Great place to tour the Isle of Wight.
Pros:

Lovely clean hotel. The breakfast was excellent. Our room was nice and spacious. We had a view of the church across the street.

Cons:

We stayed during a heatwave and unfortunately like most UK hotels no aircon. However there was a fan.

Beautiful hotel in fantastic location. Great value for money. Recommended!
Pros:

Beautiful hotel in a lovely quiet area. Hotel itself was quiet with no real noise. Very well kept and beautifully decorated. The entire hotel was so clean even in areas that are usually missed like stairwells. The smell in the hotel was lovely and fresh. An absolute delight to walk into. Rooms were beautifully furnished including fans for these warmer months. Breakfast was fabulous, plentiful and great value for money and the staff were happy, welcoming and extremely knowledgeable of the area and always happy to help. We also enjoyed ending our days with a nice cold drink from the well stocked bar which was not extortionately priced. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable. We will be back!

Cons:

I can honestly say that there was not one thing we could say we didn’t like or were unhappy with.

Quality hotel in good location. Parking not the easiest
Pros:

Really nice room with balcony. Good location for Old Shanklin and the beach.
Smart and well maintained hotel.
Good breakfast

Cons:

Parking. We managed to get unto the car park at the back each time - but then need help to access building via fire doors

Loved the village and facilities of Shanklin and loved the music events that the hotel laid on,
Pros:

Very central and good location to the beach.
Breakfast was very good and staff were very friendly and helpful,
Room was bright and airy although the bathroom was a wet room and floor was always wet so uncomfortable to the soles of the feet.

Cons:

Car parking was restricted as other drivers were not considerate in parking their cars and tended to take two spaces which caused difficulty in finding a space.
Clearly marking out car spaces would have improved the situation,

The Fig Tree Hotel
Pros:

Location was perfect and friendly staff. The chef Steve done a great job coping with breakfast orders.

Balcony rooms and staff are fabulous, will happily go back.
Pros:

Staff (the gent in particular) were absolutely excellent.
We upgraded to a balcony room (with a bit of a sea view even!) which was fabulous (maybe better with a good carpet cleaner as there were some stains). Great space and very clean.
Original room was a bit small and hot and no fan so upgrading was an easy choice and thankfully as there was availability.
Bar and happy hour prices great. Shame no food in the evening apart from the usual crisps and peanuts at the bar.
Onsite parking was handy.

Cons:

Original room before we upgraded.

Fabulous stay! Well worth the money and staff all very friendly and attentive !
Pros:

Brilliant location! Wonderful staff! Decor very modern and well laid out! Great breakfast with good choice on menu!

Cons:

Could have benefited from offering light snacks of sandwiches! Plenty of places to eat in local area but sometimes all you want is a toasted sandwich or a roll! Bar staff very attentive though and made teas and hot chocolate when asked!

Good
Pros:

The property was modern and contemporary. It was better than many hotels I have seen on the Island.

Cons:

Communal areas needed some attention for cleaning- the disabled toilet floor was not clean and the outside entrance to the property would benefit from hoovering and a wash of the concrete stairs. Sorry I am a previous hotel owner .
