The Q Hotel ★★★
"The hotel is lovely, staff are friendly and helpful. The room we had needed to be updated really. It was very dark and the decor was dated. Bed was comfy."
Medehamstede Hotel ★★
"I came here with a coach trip, so many of us had to be accommodated at the same time but the small team at the hotel were prepared apart from at breakfast which was very slow. The hotel is dated and could do with a freshen up, it brought me back to the 80s. The staff work tirelessly between reception and the bar and will go out of their way for you. The entertainment was fun Fri-Sunday and got us up dancing especially Jules, who I loved. The hotel is located very close to all the amenities, which was fantastic. The thatched tea rooms highly recommend about 10 mins walk out to the left of the hotel. No lift if you have mobility problems so let the hotel know. Only thing I would suggest if keeping hairdryers in the rooms and toiletries such as shampoo and shower gel. Would I go back……. Absolutely yes, I had a great time"
Luccombe Manor Country House Hotel ★★★
"Superb! Breakfast is particularly good. The facilities are also great! There is a shared indoor swimming pool. Just by the sea, there is a place for children to play in the garden. The service is great and impressive! Suitable for family travel for a few days to relax. (The hotel will provide tickets for Shankline Chine, you don't need to buy tickets in advance after checking in.)"
The Queens Road Hotel
"You might have an idea of what to expect from a hotel stay: to be greeted at the front desk, to have a bar and a breakfast service on the premises, to stay in a room which is serviced with fresh towels and clean linen... There's none of that here. We stayed for a week and some days saw no staff (there's a webcam in reception). There were tea and coffee making facilities in our room when we arrived but this was never replenished, the towels were never changed, the bed was never changed; the curtain was hanging off the rail; the bar downstairs was never opened. The website claims that breakfast can be booked for £10 per person but good luck finding anyone to book it with. There are a number of very pleasant hotels along Queens Road but sadly this isn't one of them."
The Clifton ★★★★
"A well run beautifully clean and well located hotel. We stayed in room 16 with a beautiful view over Shanklin Bay. Everything about the hotel was great. Nice breakfast too. Lovely and quiet. Would highly recommend this hotel"
Luccombe Hall Hotel ★★★
"Good location, some staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely will come back."
The Fig Tree Shanklin ★★★★
"It is an amazing hotel with great location and view. I wish it was a bit cleaner; we found a big hair ball in bathroom and a tea stain in bedsheets. Other than that it was great and will come back"
Villa Mentone Hotel ★★★
"This is more like a 1* hostel than a hotel, Everything was terrible, we only stayed 2 of the 5 nights as was do bad. Room 1 - small double, was more like a prison cell, bedroom door was damaged, bathroom door only opened about 5 inches as bed blocked this, we struggled to get in and out without bashed yourself on the door. Once in the bathroom, if you sat on the loo, your face was in the sink. You couldn’t bend over to wash your face because there was no room between the door and the sink just ridiculous. Dirty and falling apart. Room 2- small double, again more like a cell, the smell of damp was overwhelming, after two days you could smell it on clothes, they need rewashing. There were people outside the window smoking on and off throughout the day and evening, Generally it felt very unsafe, dirty and un kept."
Ocean View Hotel ★★★
"Great hotel, very friendly and helpful staff."

Waterfront Inn
"Heavy delusion This hotel can boast an excellent location, in front of the beautiful English Channel sea, with the beach just across the street. It has a lovely patio with tables, where to rest and have food and drinks. The service is quite basic and informal: bare tables, no table cloths, self serving with cutlery, plastic glasses. Food is average, but enjoyable. The staff is very young, some of them kind and helpful, some others nearly bothered by the inconvenience And now, down to the substantial issues: the place is an absolute pigsty. We had two standard rooms, a double and a twin, very compact and basic, with not even a table and a chair. My room overstending the kitchen, with complementary smells and noises, my friend’s overlooking the wall of the mountain above head, which made the room as dark as being in a cave. The rooms are extremely run-down and poorly maintained. The furniture and décor are outdated, and it is evident that little or no maintenance have been carried out for many years. The walls and ceiling are as this as paper, so that you hear every noise from above and nearby rooms Yet, what was very upsetting (and disgusting) was the unacceptable state of cleanliness of both rooms and of the entire hotel. A noticeable build-up of dirt and grime everywhere, it is evident that the place, and the rooms, haven’t been deep-cleaned in years. The first day, the housekeeping was not performed, so I asked whether it was included in the rate. They told me that for reason of hygiene, they don’t do housekeeping after the check in, unless required by the guest. Although I don’t understand this reason, as a matter of fact, no one informed us about this rule at the check in. However, on the third day the housekeeping was provided, on my request. Which means that the staff put new towels, emptied the bins, put clean cups, but didn’t remove the used towels and shower mat (they were left on the bathroom floor as they were), they didn’t even remake the bed and apparently didn’t made up the room properly. Last but not least, that same evening of the third and our last day, no hot water came from either the shower or the tap. We informed the staff the following morning, but they didn’t bat an eyelid. I would have expected at least a little reduction of the rate, given the discomfort caused by that inconvenience . Overall a very negative experience. I definitely suggest avoiding this hotel. It is absolutely overpriced for the level of comfort and maintenance provided. There are many better places. It’s preferable to spend a little more and have a cosy place, than this dump."
