How do hotel prices in Reading change by month?

Median asking price, month by month

Across the 3 months measured in Reading, the monthly median asking price is $132 a night in every month, over 86 measured nights.

• Each month shows what places asked on the days in its Read column; a month already past was read before its nights, so months read at different times are compared as read.

A month's figure is the median of its nightly medians, and a night's the median asking price for one night. A month is listed once it has at least 15 measured nights, each with at least 30 places showing a price.

Friday and Saturday against Monday to Thursday, by month

Across the 3 months measured in Reading with at least 3 nights on each side, Friday and Saturday nights asked from -15% to -4% against Monday to Thursday.

Each side is the median of its nightly medians; Sunday nights sit in neither group. A month with fewer than 3 nights on either side is left out.

Hotels against B&Bs, guesthouses and apartments, by month

The whole market in Reading asked a median $132 a night in every month with hotels and homes both read (November 2026, December 2026 and January 2027).

Medians per night. The whole market pools every price both halves showed that night; a night counts only when both were read, and a month only with enough such nights.

Places with no price, by month

Across the 3 months measured in Reading, the median night had from 4% to 5% of checked places showing no price (sold out or closed).

Counted place by place: a checked place with no price that night is sold out or closed. A month already past shows what had no price when it was read.

Event nights, by month

Months with published events in Reading: 2 of the 3 measured (events in all: 4); the highest night against comparable nights was 28 December 2026 (Boxing Day (observed)), +2%.

Each percentage compares that night's median with measured nights of the same kind (weekday or weekend) within a week either side. It describes the night; it does not say the event moved the price.
