Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has spacious and comfortable rooms that are very clean, staff are friendly, and the breakfast is absolutely gorgeous. The location is perfect, close to the railway station and within walking distance of the town and beach on the Isle of Wight. Dining offers fantastic local produce, but the early timing may not suit everyone. Overall, a great place for a short break or summer holiday on the Isle of Wight.
The hotel was well-appointed with modern amenities like a flat-screen TV and free WiFi in the clean and comfortable rooms. The owners were helpful and friendly, but the decor seemed a bit haphazard with cables visibly running around. The location near the train station was convenient, but some facilities appeared run-down.
The hotel offers clean, comfortable rooms with friendly staff and a great location. The breakfast is delicious, and the facilities are well-equipped. However, the accommodation is a bit dated, and the dining area could use some modernization.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was very comfortable, clean, and offered a lot of services. However, it was far too small without enough storage space for two suitcases. The service was extremely nice and welcoming, but not intrusive. The location was convenient, close to the town, beach, and railway station, offering a warm welcome. The dining experience was substantial and tasty, with a cooked-to-order breakfast, but nothing extraordinary. Overall, a decent stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel was clean and comfortable, very well located, recommended. The rooms offered a lot of services like a flat-screen TV, free WiFi, and en-suite facilities. The service was very accommodating and friendly. The location was awesome, close to both bus and train services. The dining experience was good with a delicious choice of cereals and a full English breakfast. The facilities were excellent, and the hotel was just off the main road through Sandown.
The hotel is ideally located, just a short walk from the town, beach, and railway station, with easy access to public transport. The rooms are spotless, and the staff is incredibly welcoming. On the downside, the dining options could be improved, but a fridge was provided in the room, which was a nice touch.