Number 29 - Only Adults
"Can highly recommend this bed and breakfast. Christine is a lovely host, friendly and helpful. The room and en-suite was nicely furnished, very clean. Tea and coffee making facilities with a small fridge and on arrival 2 pieces of homemade cake, a lovely touch. The breakfast choice was extensive and all beautifully cooked and presented. The homemade bread was a bonus ! Well situated for short walk to beach or town. Highly recommend. Thank you Ian and Shelagh"
The Snowdon House
"Had a lovely stay with friends at the Snowdon for a short break. The rooms were very comfortable, clean and spacious with a comfy bed. Breakfast was cooked fresh to order each morning with lots of choice on the menu. Excellent Eggs perfectly done with the full English. The hotel is very near to the cliff top path with great view of beach below and easy access to the lift if you don’t want to walk. Sally & Mike are full of information about the island and places to visit if you ask and there are lots of information leaflets if you need inspiration. We went to Osborne house which was a great day and interesting then relaxed with a meal overlooking Shanklin beach . Thank you for a smashing stay."
The Havelock
"We were so pleased with our stay at this hotel, for several reasons, it was spotlessly clean, comfortable especially the bed and in a great location in between the town which has some nice restaurants and the beach lift which takes you down to a nice beach and a few more restaurants and cafes, also near a theater with some decent acts appearing. Vicky and Paul were such lovely hosts, very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The outdoor pool came in handy as the weather was good and the pool temperature was perfect. There is onsite parking at the front and back of the hotel. So, all in all from us it was a 10/10."
Luccombe Villa Holiday Apartments
"another amazing stay! this is our third year returning to stay for the IOW festival and Chris and Kate couldn’t be more accommodating, loveliest hosts ever!! the apartments are clean, spacious and have everything you could need. The Pool has recently been redone and is lovely and warm and looks stunning!! thank you once again Chris and Kate, see you next year! 🫶✨"
Bourne Hall Country Hotel
"Family of 4. Two older children. We had such a great experience at this hotel. It’s lovely. The staff is their biggest asset. Helpful, friendly and welcoming. They took a really friendly approach, chatted to us and were so helpful and responsive when needed. The hotel is not fancy but it’s nice. It’s clean. It’s comfortable. The breakfast is good. Would return"
Westbury Lodge
"This was our second visit to Westbury Lodge B&B, Shanklin. Isle of Wight. We travelled as foot passengers on the ferry from Portsmouth to Ryde Pier Head, then caught the train to Shanklin which takes about half an hour. Westbury Lodge is about a fifteen minute walk from the station. Upon arrival we were met by hosts David & Rosemary, shown our room and then had tea and coffee in the guest lounge. We stayed in room 2 on the ground floor for the second time, which is a thumbs up to the room itself. Breakfasts were excellent, plenty of everything. During our stay we walked along the esplanade to Sandown to the north and Ventnor and Steephill Cove to the south, where they sell crab pasties in the Crab Shed. An excellent find. Another walk later in the week was along the old railway line into Wroxall. The bus service is very good and you can get anywhere on the island without using a car. There are plenty of places to eat in Shanklin and Ventnor and you are spoilt for choice, one place in particular is the Ventnor Kitchen Bistro, for something a bit different. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Westbury Lodge and will return. Terry & Linda"
Braemar
"Had a great stay at The Braemar and now totally converted to the B&B way having been an avid camper for years! Claire & Boz are warm and welcoming as is the B&B itself - spotlessly clean, comfortable and ideally situated in the picturesque Shanklin Old Village."
The Ryedale
"This was a 2-night stay for work. Good communication with John before arrival. Provided with a paid parking ticket for the railway station car park (less than 5 minute walk) on arrival. I had a room 3 facing the garden, great room, comfortable bed, good ensuite, good TV and WiFi. Breakfast is included in the price, but due to my work commitments I had to leave before the timed start of breakfast of 8:15am. I was provided with Bacon sandwich and bottle of water for me leaving each morning at 7:30am - this is great customer service! Places to eat and take away within walking distance. Allowed to use the dining room if bringing food back - which was way nicer than eating in the bedroom."
The Richmond Bed and Breakfast - Adults Only
"Thank you Mark and Caz for a lovely stay. Everything was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Lovely hosts and we were made so welcome. A super breakfast which set us up for the day. Will definitely stay again if we visit this beautiful Island.Thank you both Richard & Lorna."
