I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. The best about this hotel is the position, very close to the Vodafone bus stop, so very convenient for business purposes. The young receptionist properly did her best but was barely capable of checking me in and was useless for obtaining any information on where to go for diner or sightseeing. The... More

My friend and I met up in Newbury this weekend and booked The Chequers because it is central and has a big car park. We booked a family suite but arrived and checked in at 12.30 to be told by the (very nice) receptionist that all of their family suites had now gone, so they would have to put us... More

over the last 2 years have attended 2 birthday parties(not ours) and our ruby wedding party, each for 60/70 guests and black tie. Have been very happy with the food, and guests from out of area have also commented favourably. Friendly and helpful staff, some of whom have been at the chequers for a number of years. Car park is... More

First the good bits. The staff were very attentive and helpful. The food (breakfast) was good with a good choice. Downstairs was reasonably smart as well. Good position too – easy access to the town centre. The bad points: The Hotel has seen better days – considerably better days. Upstairs the carpets were threadbare and often didn’t match – seems...

I have to stay in Newbury for business a lot. There is a list of hotels I can stay at, this is the one I choose if everywhere else if full. Very old, very tired. Don't go too near the windows in the rooms at the front of the hotel, the floor isn't very stable.

Despite my phone calls offering the hotel to redeem themselves by refunding the cost of one room. As I advised them, the failure to bother getting back to me at all, results in this dismal review. Following dance performances a The Corn Exchange, I checked in my company of 8. One dancer came down to the bar after a mear... More

There was cobwebs hanging in the wardrobe, the lamps had not been dusted for ages in my room and it all felt very grubby and a little in need of a make over. If I had a dusters i could have cleaned everywhere to be honest it was filthy. I left feeling a little dirty and will not go back.... More

Lovely hotel with nice bar and lounge area.It was so nice staying in such a quiet hotel in the centre of town. My partner and I slept very well in a large well kept room with large ensuite. We didn't book for breakfast as we would rather sleep in after a late night at a wedding. I was delighted that... More

We had stayed here previously 4 years ago and had rooms at the back which needed some serious renovation. We have just returned our second stay for one night. The car park was of average size, we had no problem getting a parking space, i can't imagine how easy that would be on a busy weekend. We were able to... More
