Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally situated by the sea and offers a relaxing ambiance, but the service could be more attentive. The rooms are comfortable with balconies for a pleasant stay. The dining experience provides fresh organic products, though the lack of knowledge in service is apparent.
The hotel is perfectly situated right by the sea and close to the old town, offering a mix of convenience and charm. The rooms are cozy and equipped with small twin beds, a bigger fan, a bath, and a lovely balcony, providing a relaxing stay. However, some upgrades could enhance the overall room experience. The service, though lacking in deep customer service knowledge, still manages to be satisfactory. The location is a definite highlight with easy access to the coast and the bustling Shanklin shops. Dining options are varied, including a make-your-own pancake machine, adding a fun touch to meals. On the downside, some improvements in the facilities could elevate the guest experience. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few areas for enhancement.
This hotel is a hidden gem, offering a peaceful stay in a convenient location close to the sea and with a charming lift to the beach. The rooms are cozy and some offer lovely balconies, perfect for relaxation. While the service lacks a bit in terms of true customer care, the pet amenities available are a nice touch. The dining experience is delightful, especially with the delicious fruit preserves served. Overall, a decent value for a tranquil beach getaway.
