8/10 Very good

Nice hotel, very well priced for its location. Friendly, helpful staff and clean rooms. 4* only because the building is quite old and rooms were a little crafty. But I still enjoyed my stay and will book again.

Room was very clean. Shower above the bath worked ok but is rather outdated these days. Free parking was why I booked the hotel. Good central location in Newbury.

I enjoyed my stay here. Decent sized car park attached to the hotel, free for guests. The hotel is right in the centre of town and there's a great Nepalese restaurant a few doors along plus a good choice of High Street / Town Centre pubs. My room was beside the main road (the old A4 through the centre of Newbury) but I had no disturbance at all on having a lie-in on a Saturday morning, despite the single glazing. Would definitely stay again.

4/10 Fair

Bed was clean and comfortable, but the shower room and main room was rather grubby, dirty corners in the bath/shower. Main room could do with marks on walls being cleaned or painted. Staff were lovely, helpful and always accommodating. Breakfast was disappointing for the price, no fresh fruit and hot food, seemed to have been there for rather a long time. We lived in Newbury from the 70's to 2015. The Chequers was always the top 5* Hotel in Newbury, Shame to see it's decline! Car parking was good and very close,

Plenty of Parking. Wonderful old character building. Wonderful staff extremely helpful and dedicated. Our room was very clean. Wooden framed sash windows could benefit from a freshen up with some paint but other than that a perfect stay & amazing value for money. Breakfast in the morning was very well presented & really flavoursome. Good choice of both Continental & full English. We also found Newbury to be a delightful historic town with plenty to offer. Would definitely stay with the Chequers hotel again!

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at the Chequers. The hotel is clean, well kept and convenient for all local amenities. The staff were very professional and polite and happy to help at every turn. Highlight for me, apart from the location, was the plentiful parking available and the breakfast was delightful and incredibly good value for money. A thoroughly enjoyable stay and highly recommended.

Fair amount ot parking spaces but if you are going to Newmarket Racing then i would get there early, we arrived at around 12pm and managed to grab the last empty parking space thankfully. Staff were lovely, allowed us early check in and were very helpful with Taxis and restaurant recommendations (we ate in Burkha round the corner and the food was beautiful! I had one of the Executive rooms which was nice and spacious. Will definitely stay again next time i go to the races.
