Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
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.
Fantastic stay ideal location for seafront and views from outside hotel over sea are superb enjoyed the walk to sandown and good pubs in shanklin worth a visit too
The hotel is old but everything is clean, tidy and comfortable.

Friendly, professional staff team. Lovely big room with a balcony and view out to sea. Beds comfortable with clean fresh white linen. Superb shower. Breakfast service fast and food good .
Overall a great place to stay. Room feels a little dated but does not effect the stay. Good indoor swimming pool
For our stay there was a very annoying flashing street light immediately outside, this was no fault of the hotel as councils responsibility.
Hotel was in a good location.
I booked six single rooms for a cycling weekend, all the rooms were comfy, the hotel bar was friendly, and the cooked breakfast for next day was excellent.
I’d recommend the hotel.
It was excellent stay and the price was great . The breakfast wasn’t great to be honest

Lovely spot with sea view, rooms need updating, very tired. Bar not open when we were there and no entertainment offered. Nice swimming pool but such a long trek to it with lots of stairs not suitable for everyone. Otherwise as advertised.
It was a great stay, really enoyed the Hotel's freindly and professional staff.
My stay was made super special by the warm welcome and greeting by FOH, receptionist Sara M.
She was the icing on the cake for me.
Thanks

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The property was clean, but for the cost of as not great value for money. Room was hot - no air conditioning. Breakfast selection of hot food good, but no fresh fruit, pastries, etc. limited and a place to sleep…
This hotel was exactly what we wanted - QUIET!!! The windows were open at night and all we heard were the waves and the birds. I never sleep through the night, but the time we were here - I slept straight through every night!! Amazing! Staff were brilliant and helpful and your restaurant staff treated us like family. Highly recommend your hotel.

Hotel relies on coach holidays which is not always conducive for independent travellers. Bedroom roomy but bed a bit lumpy and small. Most hotels of this supposed standard would be looking at minimum 5ft bed not 4ft 6

Very friendly staff and great location. Best rooms balcony seaview. The hotel has a good facilities but it is dated. A bit more maitenance and tidying up would make it an excellent hotel. We didn't have the evening meal but the breakfast, full English was good apart from the sausages and scrambled eggs! We would return.
Breakfast was at best chaotic and poor quality. Room was basic with large black stain on one duvet and dirty sink unit in Bathroom. Location is ok.

Has pros & cons, but would consider staying again
Bed linens and towels were fresh, clean, and comfy. However, the shower had hairs in it, and there were two dropped pens on the floor under the desk - suggesting that it doesn't get cleaned thoroughly... The bathroom was good but bedroom fixtures could use updating.
Staff were wonderful, location is great.
I guess you get what you pay for, it was cheaper than most other places, overall was good and would consider staying again.
I am happy with everything, but cleaning and changing the bed sheets need everyday, but we see cleaner only when we are leaving the room’s, need to put more tea and coffee’s. for the guests. Otherwise Good .
Could not order evening meal on first night as they only take orders in the morning. hadcto walk to Shanklin village 10 mins . hot lucky to find table availability.
Good location. Staff friendly to guests BUT rumours staff of not being pad so they left leading them short staffed!
Great free swimming pool

The Sea room and balcony were excellent! Well worth the extra money. Checked in on Monday morning quite early, the female Receptionist managed to” chase up” our room and we booked in. Logan in the Restaurant I would. consider an Asset, our meal booking form was misplaced and he simply sorted it with a cheerful smile.Afternoons spent on the balcony!glass of wine, will book again and recommend to others.
