The downside is that it primarily caters to tour groups, leaving the solo traveler a bit confused at times. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/81b7294c-92fb-4ed4-b10c-03a7cde3aa79-1749469761542.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### jonathan Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Joan 21 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities I paid for sea view room and I was accommodated in a small, dark room at the back of the hotel. The receptionist told me, that it happens and there is nothing to do about it. ##### Joan Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Michael 25 Jul 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Swimming pool looked lovely on photos but was filthy the place itself is being done up but the room was dirty with cockroach in the room ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hannah 13 Aug 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Hannah Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Chris 4 Oct 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is in a terrible state of repair . The public areas and our room did not look like it had been redecorated or re furnished in decades.The outside pathways are broken and hazardous . The garden is sad and uncared for with a broken lamp on the steps . The entrance door is broken and the lift is broken . The restaurant has cobwebs on the ceiling and a dead / dying plant in the corner .Our room had old / scratched furniture ,a joke of a hot drinks facility ,cheap kettle . The bathroom was ancient and the hand basin’s plug hole did not look like it had seen bleach in sometime .Tiny , supposed double bed .It is a shame as the room size is good and the sea view wonderful . The staff were pleasant but the overall impact of the hotel is thoroughly depressing . We had booked for 2 nights but stayed for only one . ##### Chris Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### mark 26 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Christmas night stay Lovely stay, cannot fault anything.

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. ##### Stuart Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shweta 26 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice views n great location!
