Pros:

The location was convenient and overall it was a good stay. The food and service was of a good quality and the breakfast finished the stay off on a high

Cons:

There was a slight wait on arrival to check in, however, the check in process was prompt and hassle free. Unfortunately, the bed was very uncomfortable, due to it being 2 single beds pushed together, which meant a gap formed, which led to a disrupted sleep which was a shame.

Very comfortable and lovely staff
Pros:

Staff were all lovely and helpful and the hoyel was perfectly situated and quiet

Cons:

My only negative was the he shower was very high up as i am quite short 😁and maybe a hand held as alternative would have been helpful when washing hair.
I fid find the life a little grubby in the metal areas they just needed a better clean as rest of hotel was pleasant

Okay but room 5 needs to be sorted and what’s the point pf paying for late checkout
Pros:

The easiness of breakfast and dinner only being downstairs , and we went to the races both days so that only being across the road is great , we did the same last year so decided to come again

Cons:

We stayed last year and thought it was great , however we stayed in room 5 and paid for late check out until 1. Every time anyone opened/closed their door or the door to downstairs our door would make a noise as it wasn’t flush . Which you can imagine was very annoying . The day of check out we paid for checkout to be extended until 1 , but the whole time all you can hear is the cleaners outside , and then at 11:03 there was a knock at the door asking why we hadn’t left , and that no one had told them we hadn’t PAID £20 more to stay until 1 . Because of this we both felt annoyed and the noise was too much that we got ready and left by 12 . I’m not sure if it was just that room which is noisy because it’s by the door to the stairs , and somethings wrong with the door that it’s not tight enough . But because of this we don’t sleep well at all and also felt like everyone could hear us because we could hear everyone else .

Wouldn't stay again, better and cheaper options in Newbury.
Pros:

Location was good as I had a meeting there the following day.

Cons:

The strong cigarette smell in the room. Bathroom was dated and not clean. The loud banging doors all night. The kitchen closed early (It was however, a Monday night).
