Location is convient for walking to many shops. The WFi sign in app is not user friendly. Hint, to specify the year of your birth you touch the present year (2025) and only then will other earlier years appear for selection.

Good location in Newbury.

In an excellent location on the Market Place in Newbury. Ideally placed for visiting the canal and the town centre. The room was in a converted block at the back of the hotel and was comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was cooked to order and very good. Staff were friendly and helpful. There is secure parking at the back of the hotel.

In general, ok, but the room is small and our window shade broke trying to close it and there was no one around to fix it, even at around 8:00pm. The location is very good.

I’ve stayed before and it’s usually good. This time there were a couple of things wrong - a blind that was broken and the shower was tepid. I mentioned it to the manager who said she’d get it fixed and will offer me a discount on my next stay.

I was very nervous because it was my first overseas trip in a long time, but the staff were very kind and treated me and my son well. I stayed here to go to Highclere Castle, and they arranged a taxi for us, which was very helpful. I would definitely like to stay here again when I visit Newbury. Thank you very much.

Good: Attractive building very conveniently positioned. Pleasant bar and dining areas, friendly staff. Poor: Bathroom. Toilet seat and cold basin tap not fixed properly, plus a leak behind the basin. Bedroom window wouldn't stay open, had to wedge something to prevent it closing. Finally, and perhaps I'm being naive, but I presumed that the room would have air conditioning. I think, on such a sweltering weekend, this was essential.

Waited 40 minutes before being checked in. I was in troubadour room. The mirror was dumped on the floor not even on the wall, bathroom sink had hair in it. Not ideal when you want to bush your teeth. Was sat having a tea and notice mould and very old spilt liquid. Very uncomfortable bed, itchy and hard. Shame as was recommended to me but from the moment I walked it it was awful. Better off on the park bench
