1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2013

The bed linen was clean, unfortunately this is the only positive comment I can make about the entire establishment. The room and bathroom were filthy....I had to throw out my socks after walking on the carpet. Paper thin walls, could clearly hear the conversation next door. Breakfast facilities terrible, saw the waitress wiping used side plates with a serviette and... More

This hotel is dirty. My room hadn't been vacuumed prior to my arrival (or ever?), the stairs were caked in dust, the walls were dirty, there were hairs in my sink, i was itching through the night (and still am...). I stood waiting to be checked out for 5-7 minutes as the young lady was outside having a cigarette and... More

Great bed and breakfast. Large room with comfy bed and modern duvet and linen. Very clean. Ideal place for weekend stay. Bar was great and staff were great especially the manager who was really friendly and accommodating. Great full English breakfast and also cereals and yogurts also on offer. Great value for money.

Booked via Laterooms, pictures showed a quaint old fashioned Inn with a nice warm welcoming bar area. Shown to my room which I have to say looked very tired, far too big for so little furniture (room 5) with the strangest bathroom tucked into the corner. Went down for a bar meal which was substantial and very tasty. Great service... More

Friendly pub with accommodation. The Bacon Arms is an old coaching inn, very handy for the town centre. Feels a little run down, particularly the upstairs rooms, but the staff go out of their way to be helpful. Interesting menu.

The Bacon Arms let us check in just after 10.00am in the morning as we were planning a late night back from the Children in Need Carfest. To accomodate us they also changed our room to an external room so we could come and go as we pleased regardless of the time. The room was probably converted out from the... More

Needed a cheap and cheerful bolthole in Newbury on a Saturday night, and this fitted the bill fine. For the price (about £60 including breakfast for a double room), I have no major complaints. The room wasn't quite spotlessly clean and the en-suite was little more than a cupboard, but overall it was a good size if a bit dated.... More

Just spent an unexpected evening @ The Bacon Arms, Newbury. Was a very late arrival - Jenny missed her bus home to make sure I got my room sorted, what a star (we made sure she got a Taxi!) And Manager Neil was an absolute perfect host - thank you both of you

There are two other hotels I have stayed at, very close by. This hotel provided equivalent quality in terms of room value. However, they also beat the price by a good 20 quid a night. They also provided a full (complimentary!) English breakfast, with eggs cooked to order. And although it would seem that it should be a given, their... More
