We had a lovely short break at The Steamer for the second time. The room was a good size with a great sea view. Breakfast was served in the bar area and was plentiful and very tasty. We ate in the bar every night as the food was delicious and we didn't see any reason to venture further for food.

A perfect little place by the sea! The room was clean and cute and the beds very comfortable. Loved to wake up in the morning and sit on the balcony, also slept the windows open to hear the sea. The restaurant downstairs closes at 10pm but there was no disturbance whatsoever even on the weekend, you could hardly even hear it to the room. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, they also got us a table in the restaurant even when there was a line outside. The restaurant also had very good vegan options, so we didn't even need to go find a place to eat in the evenings. Loved having breakfast before the restaurant opened, watching the sea in the homely atmosphere. Will definitely book again!

A welcoming Shanklin hotel in a great location.

When we arrived we were made to feel very welcome and all information was well explained. We found all the staff very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The food was excellent and very plentiful. There were a nice selection of real ales at the bar. Nice sea views from the room.
