Good value.
Good value for the price. Exceptionally clean.Large spacious room, very comfotable bed.
I requested a ground floor room; I was told it would open onto the car park which is in a secure off-street courtyard, but that was actually very convenient for me. Good breakfast. Centrally located in Newbury.

The room was extremely hot and unfortunately with the room window being street side, I was woken up at 4am by delivery trucks.. had very little sleep due to the noisy world outside.
Recommend having a room nowhere near the street

Very nice hotel in great location.
Very nice overnight stay. Good location for walking into town. The room was VERY hot, I opened the window but somehow that did not seem to add to the ventilation so didn't sleep too well. But would I recommend it - yes, would I go back there - yes.

Pretty good overall for the price. It’s an old hotel and some of the plumbing is in need of updating but otherwise it’s ok. Would stay again if I can get a deal through a discount app.

Pleasant Stay
Pleasant stay at this hotel in June 24.
Room was on 2nd floor and had no view.
Room was warm and had a fan for additional ventilation.
Starting to look a little tired in places but overall had no issues and a good nights sleep.
