Belvedere Hotel  

The location was brilliant

The room was a bit cramped as a double and single The shower head needed replacing Breakfast times could have been longer No parking

The hotel was in a fantastic location. It was comfortable and clean and we were delighted that our 'town view' room turned out to be a 'sea view' room with a balcony. The owners are friendly but not intrusive and made us feel very welcome. The restaurant serves excellent food at very good prices in an excellent location. They also serve you at the table unlike most other local restaurants who require you to queue at the bar for food and drinks. We will definitely return to this hotel; maybe even within the next few weeks.

Facilities

Friendly owners , good sea views and good location for buses

Bathroom quite small , wash basin blocking part of toilet.

Excellent location. We did not get the sea-view rooms but ask for them when you book.

1. We booked the hotel through booking.com and it was confirmed. Around two hours later when we reached the hotel, we were told that they had just received the confirmation and that the rooms were still being prepared. We were asked to hang about and come back in some time. However, the rooms were sorted out sooner. 2. The shower motor made a loud whirring sound in one of the rooms (no. 17) and was quite irritating. 3. Being a Saturday night and the rooms facing the town there was lot of street noise. 4. There is no parking at the hotel and it's difficult to find a bay close by on peak days. 4. The breakfast minimalistic and was not up to the mark as compared to other BnB'S. 5. For the breakfast we asked for a table that had a beach view, but were declined - saying our table was already laid out when we could see many empty tables with a sea view. When we explained this reason we were told a firm 'no'. 6. The television in room 17 did not work. It's placed on top of a cupboard and the cord does not reach the electrical outlet.

I booked the last room in this hotel on Friday at about 10 pm for the following day with view on the town thinking i would certainly be disappointed, but when we arrived, although they couldn't find our booking first (they had had a printer problem I believe) they said they had a room with balcony with view on the sea. Believe me this made all the difference! I would certainly recommend this hotel if you get a room with view on the sea. Sandown is also a very nice area. And all the staff were really friendly.

The sea views were great and the proximity to the beach

nothing except the location and view

very tired and dated unbelievingly cramped showeroom full of mould around tiles. very poor old bedding and towels - uncomfortable bed -worst breakfast - whole place needs a massive overhaul -

We liked the fact that it was overlooking the beach. The view from the balcony was amazing and unexpected. The local bus stopped right outside the entrance, which was great for us as we were without a vehicle.The breakfast was great and other meals were certainly substantial. We would use the hotel again as it was adequate for the purpose of our visit.

The space in the room and bathroom was very limited. The furnishings were very dated. The worn out carpet by the balcony door was a "put off" as soon as we walked in the room.However it was clean .This is not a luxury hotel but for our short stay was good.

Unfortunatley there is nothing that was liked about this holiday except when we left.

The hotel needed a redecoration and also they need to update there facilities. Also the hotel bar was meant to be open till 23.00hrs but was closed by 22.20, and whilst having breakfast the owner was drinking double whisky he then tried to charge for the room again although it had been charged to me before i even arrived even though it stated that you have until 22.00hrs to check in before being charged i arrived at 21.15hrs and they had already charged my card.

Location, and good food

Somewhat dated interior and bedrooms

Location

The cleanliness of the hotel was good, however it was very tired and needed some attention, TV in the room only had two channels with no remote and was very old. The en-suite was clean but not appealing the toilet hardly flushed and I had to top it up with water to enable a flush. Overall you could not criticise the cleanliness or staff however the overall comfort I would probably not use again as the family room was somewhat restrictive and not particulary safe as bunkbed ladder led onto bedside cabinet and the ladder was little shakey, tea facility no plug near kettle so you had to plug this on the floor, my son was 8 so he was aware of the dangers however younger children I would worry about the safety. There was not hairdryer though this did not cause me any problem for myself however my daughter occupying a rooom next door it did. I am sure other travellers maybe entirely satisfied with the accomodation, however myself would most likely not wish to stay here again.
