Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a mixed experience where the room had a dirty carpet but featured a comfy big bed with a beautiful view of the Isle of Wight. Although there were no fans available, the service was particularly helpful with a smile. The location, in the atrium area, provided some shelter from the wind, and the dining experience included some nice wine. The facilities were decent overall.
The hotel offers rooms with a beautiful view of the Isle of Wight and comfy big beds. The service was fantastic despite the 'skeleton staff,' and the location on a 200ft wide concrete island in the Solent in 30c British summer was unique. The dining experience included some nice wine and had a good value for money. However, the rooms lack atmosphere, and the facilities are not top-notch.
The hotel had a room with a very comfy big bed and a beautiful view of the Isle of Wight, creating a really relaxing feel. However, there was no atmosphere whatsoever, and the room was not cleaned, leaving a dirty carpet in the bedroom and dirty bathroom.
I stayed at this hotel with a very comfy big bed and a beautiful view of the Isle of Wight. The lack of atmosphere was a downside, but the overall relaxing feel was great despite the room not being cleaned, leaving a dirty carpet and bathroom.
The hotel offers a beautiful view of the Isle of Wight from a very comfy big bed in the room. The fixtures and fittings enhance the bedroom experience, though cleanliness can be improved in both the bedroom and bathroom. The 'skeleton staff' aboard the hotel provided particularly helpful service with a smile. The location, although sheltered and convenient, could have better accessibility to facilities. The dining experience, despite some nice wine, could use improvement. Overall, the facilities offered are satisfactory.
