    Nothing comes to mind except the lift worried me a bit due to the noisy workings.

    Really appreciated very efficient and friendly reception desk staff.

    The mini fridge contained milk that was two days past its expiry date, though this was quickly replaced with an apology. The pool was quite cold, the hot tub button for bubbles was broken and the temperature was only lukewarm. The signal on the TV dropped out frequently, which was frustrating.

    Check-in was smooth and easy, staff were welcoming, and the room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable with a huge bed. The spa area was tidy with an excellent sauna and steam room, and the pool itself is a good size. The restaurant looked inviting, with plenty of options for different dietary needs. There was also plenty of parking available, and the TV in the room had Sky Sports.

    Nothin!

    The room was big and bed very comfortable. We had drinks vouchers as we were a group celebrating our 60th birthdays! There were improvements underway so the reception was located in the spa so very busy. The spa facilities were good. Bar food and restaurant very good. The only criticism was that we were not able to leave our cases (we turned up early to go to the races) but that was due to no space available but probably due to the current works.

    bit annoyed that we had to pay extra for the use of the pool because we didn't book the hotel direct. We were not aware of this and we have never experienced additional charges for the use of a hotel pool.

    The room and overall hotel was nice... staff were all very welcoming.

    Don’t book through booking.com, you have to pay extras for breakfast and the pool which everyone else had included.

    Nice rooms, comfy and good breakfast

    A charge is automatically applied to the bill for use of the pool and spa, and as we didn't use these facilities, we had to request that this was removed.

    Room spacious, with air con which was very important during a heatwave. Staff very friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice. Evening meal in the restaurant was also very good. As the hotel was being refurbished, we were given vouchers for free drinks which we thought was a nice touch.

    Certain parts of this hotel is very dark and it’s a shame as it could be a great hotel. I found a couple of staff not friendly or helpful it found some of the staff amazing.

    Breakfast was fine. Most of the staff were very good. My granddaughter wanted an ice lolly and one of the staff , got one for her, which was great.

    Every thing was too expensive

    All lovely but already expensive and then we paid for breakfast and extra to use the pool. We ate in the bar the food and drink was very good but again too expensive. I know you get what you pay for but what we got should have been a lot cheaper.

    We had booked two rooms both with double beds but had only two single beds in the room which were slightly uncomfortable.

    Food was above expectation, staff was very friendly. The spa was excellent and not too crowded. Good location not too far from Newbury town centre.

    Not 100% fully accessible - quite a variation in levels between areas, in corridors and reception. Not always with handrails. Slope between reception and restaurant steep. Lift to bar not working. Disabled toilet available and clean. Would have preferred mugs rather than cup and saucer. Don’t like self service breakfast particularly for basic tea/coffee and toast. Very expensive morning coffee.

    Plenty of friendly and attentive staff Very good rooms - spacious, well equipped Love the Temple Spa products Disabled parking right outside reception
