Good

Friendly, professional staff team. Lovely big room with a balcony and view out to sea. Beds comfortable with clean fresh white linen. Superb shower. Breakfast service fast and food good .
Overall a great place to stay. Room feels a little dated but does not effect the stay. Good indoor swimming pool
For our stay there was a very annoying flashing street light immediately outside, this was no fault of the hotel as councils responsibility.

Lovely spot with sea view, rooms need updating, very tired. Bar not open when we were there and no entertainment offered. Nice swimming pool but such a long trek to it with lots of stairs not suitable for everyone. Otherwise as advertised.

The property was clean, but for the cost of as not great value for money. Room was hot - no air conditioning. Breakfast selection of hot food good, but no fresh fruit, pastries, etc. limited and a place to sleep…
Nice views n great location! Near to all amenities! Breakfast was amazing

Hotel relies on coach holidays which is not always conducive for independent travellers. Bedroom roomy but bed a bit lumpy and small. Most hotels of this supposed standard would be looking at minimum 5ft bed not 4ft 6
have never stayed in such a low standard hotel. It shouldn't have any *** and shouldn’t be called hotel. Hostel would be a better description.
It is old, worn out, old furniture, doors, carpets, seals around the bath are long gone.
Only basic hand soap by the sink. no other toiletries.
Breakfast for individual guests served only between 8.30 and 9.00.
Chceck out 10.00.
Hugely overpriced.
Could not order evening meal on first night as they only take orders in the morning. hadcto walk to Shanklin village 10 mins . hot lucky to find table availability.
Good location. Staff friendly to guests BUT rumours staff of not being pad so they left leading them short staffed!
Great free swimming pool
The bedroom was tired, dated and unclean with stains on the carpet and dust on the shelves. The shower curtain was dirty and the bath mat disgusting. However the bed was comfortable and tea and coffee facilities were good.
The balcony, i am not sure was particularly safe.
This hotel was exactly what we wanted - QUIET!!! The windows were open at night and all we heard were the waves and the birds. I never sleep through the night, but the time we were here - I slept straight through every night!! Amazing! Staff were brilliant and helpful and your restaurant staff treated us like family. Highly recommend your hotel.

The Sea room and balcony were excellent! Well worth the extra money. Checked in on Monday morning quite early, the female Receptionist managed to” chase up” our room and we booked in. Logan in the Restaurant I would. consider an Asset, our meal booking form was misplaced and he simply sorted it with a cheerful smile.Afternoons spent on the balcony!glass of wine, will book again and recommend to others.
Except for the location of the hotel, nothing is good about it. Rude front office, smelly rooms, poor food (checked later that the hotel was given 1 star rating a couple of years back), very limited parking and amenities.
Terrible experience

Has pros & cons, but would consider staying again
Bed linens and towels were fresh, clean, and comfy. However, the shower had hairs in it, and there were two dropped pens on the floor under the desk - suggesting that it doesn't get cleaned thoroughly... The bathroom was good but bedroom fixtures could use updating.
Staff were wonderful, location is great.
I guess you get what you pay for, it was cheaper than most other places, overall was good and would consider staying again.
