"Had another great 5 day stay here with my sister. Our room was lovely overlooking the sea and very comfortable, it was also situated perfectly for my mobility needs as right next to the lift ( room 57) A slight change to the breakfast service but was actually ideal and the food was delicious. We have made a request for a Christmas booking so hoping they will be able to fit us in."

Medehamstede Hotel

Medehamstede Hotel

📍 9 Queen's Rd, Shanklin
★★ 7.5 (69 reviews)

"This hotel was only 2 star so went with low expectations. Have stayed at many hotels in IOW at the budget end on coach tours. This one was excellent by comparison. Food was plentiful, the rooms very clean and comfortable. Staff were just lovely. Charlotte worked so hard, I hope the manager appreciates her. Alison took such care and Mitch on the last night was fun in his Jamaican berry and dreadlocks. To top all of that there was brilliant entertainment. Glen and Jules brilliant, Paulo maybe not so much."

The Clifton

📍 1 Queen's Rd, Shanklin
★★★★ 9.1 (49 reviews)

"I found the Clifton Hotel to have positives and negatives. It's position on top of the cliff in Shanklin is very good. As was the excellent breakfast. The lounge,bar and outside arras were also good Negatives. It appears that our luxury room was adjacent to a doss house in a somewhat delapidated state. There is no lift. So if you fancy hauling your cases upstairs? The view to the rear of the hotel is none existant. You couldn't eat in your room. For me the bar menu was limited to basket meals. Also if you didn't want to drink the wine in the fridge they removed the wine glasses??? Would l stay at the Clifton again. Yes l would. But l would go for a room with a view to the front of the hotel. Take a room on a lower floor and ignore the no eating rule in the room imposed by the staff. I'd also take my own wine glasses"

Birkdale Guest House Hotels in Shanklin

Birkdale Guest House

"We arrived after a long flight from Australia and checked in at the Birkdale Guest House. From the minute we were greeted by Colin and Lesley we felt right at home at this venue. Our room was spacious, comfortable and had lovely decor. Everything was so clean and fresh including the spacious bathroom. The choices for breakfast were amazing, just so many and the food was delicious! The fruit salad was definitely the best fruit salad I've ever had! Birkdale Guest House is in a great location to access the old village with lots of eateries within a short walk, also close to Shanklin Chine and the beautiful Esplanade. The local buses are efficient and frequent and also very close by, if like us, you don't have a car. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay on our arrival into the UK and so glad we chose to visit the Isle of Wight. Thank you Lesley and Colin. "

Bourne Hall Country Hotel Hotels in Shanklin

Bourne Hall Country Hotel

"Absolutely amazing. Great hotel, rooms were really clean and well kept. The food was excellent. We went over the Easter holiday. I would highly recommend !!"

Villa Mentone Hotel Hotels in Shanklin

Villa Mentone Hotel

"The owner seemed really helpful and changed our ferry when we were delayed. The views from the property and location are great , reception also looks clean and modern. However once you climb the stairs the age shows, the carpet was loose on the stairs and in our opinion a trip hazzard, the handrail provides support, perhaps the stickiness of the handrail is helpful to some? The room was too small to fully open the bathroom door, the bathroom floor still had grouting all over if and felt unclean. The carpets generally felt unclean, perhaps because of their age. Upon arrival there was a banquet, we ordered drinks which were flat, after complaining we were offered alternatives for which they tried to over charge us. Our little girl had water and ice served in a dirty glass (it had lipstick marks on), we asked for a clean glass but were offered another dirty glass. When we pointed this out we were asked to select a clean glass – the ability to do so appeared beyond the staff member. There is a buffet breakfast, for us the cooked breakfast seemed to be dripping in fat, yoghurts are left out and not refrigerated, the toast was the best thing on offer, coffee is worth a miss. The owner said the breakfast was good value for money, if you are not fussed about quality, and just want quantity, then I see the point, but I can’t think of a worse breakfast I’ve had in the last 5 years. Before posting this we did mention concerns to the owner, we also reviewed the hotel review and pictures which we don’t believe are a true reflection of our stay. This hopefully will allow others to make a more informed decision regarding their stay."

