We only booked this hotel as a cheap stay over on a late journey from Dover to Yorkshire.
We really didn’t expect much based on what we paid for the room including a breakfast but was pleasantly surprised how really nice it was.
The lady on reception on arrival was so friendly & chatty.
Room was really nice & comfortable.
Breakfast was in our opinion exceptional, self service buffet but everything was very nice.
Would definitely stay there again
Nothing not to like.
Just a word of warning (nothing to do with the hotel), don’t forget to register your vehicle registration for the car park on arrival.
There’s plenty of notices everywhere to remind you about this, we just didn’t see them.
We registered the next morning, took less that a minute to do & we haven’t had a fine letter up to now so fingers crossed

Location to our social event at Newbury racecourse, free parking
Rooms out dated , lots of noice from bar downstairs at night. Very basic room .
Breakfast ran out and had to wait long time , staff shortage on fully booked hotel
5.0
Central location, with free parking (although tight one). Breakfast is decent.
The cleanliness level is really low, many items in the room look outright filthy. There is pigeon guano all over the place, just outside the windows, that seemingly none bothered to clean for years, creating a dangerous health hazard. The arrangement in the room was uncomfortable, which negates spaciousness, and also includes internal stairs.

It was in a good location with plenty of parking.
The breakfast was really good.
The rooms were tired, needing a lick of paint. Could do with a thorough clean. Asked to change rooms as our allocated room smelled, there was dust everywhere and the kettle was full of limescale. Second room didn’t smell but needed a good clean, the dust/ dirt on the skirting was awful.

Accueil très chaleureux à notre arrivée. Manifestement pas mal d'habitués de l'établissement. Grand parking à disposition. chambres pas très grandes mais correspond parfaitement à la description. Attention qu'il y a des escaliers pour atteindre les chambres.
petit-déjeuner plus poussé sur le salé que le sucré.
Chambre très calme, hôtel avec pas mal de charme. Nous avons tout à fait aimé. A un jet de pierre de Highclere Castle.

The inclusive breakfast was only adequate.

Central location and nice place
There were some very loud people in the corridors making a lot of noise in the night which kept us awake for sometime. I’m sure there must have some complaints from that night.

Good location, nice atmosphere, friendly staff.
Used to be a lovely old world hotel with character, recent modernisation has almost destroyed the old world character we loved so much.

Huge rooms! Very grateful that there was a fan in the room
Difficult to shower as the temperature kept changing rapidly. Also an elevator would be a great improvement.
9.0
The breakfast was very good. Staff service was efficient and friendly. And getting around the neighbourhood was quite easy. We walked up the high street and explored the town centre and had some meals nearby.
There was no lift in the hotel. But fortunately we had help from the staff. Travellers like us from overseas are likely to have more heavy luggage and a lift would have helped a lot.
6.0
Good breakfast.
Very nice lobby and common room to end the day. Quite during the night.
Old furniture and old carpets give the room a smell, old windows hard to open. Renovation needed in many ways.
Pictures show the hotel from the best perspective which is rarely seen by the guests if not looking for it.
Attention: there are even motel rooms accessible from the car park only.
9.0
The family room was very large and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was excellent.
Unfortunately there were 2 sets of stairs to our room. The fruit salad was from a tin at breakfast.

Great breakfast, good location at the top of the high street, lots of free parking, great value, friendly staff
Shower went really hot and cold but we managed and the windows could be changed for new but I imagine there is planning restrictions
4.0
The staff went above and beyond and were fantastic, 100% kudos to them. The location is loverly as we as check in and parking. Super pleasant downstairs experience.
I feel guilty writing anything negative as the staff were so lovely, but the room was definitely a little funky as was the crib and the shower experience. I will leave that there
4.0
The staff we encountered seemed nice.
The room we stayed in was not good at all, damp on all the windows, dust on the tops, runner on the bottom of the bed had stains on it, curtains were stained and as for the shower, no Matter what temp it was set to, it went from extreme heat to extreme cold. I am afraid I will never stay here again unless the rooms have a major revamp, it is the only time I have ever cut a trip short and left early as I could not bare staying another night, was meant to be 3 nights, arrived Friday, left very early Sunday. I hate leaving a negative review, especially when the staff seemed nice, however the upstairs of the hotel and the room we stayed in needs work. I would like to note that I did not bring these points up with the staff, therefore did not give them a chance to correct anything, if they could.

Modern en-suite
Room cold, no bath mat to step out of shower onto, no spoons to deal with teabag.
Fire alarm (I assume-something in my ceiling) went off in the night waking me up completely.
Dining room very muddled, elements of breakfast in lots of different areas. Spare furniture spread around so felt shoddy.
