The Elephant at the Market

great rooms comfy beds, poor lighting for women's makeup, staff need 'welcome training' - rooms could do with a glass to house your toothbrush. all round a great central venue for Newbury evening nightlife. our second visit and would consider returning again.

Nice place, good staff, ridiculous prices, one large one small wine £19! As a local you have lost my custom, I can buy two bottles for that and have some change. I am sure you get a great mark up, make less and people will visit more often = greater profit, simple!

I had the best experience at the Elephant at the Market every one was so nice to me beer was good staff was brilliant with me and made me feel at ease and very calm I suffer from major mental health problems which I kept to myself but I couldn't rate this hotel and pub higher thank you so much Matt

Stayed in the deluxe room, very spacious, clean and cosy! Nice little view over the Main Street (Babar room) - great location and free parking was a nice addition. The lamp table lamp needs a new bulb or changing though, it kept flickering! Otherwise, the stay was faultless

Delighted all round tbh Great value Good brilliant comms when needed Staff friendly Happy stay!

Great value room in the centre of Newbury, staff are very friendly and helpful. We had only had breakfast but that was nicely prepared and very tasty. Although we live locally we were meeting friends for new years eve, and this is a much better option than taxis or trains. Will be returning to see what the food is like in the restaurant in the evening.

Nice little place to stay. The room we stayed in was just outside of the building that is shown but by no means was this an inconvenience. It was on the ground floor so no carrying bags up and down the stairs required. The staff were friendly, the property nice, the room was small but cozy and comfortable and the food was good. Parking was free and onsite which is always a bonus. My only complaint was that very early in the morning, someone emptied what sounded like a huge trash bin full of glass bottles which startled us both. I would stay at this property again if in the area.

Arriving at the car park is a bit awkward as there is a barrier and you have to get out of your car to press the button . We knew where it was due to looking for it on Google Maps earlier but if you did not know this you would find it difficult to locate . When parked, we walked to reception but we had to wait as nobody to be seen and then once booked in, we were shown to our room, which was one of those outside. The room was a bit dissapointing as was very small and felt cold and dark. It felt like you would not have a comfortable stay. The room was not like those in the pictures on the site. Very similar but not as nice. The room was quite clean , clean bedding , towels, bathroom etc although there were cobwebs in the bathroom and bedroom . We even had a mosquito in the room as I was bitten and saw it flying around on both days. I never slept well at all on both the nights we stayed. It was either bins being emptied about 4am or neighbours , who were talking on the phone i believe but you could hear every word. The coffee machine was not working very well and you had to press the button several times to get a full cup . No other means for coffee and only black tea so if you didn't want either you were stuffed! Four suger lumps on day one then only two for day two! We were very glad to be leaving after two nights and so glad it was not three nights as I usually book when down this way. Again on checking out we had to search for someone as a deserted reception .

We had a very pleasant one-night stay at this quaint inn. The staff was courteous. The room was clean and comfortable.
