A lovely view from the room and so convenient for the cliff lift to get down to the beach and beachfront entertainment and food. Upon check in we were greeted warmly. Strange that there were no lamps in the room when we entered but reception provided us with a lamp for each bedside table in a short time. Only 2 mugs provided for a 3 people stay and biscuits and toiletries were not topped up throughout our stay. However that said, the food at breakfast and for the evening meal was excellent. Good choices for both main and dessert. The seagulls were rather bold pinching food off the terrace table! Easy walk to catch bus to the needles and wildlife sanctuary. 10 minute walk to Shanklin chine.

I have never been to such a horrible room. The old, damp, torn carpet and the furniture—oh my god—look like they were collected from a street dump. The hotel needs serious renovation; it’s not good value for money for a room to stay in. Breakfast felt like a queue for some charity food supply, with very limited time. Flies around and dirty plates. We felt so sophisticated inside room have to sleep opening balcony door in fear. Staffs are helpful, they gave their best to make us happy but property they can’t do anything unless maintained and provided quality fixtures fittings. I believe because of staffs efforts this property is holding its strength otherwise it would have been grounded. My wife was very upset I chose this property from Expedia looking at photos which are different from reality.

Lovely holiday!

Absolutely wonderful stay. Very clean room, just needed to request extra pillows, which were provided and made sleeping much easier. Quiet room, wonderful sounds of seagulls in the morning. A lovely view of the sea through one window! So pleasant, and a great location!

We only stayed one night, which was all we would have managed on that particular bed. The hotel is in need of a makeover and believe it is under new management. It is clean and tidy though and the staff were great. The breakfast was very nice, cooked to order.

Awful. Paid £340 for two nights. Business clearly has no money. We were the only guests there! Pool closed, no sunloungers, no toiletries in bathroom, sweltering hot room - no fans. Mentioned to the owner about being disappointed the pool was closed and he pointed at the sea and joked “there’s your pool” Left a day early and expected (at the very least) two breakfasts and two dinners that we’d paid for to be refunded but after chasing three times was just ignored. Only redeeming factor was that the reception and restaurant staff were very nice.

Very overpriced for what you get, too basic beware

Well, where to start? Please bare in mind this room is in a range of £160-£170 gbp per night... Let's point out the positives first. Positives: Large room, stunning view, great location, free parking, clean overall and nice members of staff. That's about it! Negatives: 1.Very noisy, you can hear people talking behind the wall. 2. Hotel itself have a hospital feel, it feels like it was converted into hotel rooms, but all very clinical. 3. No ventilation whatsoever, no air-conditioning, very hot in the rooms, so you will have to sleep with open windows (not enough oxygen even with all windows open) 4. No shower products provided (no shampoo, no shower gel) For £160 gbp per night it's unacceptable. 5. No fridge, so any drinks in this room will get very warm 6. No proper coffee in the whole hotel! You will get a sachet on instant coffee and a kettle (shocking for the asking price) 7. Very late check in, you won't be able to get your room until 3pm, it's a half of the day gone! and very early check out, you will have to leave at 10am, straight after your breakfast. Any hotel at this price range will be 2pm check-in and 12 afternoon check-out with optional later check-out. 8. No hangers anywhere in the bathroom, your clothes on a floor. 9. Very poor breakfast. One item each, barely enough for a child to eat! No proper coffee, instant terrible quality coffee - sorry it's undrinkable! Won't stay there again. Only if no options available, maximum 1 night stay hotel.

Very disappointed, I feel the issue is with Expedia and the way the room is sold, I booked a twin room that sleeps 3, the picture of this room "Standard Twin room" stated it slept 3 people and showed a sea view, when my wife and I arrived at the hotel to check in we were given room 126A which was an awful room, 2 single beds, definitely could not sleep 3 and was nothing more than a box room. nowhere near what the photo of the room portrayed. The picture supplied is of the room we upgraded to at an extra cost to me, we were told it was a triple view room, but wasn't made up, so I had to ask for new towels, mugs and bed linen, as the old bed linen from the previous occupants was still on the beds. The reason for wanting a twin room that slept 3 people, was for my wife who is recovering from major surgery.

The Ocean View's strongest features is its location, high above the beach but close to the lift. The downside is that it primarily caters to tour groups, leaving the solo traveler a bit confused at times.

I didn’t have a good experience. I was refused dinner by the lady at reception, who told me I was too late—even though her colleague had informed me at check-in that I could decide on dinner by 6 PM. I politely asked her to check with the restaurant to see if it was still possible to get any food, but she refused to do so. She also told me that breakfast was not available before 8 AM. However, when I came in the morning, another receptionist kindly helped me arrange breakfast before 8 AM with an organized group.
