friar Street runs east-west with chain bars and the Purple Turtle, and the Oracle hugs the Kennet to the south. Business travellers dominate the centre midweek. Friar Street and Castle Street hold the main drinking clusters; head to Milk on Merchants Place rather than the stag-do circuit around Yates. Reading Minster, behind the Town Hall on Chain Street, is easy to miss. Union Street, linking Broad Street to Cross Street, is nicknamed Smelly Alley, with a couple of independent stalls beside chain coffee shops. St Mary's Butts hosts a small Wednesday market. A 3km Kennet Loop takes about 45 minutes.
