The rooms were packed together. I could hear constant noise from 3 other rooms around me - talking very loudly until 2.00am and then starting again around 6.00am. Children ran up and down outside the rooms constantly. It's a shame because the hotel itself was very good.

There was no beach view It was a side window with the ocean in the distance. Walls and doors paper thin and you heard everyone else coming up the stairs and talking. Prepare yourself for no sleep.
Enjoyed isle of wight but won't return to the this accomodation.

Staff was friendly and helpful, the property was in a convenient spot, easy to get everywhere you want to go. The room was a little cramped, mostly the bathroom, but served its purpose just fine. Would stay again.

Staff were very good and helpful. Especially the breakfast staff. It was a lovejy little hotel close to buses and trains. Also the lift up and down to the seafront was very convenient. I hope to revisit next year.
Also a special mention to the receptionist on check out. Who checked out the train and ferry tunes for me. I was very pleased with everything.

Business trip
Nice hotel, not actually right by the sea as I expected as it is actually on a cliff, but this could be my fault for not looking at all the photos. Some of the hotel is nicely decorated, other areas quite shabby. I booked a single room which was very tiny and claustrophobic but it was a good price. Close to shops and a high street and cliff walks. Staff helpful and friendly. Great views on the veranda. Breakfast was average but plenty as it was a buffet.

Perfectly fine for a short stay. Photos of the place versus reality not exactly true to life, the place could do with a bit of a refresh in my opinion, was a bit tired looking (but was clean). Stayed for two nights, never saw anyone except a cleaner briefly! Reminded me somewhat of the Mary Celeste and the Overlook from The Shining! It was out of season however, so probably why!
