Very grubby

We booked a 2 night stay but only stopped 1 night due to the general grubbiness of both the room and the rest of the hotel The mattress was unbelievably uncomfortable and should be thrown away Breakfast was served luke warm and I could not believe it when I was told you have to pay for tea and coffee extra The whole experience was awful find somewhere else

5/5 for everything. Staff was kind and helpful. Restaurant was delicious and offered great promos for food/drink and even had trivia night. Room and facilities are well kept. Won our group over with the heated towel warmers. Absolutely adorable room. Beds were so comfortable. Price and location right in the middle of all sorts of stores, cafes, etc was unbeatable.

Highly recommended

Room is massive. We walked in thinking it was going to be a small room but it’s really big, very spacious. The bed is unbelievably comfy. Recommend the stay as it’s a one minute walk from town centre. Service is very good and people there are lovely.

8/10 Very good

Very convenient for Newbury town centre, train station etc. Comfortable and large room with massive bed. Shower could do with an overhaul and there really needs to be a bath mat to avoid accidents. Breakfast nice but a bit slow even though there were no other diners present. What irked me was being accosted on my second morning to be told in no uncertain terms that I’d left without paying for my coffee at the previous days breakfast. I thought that was quite small and left a bad taste. I had prepaid for breakfast but apparently that doesn’t include tea/coffee. Also need to improve consistency of information. The hotel sent a message after I booked saying checkin closed at 11pm - fine I thought - but I received a call at 930pm asking where I was as there were closing reception at 10. A bit stressed as I was still on the train.

8/10 Very good

Very convenient location and parking. Lovely area in central Newbury which is pedestrianised during the day. Nice hotel rooms sympathetically modernised with character. Staff very very helpful. Only negative was noise after 10 pm of customers in the outside area. They weren’t being rowdy but the sound carried enough to keep us awake.
