Thomas, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A perfect little place by the sea! The room was clean and cute and the beds very comfortable. Loved to wake up in the morning and sit on the balcony, also slept the windows open to hear the sea. The restaurant downstairs closes at 10pm but there was no disturbance whatsoever even on the weekend, you could hardly even hear it to the room. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, they also got us a table in the restaurant even when there was a line outside. The restaurant also had very good vegan options, so we didn't even need to go find a place to eat in the evenings. Loved having breakfast before the restaurant opened, watching the sea in the homely atmosphere. Will definitely book again!

A welcoming Shanklin hotel in a great location.

When we arrived we were made to feel very welcome and all information was well explained. We found all the staff very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The food was excellent and very plentiful. There were a nice selection of real ales at the bar. Nice sea views from the room.

Quality accommodation and great experience.

Lovely place to stay. Room was spotless and comfy. Bed very comfortable. Had a balcony which overlooked the Esplanade which was nice. Breakfast and meals were excellent quality and had breakfast overlooking the beach. Staff were very friendly and helpful. A lovely break away, would recommend and visit again.

A real Gem.

Off season visit but the Steamer was really cosy. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was immaculately clean and the view over the bay fabulous. A real gem and will definitely be back

Lovely romantic break

Location perfect with stunning sea views. Staff really helpful and friendly. Food very good. Very good value for money. Only criticism would be that the rooms are a bit dated. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel and we will be staying here again in the future.

Excellent stay with good food

Lovely seafront pub with rooms above. Very popular for meals which are excellent with a big choice at reasonable prices. Rooms not spacious but comfortable and clean. Excellent balcony overlooking the sea in some rooms. Staff efficient and very friendly. Live music at weekends but not overly noisy. a bit of a walk to the old or new town but there is a cliff lift to help. Would definitely stay again.

We had a lovely short break at The Steamer for the second time. The room was a good size with a great sea view. Breakfast was served in the bar area and was plentiful and very tasty. We ate in the bar every night as the food was delicious and we didn't see any reason to venture further for food.

Room With A View - Welcoming Staff

Welcoming, hard working and professional staff. W enjoyed a sea view room with a balcony. We were able to check in early and shown to the room. Local maps, guides and bus time tables were available. The bathroom was tiled top to toe and the shower excellent. This is a good pub with accommodation above and good pub food. It is not The Ritz, nor does it pretend to be and offers a great location and reasonable prices. The breakfast was substantial, although we would have preferred a few lighter offerings such as yoghurt and fruit and/or cereals, but that is just our personal taste. Booking on the Hotels.Com site was a little confusing. The booking form had an Amex symbol and accepted the transaction. We then got a bounce back saying the payment had failed. On checking, they do not accept Amex. Not a problem, but it would have been nice to have been told this up front, so we could have used another card straight away. Maybe Hotels.Com could amend this.

Fantastic view from our room and the terraces, easy to walk to Shanklin or Sandown or use the buses. Its about time the woodchip was removed and the carpet replaced in the bedroom, but it was otherwise great as was the bathroom. Balcony had great sea view. Food in restaurant was consistently good.

Good friendly accommodation.

The Steamer was good accommodation, clean, tidy and good location. Parking is a bit of a chore but close.
Andrew, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

First time in Isle of Wight. 3 day stay in The Steamer Inn with my twin sister. The sea view twin room with balcony was very good for what we needed and was clean and presentable. Breakfast was good with waitress service. Staff very friendly and accommodating to our needs. Restaurant very popular throughout the day and night and the meals we had were very good with fresh ingredients and a variety of choices. Ideal location for direct access to the beach. Lift or shuttle bus to Shanklin town and local attractions if you don’t fancy the steep walk. With regular buses to other parts of island too. Overall a very enjoyable stay at The Steamer Inn.
Joanne, 3-night trip

Chilled out, comfortable stay in a great location

I was made to feel very comfortable as a lady solo traveller, everyone was very friendly especially the lady that served the breakfast. The food was amazing and being seated in a nice little table in the corner was perfect for me and I didn't feel isolated.... thank you so much. The view was amazing from the balcony and so nice to hear the waves whilst in bed. Will definitely be back, great stay!!
Teresa, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect location looking across the Esplanade to the sea front. Excellent food served all day in a relaxed atmosphere by attentive staff. This great venue attracted a lot on non-resident customers and there was a real buzz as guests enjoyed their relaxed meal eating great food and enjoying a wide variety from the bar.. As residents we were recognised and welcomed and felt very looked after. This was a great base to explore the Island from,
