Really nice pub and very friendly and helpful staff. Bed was comfortable and the location really convenient. Very much enjoyed staying here. Despite it being a popular pub, the rooms are quiet and we had no issues sleeping even with the window open. Self serve continental breakfast was perfect as didn't want to be tempted by a cooked offering!

Old building so uneven floors and creaky floorboards as expected. Shower in bathroom- "rainfall" showerhead that covered pretty much all the shower footprint, difficult to not be under the water to larger up hair or leave conditioner in for a bit! Lighting in bathroom also a bit dim. Not unusable just not ideal for doing your makeup! Also no wardrobe or drawers for anyone who likes to unpack suitcases whilst staying.

The location so close to the station and town centre was good. The room was old but not tired. Very clean. Great bath with instant hot water, which was great after a long day walking. The staff downstairs were very chilled out and accommodating. The hotel didn't have staff in the morning, so breakfast was self-serve. Which was fine - but I didn't know who to ring / how to get information in the mornings so if you have queries make sure to ask the bar staff the night before who are very friendly. They had a very popular quiz night on Weds so if you're staying then make sure you make alternative dinner arrangements or book a table early.

no staff in the mornings. Breakfast was fine (not good, not bad).

The Dolphin is a Pub with rooms. Our room was spacious comfortable bed. Shower and Toilet OK. TV good Food in Hotel was good, General Bar cuisine. Bar area was comfortable outside and inside. Breakfast was Continental. Nice meats and bread. Cereals also. A nice Breakfast offering. Location was excellent a short walk to the Town. for us a long walk to Newbury Races(40minutes) Would I stay again, "most definitely" Good Carparking

Carpark was adequate. but make sure you put your registration into the PC at the Bar. A minor negative

Lovely pub with outdoor space. Food was good and the continental breakfast options in the morning were great. Well located in the town centre. Parking provided free of charge. Room was lovely and clean, with a TV, and a comfortable bed. We had an issue with the parking (received a ticket), but this was sorted quickly and efficiently by the staff.

Only minor things - toilet cistern kept running and extractor fan wasn’t working, but all very small issues that can be fixed really quickly :) Overall, we were very happy.

We were there for racing at Newbury so the location was very good. I came by train and The Dolphin is about 400 yards from Newbury main station. Very attractive pub, with lots of varied spaces both exterior and interior if anyone wants to hold an event. Room large and comfortable. Very easy to walk into the attractive centre of Newbury which we hadn't been to before. Very good staff

Continental breakfast ok but would be helpful to have a note out that juices, cold platters were in the fridge as easily missed

I LOVED our staff at the Dolphin! When we checked in, I thought 'what an unusually helpful staff member'!! And it just got better from there! ALL the staff went above and beyond the call of duty with SUCH a feeling of helpfulness(kindness?)! Breakfast was very nice!

There really was nothing I didn't like. We had been warned there might be noise from the bar before they closed at 12 but there was not enough to bother me (although I DO sleep with earplugs anyway...).

Everything was great. Bed and room are comfortable and good shower facilities. The Dolphin has a good menu and the staff always great you with a smile.

On the rare occasion I return to the Dolphin late on a Wednesday night the car park is full due to the ever popular Quiz night. I sometimes have to find parking elsewhere temporarily until the quiz night finishes but hey, this is a minor issue that I can deal with.

Pleasantly surprised with the quality of the room - it was spacious, with a very comfy bed, really good heating and plenty of tea and coffee on offer. The bathroom was good quality with a lovely bath. We also really enjoyed the continental breakfast on offer, which was very much a help yourself model but with plenty of options available. The location is fantastic for walking around Newbury.

Ideal location as very near to town and local amenities. Room was beautifully appointed and very clean. Staff very pleasant and welcoming. Had a great day at the local race course which is a 5 minute drive from hotel.

Not keen on a continental breakfast but plenty of it. Didn't see any members of staff around the inn first thing. If you had had any problems overnight you couldn't report to anyone. Plus if someone is there to welcome you they should be there to say goodbye.

Self service continental breakfast ,plenty of variety ,no probs with it .Pub is in a good location ,easy to walk into town .Town attractive with river and canal walks .Pub authentic and ancient but well modernised .Good parking .Walk to river /canal and find the tearoom there for tea and cake

It was hot when we stayed and old places don't have air conditioning but a fan was provided and we left the window open .Floors in bedrooms upstairs not level because of age of building ,no probs for us but if unsteady on feet maybe could be a nuisance for some people .
