Awesome hotel clearly in need of renovations but we loved the view and it suited our purpose for the price. The waiter at breakfast and hotel receptionist were friendly and welcoming. Check in and parking no problem.

We had a good stay! (4 nights)

On the whole defo 5*! Great location and views. Very friendly staff. Has Indoor swimming pool and we had Breakfast included. Has a bar / lounge area and a welcome feel. Will mention rooms and hotel are a bit dated and onsite parking but limited. But I don’t think they pretend to be a modern hotel.

Lovely holiday!

Absolutely wonderful stay. Very clean room, just needed to request extra pillows, which were provided and made sleeping much easier. Quiet room, wonderful sounds of seagulls in the morning. A lovely view of the sea through one window! So pleasant, and a great location!

Only stayed the one night instead of two as work finished early. Hotel was nice and clean. Breakfast was a bit small but it done the hi.

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.

I was happy with all aspects, including great pool. Food and service good. One small niggle - only one very small shower gel for 2 nights. But, overall good and would come again

The hotel is in poor condition. The photos on the website are very misleading. The room had poor decor. Communal areas need updating and cleaning. However, staff were friendly and helpful.

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.

I paid for sea view room and I was accommodated in a small, dark room at the back of the hotel. The receptionist told me, that it happens and there is nothing to do about it.

Swimming pool looked lovely on photos but was filthy the place itself is being done up but the room was dirty with cockroach in the room
Michael, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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

Nice views n great location! Near to all amenities! Breakfast was amazing
Shweta, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.

Our experience

On arrival to the hotel it was a pretty foyer we were dealt with quickly but not personally ie how are you today how far have you come,our bedroom was dated but the veiws were amazing,we were half board food was above average and presentation was good service was good but no one really in charge of a young team so no consistency we were also segregated from the other guests which was very noticeable it was very apparent the the hotel has been take oven recently and there were different owns to parts of the business with in the hotel which didn't gel together for a full experience of been on holiday and being look after but they were very conscientious in there areas there was alot of work going on but it didn't interfere with us using all amenities and l believe it will be lovely when it is finished , on day of check out l request my breakfast early 8.am to enable me to make my travel home ,bus ferry,train but the reception could grant this and didn't seem to want to then on check out it was nonexistent just told to leave key on the desk ,so on whole there was so great thing but also something to think about l wish you great success
Alana, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

After spending one night at this hotel, I ended up with bright red itchy spots all over my body. I don’t know if it was bed bugs, but they definitely ate not mosquito bites. The room is incredibly outdated. The room door lock has paint chipping and peeling. There was a step into the bathroom, which looked quite bizarre. The bathroom floor was wallpapered and the wallpaper was starting to bubble up and peel off, it was also very creaky and made sounds with every movement. Parking was free but it was a nightmare. It took me at least 15 minutes to get out of my parking space. It was back and forth making tiny micro-adjustments until I was able to get out. The only perk to the hotel is the location, but there are plenty of other hotels located on the same road/a couple roads down.
1-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.
