It was fantastic. Perfect location for everything including the beach . Staff amazing. Breakfast delicious
The staff were all very good but severely overworked, the lady in the restaurant for breakfast was lovely, but needed help as she was doing nearly everything so unfortunately things weren't brilliant but that's not her fault.
Ewan who was the only person on duty later in the day was a great fella but was receptionist, barman and getting things ready for the morning, on his own!
The photos of the rooms are not accurate, the 1st room was dirty with cobwebs and dust, the shower was mouldy, the grout and sealant was black, the curtains were too long for the windows which had to be kept closed as there was no nets, so anyone walking past could see in, this was a basic room but not worth the money, also I had to pay £90 extra for breakfast for 2 of us for 3 days, but to be honest it wasn't worth it! We upgraded for the 2nd and 3rd nights of our stay, £44 extra! it was better but still badly decorated, and fittings in the bathroom were rusted and discoloured without a towel rail, the room wasn't cleaned whilst we were out so there was no extra tea coffee etc/bins emptied, bed made! We didn't use the pool but it looked like it needed cleaning. The outside was generally unkempt, the restaurant was closed in the evening so we went elsewhere for an evening meal,
I don't like giving bad reviews but we were disappointed with this (boutique)hotel 😔
It was in an ok position.
No lifts, not enough parking & what there was, was not in good condition or site.
I slipped & fell in the parking area, could not get up by myself, had help from my husband & daughter.
Am bruised in my operated on knees & ankle. Husband is bruised too trying to save me from slipping on the shingly surface.
No help from the hotel other than an offer of an ice pack. No other check ups made or fall recorded in their accident book!
Good location, lovely friendly staff. Comfortable beds and great breakfast choices. Added bonus of having a pool and sauna. We have stopped in quite a few Hotels in Shanklin over the last 20 plus years and this Hotel is one of the best.

Very nice place very clean people really lovely and helpful. Be lovely to go back again.
Very nice
Natalie who works on reception and helps with the bar, the resteraunt and the washing was friendly and did all she could to help.
Rooms were poorly equipped and dirty. There was not one shelf or hook even in the bathroom to put anything on. Really poor workmanship throughout. Bathroom doors which dont close or with latches that catch on the wall cladding. Broken slabs which are loose on the steps to reception. Inadequate parking. Broken steps around pool and lots of tiles missing. Generally dirty and poorly maintained. Tvs that either dont work or are difficult to use. No welcome book or information books. Poor local knowledge by staff. Pictures on booking.com are cleverly taken and not a true reflection of the premise. Not worth the money we paid. Infact we left 2 days early even after noticing there was a no refund policy!
Very helpful staff
Swimming pool and sauna a real bonus
Comfortable room
Good breakfast
Nothing
Firstly Ewan who was on reception/bar & acting manager was very helpful, however the hotel was truly dreadful. How anyone could rate anything this grim above 1 out of ten is beyond me. The room we were given was appalling we could not have stayed there it was so bad. Ewan
understood & tried to give us an alternative room but this
was almost as bad and did not suit our needs due to being on the 2nd floor & not having a walk in shower. We asked for a refund for the 2 nights we had paid for but were refused as Ewan did not have this authority so we asked for the name & number of the hotel owner which he refused to give us as he said they were away.
The list of complaints is endless there is no provision for food except breakfast even thought the hotel sign outside clearly states there is a bistro. The jacuzzi adverised was broken the pool area looked untidy very scruffy & even dirty, totally uninviting. The large lounge was tasteless, dark & dingy with absolutely no redeeming features to entice anyone to sit there. The bedroom was in need of re decoration the furniture was old & broken, the curtains were half hanging off, the shower was so small you could even turn round in it & the bathroom had no sink as it wouldn't have fitted one , so they had installed one by the bed. It was so squashed in there wasnt space to stand to wash properly . There was a screen that hung on the wall which was almost falling off & looked dangerous.
The door to the bathroom had peeling paint and looked damaged and the whole room was in really bad condition. It was tiny for a twin room & the beds were so soft we would never have been able to sleep
in them. I never normally never leave a review & I have stayed in hundreds of hotels but the most basic Travelodge is infinitely superior to this hotel.
Do not stay there unless you have no expectations.
Ewan was a nice chap
very low water pressure unable to shower Monday morning
door kept banging all night even though it was closed
toilet seat lid broken
Breakfast is a rip off for example if i just wanted poached egg on a slice of toast this would cost £15.00 no adjustment in cost
late check in due to room not being cleaned
Overall lovely stay , pool was charming and private - lovely front garden and well maintained hotel no complaints about any of it really as we slept well and the location was lovely , the sauna was off and we were informed it was working and the breakfast young woman - I believe daughter in the family made us feel a little like she didn’t really want to serve us due to her unwelcoming approach on entry to the dining area.
Aside from this we had a wonderful time and would recommend to someone staying in the area on a sunny weekend .
The hotel staff were exceptional but over-stretched. They flitted between reception, bar, restaurant and so on. One can see that there is a plan to elevate the property, but it lacked in certain areas. The shower was more of a trickle, the room cluttered with an oversized television. The room was clean , the bed comfortable. Breakfast delicous

Room too small without a desk
De centrale ruimtes zien er leuk uit.
De kamers waren heel erg gedateerd, niet schoon, ontzettend klein. Alsof we terug waren in de jaren 70. Maar de prijs was allesbehalve gedateerd. De kamer voor 2 personen kostte € 190 en onze vriend had exact dezelfde kamer en die kostte € 117. En dat was het ook al niet waard. De receptie wilde ons geen andere kamer geven en ook niet laten zien.
Wonderful hotel in a superb location, perfect for couples. The transport links are excellent, and the bus service is great. The staff were fabulous and very friendly. The hotel is decorated to a high standard, and we had a wonderful time celebrating our wedding anniversary.
Very minor point — the shower pressure was quite low, and personally I’m not a fan of shower curtains.
