    Immaculate room with a breathtaking sea view.

    Shower temperature was unpredictable and could become scalding.

    fresh-cracked eggs
    friendly staff
    seafront location
    tiny basin
    ancient tv

    Waking up to a cracking breakfast was a total treat, especially those fresh-cracked eggs! The staff were absolute legends, making us feel right at home, and the lovely sea view from our room just topped it off. Plus, it's right there on the seafront—absolute gem!

    Now, the kettle situation was a bit dodgy—couldn't fill it in the tiny basin. Plus, finding the right shower temp was a proper faff—it's either lukewarm or scalding! When it comes to the room, it was smallish and the TV was so ancient it felt like a museum piece!

    comfortable bed
    beachfront location
    dated room
    lack of cleaning service
    garbage not collected

    A comfortable bed provided great restful nights, and the beachfront location offered stunning views. The breakfast menu featured tasty omelettes and excellent coffee. the room felt old and poorly maintained, with dust-covered lamps and a lack of daily cleaning services. Garbage was not collected during our stay, detracting from the overall experience.

    sea front view
    breakfast variety
    outdated room

    great location but rooms need some attention

    The sea front view was truly lovely and made our mornings enjoyable. Breakfast offered a variety of options and was fresh each day.

    The budget double room felt a bit outdated and could use some improvements.

    Needs improvement
    5.0

    The budget double room feels more like a closet than a hotel room, barely allowing space for the bed and a few inches to maneuver. It’s got tired decor and a bathroom with holes in the walls where fixtures used to be, which isn’t exactly welcoming. The lack of storage means you’re left shuffling around belongings, and the view of the dustbins really kills any peaceful atmosphere you might hope for. Noise from staff as they clean and do their business goes on late, making it hard to rest or relax. Even basic amenities like electrical sockets or storage in the bathroom could use some improvement. it didn’t feel like a place I could unwind.

    beach access
    sun terrace
    tricky door

    We loved our stay here and especially enjoyed the stunning beach access and the relaxing sun terrace. It was the perfect spot for unwinding after our days out. The only hitch was that the room door was a bit tricky to open, but it didn't take away from the overall great experience! 😊

    exceptional breakfast

    amazing, amazing, amazing

    Waking up in my Double Room was pure bliss with views of the beach right outside my window! The exceptional breakfast spread each morning was hard to resist, especially those fresh, hot pastries that melted in my mouth. Plus, the sun terrace was the perfect spot to soak up those rays and sip my morning coffee!

    would recommend ☀️❤️

    good coffee
    sea views

    It was just an appropriate option for a fleeting pause in Shanklin with real value for money. The coffee was really good and served quickly on the terrace with beautiful sea views. Ensure to check dining hours if you're planning to eat late.

    great location

    We loved the beach views from the veranda during breakfast and dinner. Exploring the nearby amusements and fantastic ice cream shop was a highlight too. Downloading the PayByPhone app was super handy for parking. The staff were friendly and had great tips for ferry discounts. We'll definitely be back as it made for a perfect base for our adventures.
