Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Elephant At The Market is frequently praised for its excellent central location in Newbury, right on the market square and within walking distance of the train station, making it convenient for exploring the town and even taking a day trip to London. Guests often highlight the spacious and nicely decorated rooms, some with views of the town and unique features like those in the former stables.

adequate stay in town center

cheerful staff easy check-in unclear signage bottom gap

i found the staff to be cheerful and check-in was easy. the location is convenient to the corn exchange.

the car park access was not ideal and lacked clear signs. missing the turning meant a long detour on a one-way street i also noticed my room door had a large gap at the bottom, allowing visibility into the corridor.

Admirable stay at this hotel

friendly staff comfortable bed

The staff members were friendly. Check-in went smoothly. The beautiful double room included everything I needed. The bed was very large and comfortable. The location right in the heart of town was wonderful. The bar provided a good experience.

The access to the car park was not ideal. The turning was not clearly identified. The need to drive all the way around on a one way street caused some trouble.

Dining

Breakfast and food were excellent. The breakfast included many options. The staff provided prompt service in the dining area. The food tasted fresh and flavorful. The location of the restaurant allowed for easy access.
