    This place suits me perfectly with great wi-fi, free parking, and a lovely bar area. The staff helped me with my luggage on my first stay, which I truly appreciated. I can't wait to come back for Christmas!

    cozy stay
    beautiful garden
    noisy environment
    limited breakfast

    The Dolphin Hotel in Newbury has its charm. The staff greeted me with warm smiles upon arrival. My room had a fantastic bath with instant hot water, perfect after a day out. It was clean and cozy, providing a comfortable stay. The self-serve breakfast offered a decent variety, but I expected more fresh fruit. The noise level from the pub downstairs was a bit distracting at night. no staff presence in the mornings made me feel a bit lost with breakfast arrangements. Parking was convenient and the location was prime, close to the town. I appreciated the beautiful outdoor garden space, especially the beach huts that added unique flair. a pleasant stay with a few hiccups.

    would happily go back again

    The room was super clean and had a walk-in shower. It featured a flat-screen TV, complimentary toiletries, and an ironing facility. The bed felt great. The restaurant served a really tasty steak for dinner. Plus, the outdoor seating area with beach huts was a unique dining experience. Breakfast had a nice variety of options.

    park proximity
    delicious food

    great connections to parks and shopping areas nearby

    The hotel is just a short walk from Victoria Park, where I enjoyed a lovely afternoon stroll among the trees and beautiful landscapes, and with the Parkway Shopping Centre just a few steps away, it was super easy to grab a quick bite between my explorations. I also appreciated the friendly atmosphere and the quality of the food, especially the perfectly cooked steak I had during my stay as a solo traveler for one night in a Standard Double Room.

    friendly staff

    Great place for a family reunion

    The decor was refreshingly quirky, a real treat for the eyes, and the staff were charming, serving up an exciting selection of beers which made our evenings lively. One night we tried the fish and chips – the fish was incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection, just like a well-made batch of blue meth.

    tasty breakfast
    descaled kettle

    Had a lovely time relaxing by the sun terrace and enjoying the garden area. The breakfast was tasty but I found the kettle needed some descaling. I’d recommend this place for a cozy getaway! ☕

    Great location and breakfast!

    We had a nice stay for a night. The self-service continental breakfast was spot on, tons of options! Loved how close it was to town and the river too. The place has an old-school charm but upgraded nicely. Just wish the food had been better. heard some complaints about it. Still, had a fun atmosphere.

    limited breakfast
    surprise charges

    The staff was exceptionally welcoming and attentive, making the overall experience very pleasant. The room was impeccably clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night. The location was perfect for exploring Newbury and easy access to the races was a significant advantage.

    The breakfast was only continental, which was unexpected.

    Great vibe and comfy beds!

    We had a lovely stay for 2 nights. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the rooms were really quiet, which helped us sleep well. Plus, the self-serve continental breakfast was spot on—exactly what we wanted. Just a heads up, the view from our room wasn't great, but it didn't ruin our experience at all!
