We only stayed one night, which was all we would have managed on that particular bed. The hotel is in need of a makeover and believe it is under new management. It is clean and tidy though and the staff were great. The breakfast was very nice, cooked to order.

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.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A lovely view from the room and so convenient for the cliff lift to get down to the beach and beachfront entertainment and food. Upon check in we were greeted warmly. Strange that there were no lamps in the room when we entered but reception provided us with a lamp for each bedside table in a short time. Only 2 mugs provided for a 3 people stay and biscuits and toiletries were not topped up throughout our stay. However that said, the food at breakfast and for the evening meal was excellent. Good choices for both main and dessert. The seagulls were rather bold pinching food off the terrace table! Easy walk to catch bus to the needles and wildlife sanctuary. 10 minute walk to Shanklin chine.

Very bad condition of the room when we first walked in the room it was smelly ,very dirty carpets looked like it wasn’t cleaned for ages .the gallery needs a cleaning sticky everywhere bed needs to be changed as it makes noise every time you move , we stayed for 2 nights the next day I thought they will hoover the carpet but they didn’t even bother to change the bins and left the used towels for us to use again our breakfast was included the staff didn’t even smile at all we greeted the lady with good morning she just turned around and walked away which was really rude we felt like they were only talking to people nicely who they felt like to the staff needs more training and the building and the rooms need renovations

Stuart

Disliked: Amenities
Awful. Paid £340 for two nights. Business clearly has no money. We were the only guests there! Pool closed, no sunloungers, no toiletries in bathroom, sweltering hot room - no fans. Mentioned to the owner about being disappointed the pool was closed and he pointed at the sea and joked “there’s your pool” Left a day early and expected (at the very least) two breakfasts and two dinners that we’d paid for to be refunded but after chasing three times was just ignored. Only redeeming factor was that the reception and restaurant staff were very nice.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I have never been to such a horrible room. The old, damp, torn carpet and the furniture—oh my god—look like they were collected from a street dump. The hotel needs serious renovation; it’s not good value for money for a room to stay in. Breakfast felt like a queue for some charity food supply, with very limited time. Flies around and dirty plates. We felt so sophisticated inside room have to sleep opening balcony door in fear. Staffs are helpful, they gave their best to make us happy but property they can’t do anything unless maintained and provided quality fixtures fittings. I believe because of staffs efforts this property is holding its strength otherwise it would have been grounded. My wife was very upset I chose this property from Expedia looking at photos which are different from reality.

Very disappointed, I feel the issue is with Expedia and the way the room is sold, I booked a twin room that sleeps 3, the picture of this room "Standard Twin room" stated it slept 3 people and showed a sea view, when my wife and I arrived at the hotel to check in we were given room 126A which was an awful room, 2 single beds, definitely could not sleep 3 and was nothing more than a box room. nowhere near what the photo of the room portrayed. The picture supplied is of the room we upgraded to at an extra cost to me, we were told it was a triple view room, but wasn't made up, so I had to ask for new towels, mugs and bed linen, as the old bed linen from the previous occupants was still on the beds. The reason for wanting a twin room that slept 3 people, was for my wife who is recovering from major surgery.

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.
