    Everything was fantastic, very friendly people, amazing location, great pool and sauna, tasty breakfasts with good selection! The only downside - the WIFI wasn’t working well in the hotel room, otherwise the stay was lovely.

    - really needs a refresh - very noisy flooring, kept getting woken up by neighbours above moving across the room - bathroom needs redoing

    - great location - indoor pool - decent breakfast - ok sized room - close to beach and local points of interest - friendly staff

    We reported the bathroom fan on arrival which was completely broken and we were told it would be fixed but it never was so meant we could not shower in the bathroom as there was no other means of ventilation and not good for the toilet.

    All staff except head waiter on the last morning were very friendly. The swimming pool was a big bonus and great as we had it to ourselves

    I requested late check out for only 1 hour extra, was agreed but staff did not communicate with each other. Means, I was threatened to leave in 30 minutes or would be charged extra, not good attitude.

    Room size, indoor swimming pool, breakfast options.

    Although it wasnt a big issue for us, the cooked breakfast was a bit of a hit and miss!

    Our room look like it had just been decorated, very nice, clean, big windows and a nice view onto the sea. Friendly staff, great location too.

    The room was a bit overheated (the heater wasn't on and it's actually slightly chilled outside) and with a smell of new wooden furnitures.

    Great breakfast options; walking distance to the train station and very close to seaside.

    We could have found out that we need to order in advance if we like to eat at their restaurant for dinner.

    It’s accommodating and got an amazing location near the beach.

    An ‘okay’ place that could do better with a bit more ‘investment in its guest provision’…

    It is clean - but tired and dated. The parking - especially for the disabled - is no better than adequate. The meals are nice but not value for money. This is a three-star hotel that charges four-star prices. It’s an ‘okay’ place that could do better if it better invested in its services…

    The staff - especially the waiters and waitresses - were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Kimberley, Wiz, Andy and Lee deserve a special mention 🙌

    It is a little dated throughout and some things could do with a refresh. The pool changing rooms smelt very strongly of urine which was most unpleasant.

    The location is excellent. Shanklin is beautiful and the hotel is in the heart of it.

    Didn’t feel like the cleanest hotel, the carpets felt quite dusty and the whole room could have been kept cleaner

    Beautiful location and great breakfast. The pool and sauna facilities were also appreciated.
