I booked to stay in Newbury to visit relatives and normally stay at the Hilton's (either north or south of the town). They were both full, so I booked the Chequers as it was the first alternative that came to mind. It is located right in the town centre and has a good size free car park, which you access... more

For many consecutive weeks banished to Vodabury I had occasion to stay at most of the hotels in the area and quickly settled on Chequers as my first choice. I am not impressed with cookie cutter hotels and this one is not that. The health and safety inspired fire doors and such detract slightly from the delightful up three stairs,... more

Stayed at The Chequers Hotel at short notice and got a room only deal at £45. Lots of work going on outside, but no noise from that at the weekend. Reception OK, but stairs and corridors need some work, looking tired and dirty. Room OK, bed faily comfortable, but cold tap didn't work in on the bath which meany adding... more

I have just returned from a three day stay at the Chequers Hotel in Newbury, Berkshire. The entire experience was fantastic - this hotel's greatest asset is its staff. The location of this hotel is very central to Newbury town and there is ample patron parking. I was at the Chequers on business and found their conference/ seminar venues and... more

Do Not Stay Here!! The first room I was given smelt of damp and the bathroom was filthy, so I complained and I was upgraded to a double room. The paint was peeling off the ceiling in the bathroom the flusher on the toilet kept dropping off and there was a dirty brown stain round the bowl of the toilet.... more

I had the misfortune of spending a night in this awful hotel earlier this month. From the outside it looked like OK, a little run down but not terrible. This changed when I made my way to the room. The internal corridors of the hotel smelled musty and the window frames were rotten. My room was overlooking the car park... more

A tough one to rate: our second stay at this hotel and we'd go back again too, despite the downsides. We love the location and the staff try really hard to please, in some ways better than staff in much more expensive hotels; certainly more attentive. Our room (we had one overlooking the garden first time we stayed) looked out... more

Chequers did look a little shabby from the outside but was in an ideal location with lots of free parking. We arrived early but were able to check into our room straight away. Staff some of the friendliest we have come across Stayed a night while visiting Newbury races, we actually walked to the course which was around 20 mins... more

6 of us came for the weekend to Newbury to go to the races on the Saturday. From the outside Chequers looked very run down with rotting window sills, but when we went to reception we received a lovely welcome from the receptionist. Our bedrooms were lovely, we couldn't fault anything in any of our 3 rooms they were very... more
