The Fig Tree Hotel
Pros:

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

Cons:

No air conditioning which was so unbearable for two nights. Only a fan which was rubbish and no additional fans available

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!

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.

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 .

Area lovely and staff nice
Pros:

Central

Cons:

Rooms far too hot, asked for fans and they never had any, so was unpleasant, it should have fans for every room

First time to Isle of Wight, would definitely recommend here.
Pros:

If staying in Shanklin this is in the perfect spot. Everything you want or need within a 10 minute walk. We had one of the suites facing the front of the hotel and it was lovely. Great room size, the bed was really comfortable and a nice balcony to sit in the mornings or evening. The staff were welcoming and very friendly throughout our stay.

Cons:

I cannot think of a single thing that would stop us from going back to the Fig Tree.

Shanklin stay for theatre visit
Pros:

Great location, comfortable room, lovely breakfast.

Cons:

General cleaning was not what we would expect, bathroom extractor and wall next.to it were dirty, bathroom floor particularly shower area was dirty - brown when wet. Floors downstairs were in need of a hoover/mop. Chair in breakfast room had crumbs on it. Sensor on bathroom light needs adjusting. We had to walk right down to toilet for light to come on and when showering at the other end, it went out mid shower. Leaving me in the dark on a wet floor. With no choice to walk in the dark to the other end.
We would have mentioned in check out but there was no one at reception and no answer when we rang the bell.

Pros:

Das Frühstück war sehr gut. Die Lage ist zentral. Die Zimmer grosszügig. Freundliches Personal.

Cons:

Der Badezimmerboden war nicht sauber. Auch die Teekannen beim Frühstück waren wirklich eklig, da die alten Teerückstände vom Vorgebrauch (Schwarztee) nicht geputzt, sondern nur ausgespült wurden.

Pros:

Lovely Hotel ,friendly and most helpful staff ,clean tidy and spacious room wee had was a lovely weeks stay.
Weather was great too, Our only bear bug was the toaster that was in breakfast room it could only be set on number 2 and was a 4 slice toaster but as it was busy you had to wait ages for toast that is the only thing that wasn't so good but hopefully will be better if we go back there.
Breakfast was good plenty to choose from and help yourself, and then you order youre cooked stuff and its all done fresh and hot can't fault it, thank you Fig Tree for a lovely stay and would return there had a great time.