"I'm so glad I booked The Royson for my recent Isle of Wight trip with my two young children. Nigel was very polite and welcoming. The hotel location is amazing, quiet, close to beach and convenience store. The room is not very spacious but it had everything we needed. The room and beds were clean (cleanliness was one of my biggest concerns!). The breakfast included was absolutely lovely which as a mum I was so relieved that everyone was happy and full to start the day!!!!!!!! my kids love the play area downstairs! I definitely recommend the Royson!"

Medehamstede Hotel ★★
"This was my second visit to the Medehamstede and the guys work so hard there they deserve a second review. James and the team can’t do enough to help you. On arrival Alison was there to welcome us and I had such a warm welcome I felt like I was home from home and she looked after me last year. This year the hotel has the lovely Charlotte behind the bar and she is amazing. The food is basic but there most definitely a choice at breakfast you just have to request it and it will be accommodated. Be prepared it is only a small team and sometimes you do have to wait when there is a large party like ours. As a solo traveler I always feel safe at the hotel and the transport link to the rest of the island is a short walk away. Entertainment was Jules (she is amazing) and Glen on the Friday. I will most certainly be back next year. A Special Shout out to James’s young lad who worked so hard carrying the luggage to the rooms looking very professional and polite."

Luccombe Hall Hotel ★★★
"Lovely hotel, friendly staff, perfectly situated close to the beach and the Old Village. A small amount of free parking on site. Very impressed with the facilities inside the hotel - including indoor swimming pool, hot tub & sauna. Be careful with your choice of room, by selecting a non-sea view, standard room for 2 x people we were allocated an accessible room right next to reception/main entrance on ground floor, which was really noisy, with very little privacy. Such a shame as the rest of our experience there was so good."

The Clifton ★★★★
"Once again, the Clifton hotel proved to be a home from home. During our stay the weather was somewhat changeable but still managed a restful morning sat enjoying the sun on our room’s balcony, enjoying the uninterrupted sea view. For other times, when the weather was a bit more inclement, the hotel is friendly and cosy and sitting in the lounge and snug bar was perfectly relaxing. Sadly, the wet weather meant we couldn’t sit in the beautiful garden this time but who cares when delicious light meals and homemade cakes are available inside? The town centre is an easy walk from the hotel, as is the seafront and beach, the clifftop walk passes right in front of the hotel and Shanklin Chine at the end of the road. Of course, being the Isle of Wight, there is a great choice of attractions within a short distance. Back at the hotel, breakfast is good, the rooms are consistently clean and the beds comfortable – it’s always a wrench to leave at the end of our stay! Looking forward to returning next year."

The Kenbury B&B ★★★★
"This was my first ever visit to the Isle of Wight so it took much research to find the ideal location to stay - this fitted the bill perfectly and I was not disappointed. I was greeted my Paul who was extremely helpful and told me everything I needed to know and suggested some places to visit. The room, despite being a 'small double' was actually a pretty good size and it suited me to a tee. The bed was comfortable and it had been a long time since I slept that well! The tea and coffee was very adequately stocked and there was also a fridge with fresh milk which was a great addition. Had a slight issue with the shower as the water pressure wasn't great but definitely did not detract from my overall experience. The breakfast was absolutely superb - there's a choice of a full English or you can choose one of the lighter options (there's a fantastic choice). You order your breakfast the day/night before using an order form - I experienced this elsewhere last year and I think it works very well. As well as the 'main' breakfast you also get a choice of cereal, fruit, yoghurt and toast as well as the usual tea and coffee - it was a superb choice and set up. The B&B is also superbly located - good for parking and just a 5 minute walk (if that) to the railway station. Also just a short 15 minute walk to the beach and amenities. Overall, I had a superb stay here and will definitely be back at some point!"
