Newbury Hotel Guide - Donnington Grove Country Club hotels in Newbury, United Kingdom.

"There was NO running water. I was there for 4 days. We were given bottled water to flush the loo. Bottled water to wash ourself. Bottled water to brush our teeth. Absolutely disgusting. Staff blamed it on too many visitor's using the water. Do NOT stay there. It was disgusting. "

"We had a lovely one night stay. The room was basic but clean. Breakfast was great-a good choice of food. Tea/coffee stations around the hotel were a real bonus. The communal areas were well kept. The only negative was that the pool was quite a bit cooler than expected. We still used it though. "

" Nice hotel in a good location just off the M4. Ideal for 1 night "

"Fabulous location, great room and excellent staff"

"The service was up to the normal Malmaison level, the hotel itself is ok. It needs some maintenance - the lifts look tatty, the bathroom sink needed the drain clearing so the water actually ran out properly. It was ok for a 'bed for the night' but didn't feel premium. "

"Modern, fresh and the staff were fantastic. "

"Only one lift running for maintenance Since rooms have been done up they smell of hospital disinfectant Gym is very small and seems to be full of staff at peak times "

"I had a lovely stay at the Red Lion. My travel plans got changed, but the staff were incredibly accommodating and immediately put me at ease - couldn't do enough for me which is always appreciated. The rooms themselves are very cozy and comfortable - I particularly liked the abundance of bird paintings and prints as decor, they were genuinely nice surprise. The shower was a particular highlight, two different showerheads, great water pressure and some lovely complimentary shower gel and conditioner. As I was staying over a weekend, the hotel staff took the courtesy of warning about potential noise from the nearby high street, however this was a non-issue during my stay - once the window was shut, I put my head down to sleep with no issues whatsoever. I would quite gladly stay at the Red Lion again next time I'm in Basingstoke, the place has a real charm and character to it and the service was genuinely excellent."

"All is good"
