“What this hotel lacks in modernity, it more than makes up for with its stellar location near Shanklin beach and exceptionally friendly staff. Breakfast is satisfying, and while rooms can be on the smaller side, they are clean and well-equipped; plus, many offer delightful views. For travelers seeking a welcoming and convenient base in Shanklin, it's a solid choice.”

A pleasant seaside stay!

superb breakfastfriendly staffnoisy fan
I enjoyed a superb breakfast, it had a good variety. The location was also great, near many attractions. I found the staff very friendly and nothing seemed too much trouble for them. The room was very clean also.
The room was too hot during the night. I found it very difficult to sleep. The kitchen extractor fan made a lot of noise at 7.15 am. A smell of grease came up into the open window.
