The lobby and reception area are probably the best of the building.

Daniel, United Kingdom

The hotel is the worst we have stayed at so far. The staff were unhelpful and rude. The rooms had mould and damp. The Sauna did not work. The breakfast was gross- mould on the bread and when asked for it to be changed, no apologies but simply leftover bread from another table was served. We asked to have dinner on the first night and were rudely told that it is all booked with coach trips. The hotel has various coach trip travellers staying therefore not suitable for leisure purposes. It is a 1 star hotel and the service makes the experience horrible. The location is decent but most rooms have tree views not SEA view as described. There are lots of hotels fronting sea which may be a better stay. I would definitely not recommend staying here.

Reema, United Kingdom

Breakfast was not bad but most of all the staff were accommodating and had very pleasant manners.

Ishta, United Kingdom

The reception staff were lovely, and the free parking and location do the hotel were really good for our needa

Laura, United Kingdom

Loved the jacuzzi as we got to spend time with the kids as a family .

Northall, United Kingdom

Breakfast very poor. No fresh fruit and poor choice of cereal , if you dont ask for yoghurt you don't get. No vending machine either. Staff friendly and accomodating especially friendly receptionist guy. Views from top floor lovely. Bit hot and stuffy in the hotel. Bed comfy. Shower not great- poor pressure.

Natasha, United Kingdom

The location is nice, room was spacious, bed was comfy, breakfast was good. They do need to provide free wifi.

Rupam, United Kingdom

Breakfast was good and the entertainment was excellent even though I was there on business.

Stephen, United Kingdom

Great location - close to the beach and town centre. Room very clean and with all needed facilities as kettle cups tea coffee.

Grazyna, United Kingdom

Staff all very friendly and helpful hotel was clean our double room was large clean with modern bathroom our children had twin room very clean but bathroom little dated it was a shower over bath that didn't work that wellbut as was only one night it didn't matter over a longer stay would have been annoying but our beds were comfy very clean and it was quiet . Swimming pool was nice just that we went early and was told that the heater had to be turned off at night as some rooms above swimming pool said it was noisy so the receptionist said we could wait an hour but we braved it and it wasn't cold at all normal swimming pool temp only disappointment was we didn't realise there was a sauna until in the pool and saw the notice saying ask staff 20 min before you can use it by the time we saw the sign we were all in the pool and didn't want to go back to reception to ask

What Travelers Love About This Location

“It was very clean and the staff were lovely.”

Vanessa

United Kingdom

“The location to the beach and shops was ideal, also, if something was not just right the staff went out of there way to correct it.”

vanessa

United Kingdom

“I went here not expecting much, I never would from seaside English hotels, but I was pleasantly surprised, it really stood out on a couple of points. The staff: the people at the front desk were really friendly and made you feel very welcome. I was impressed with just how friendly they were in what came across as a really genuine manner, i.e. it wasn't smarmy! Full marks to them, they were excellent. The breakfast: I wasn't expecting much, no tomato juice for starters and that's always the first sign of a good breakfast to come. However they excelled, the full English was excellent and included the trimming items like hash browns, black pudding and fried bread, it was yummy! Oh and all delivered by a waitress who was, like the front desk staff, very helpful and friendly. Swimming pool: this was a real plus and seemed hardly used by anyone, so we had it to ourselves for as long as we were there which was great. The walk down to the beach, though steep wasn't far and the beach front at Shanklin is really good. Overall I was pleasantly surprised, especially with the staff, they did themselves proud and we had a great couple of night stay.”

눉Old hotel that haven't been maintained. Smell the hospital in the corridors through your room. Seems nothing has changed since this time there.

- • Stayed 1 night
눉rooms are very small, shower terrible breakfast was dire view of a car park
눇We are not complainers, and frequent travellers, but we can safely say that the breakfast was absolutely awful - probably the worst we have ever been served. We requested vegetarian english breakfasts. We were served half of a sausage each (while other diners in the restaurant were given 2 plump sausages each) and very undercooked scrambled eggs. The service was unapologetic and unimpressive. we will not be visiting again and will be warning others.

눉I selected the twin room option when booking the room. However we got a double bed. The staff said this is only an option provided by Booking.com and we actually need to select a different room altogether to get twin beds. This is misleading on the booking website.

“The room was satisfactory but the breakfast was well below expectation - I wouldn't pay £100 again”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉The breakfast staff weren't co-ordinated at all and one lady in particular was quite flustered that we'd been seated, and seated at a table that wasn't ready. 3 separate staff then tried to take our order. We went to breakfast at around 9am and both ordered the cooked breakfast - when the breakfasts arrived it was clear by the speed and condition of the meals that they weren't fresh and that they'd been sat under a hot plate for a while. My egg's yolk had a skin so thick that my fork and knife bounced of it - I didn't eat it. The toast was also cold by the time it got to us. This isn't the breakfast I expect after paying £100 a night for a room.
눇The reception staff were lovely, and the free parking and location do the hotel were really good for our needa

“Great location but not value for money”
- • Leisure trip

눉Shower didn't have any pressure. With long hair and after having a long drive and ferry trip I couldn't wash my hair not acceptable for £114!! Reported to reception and asked for a reduction on the bill which they said that I needed to contact a central number which I will be doing. Also bar had closed before 10pm so couldnt get a drink and was told it was mainly a coach hotel and the elderly residents had gone to bed so had decided to close early.
