Spent 4 nights here and had a nice stay I booked for a single person but they gave me a double room with sea view which was much appreciated The room was clean and had everthing in it. Tea coffee tv fan towels The bed was very comfortable and sheets were clean The owner/staff were very polite and accommodating Nice outdoor pool Good place to stay if coming on public transport 5 minute walk to train station and a couple of minutes walk to the beach Good. Value for the money I paid I would stay here again

We stayed at the hotel for the Isle of Wight Festival. It's a great location overlooking the bay at Shanklin. I understand that the hotel has relatively recently changed hands (having been named something else before) - and the new owners are working to restore the hotel back to glory from a period of underinvestment. Consequently, today, it's a mix of promise and past realities - with some areas looking tired. Our room was ok. Clean bedding, towels etc. The bathroom was in need of replacement - but it looked as if they tried to make it decent / the best of it. It wouldn't have survived a "Four in a Bed" episode however - with dust in the bathroom fan, mould on the tiles (owing to lack of air circulation) and cobwebs on the ceiling / flies in the lampshade. It was comfortable however - and good for what we needed while out all day at the festival. As a few other reviews have noted, your room is not made-up daily (unlike normal hotel expectations) - meaning that you'll need to ask for towels to be replaced, make your own bed, and keep your cups clean (unless you ask for fresh ones). It's a skeleton staff - however those we met were lovely and very keen to help / make you feel welcome. They rely a lot on the Ring Doorbell sat on the front desk to get in touch with them. Sadly, I don't think I ever saw this working (battery flat when we needed it). In summary, it's a hotel in a great location that hopefully is back on its way up. In the meantime, it's really just a place to sleep (eg AirBnB room rental). I wish the staff every success in getting it back into a place where it should be given its location.
