Hotels near Isle of Wight Steam Railway

"Taking account of the fact our stay was a budget stay, I felt we received value for money for many reasons. Location was central, not far from town centre. On the arrival day, we arrived lots of delays as missed a coach and had to find another way to get into the island. Even though we got to the hotel much later than planned, we were enabled to be shown our room . The bedroom was on the ground floor, as I'd requested on my booking form, even thought it was a late booking. The bedroom was a little tired, but clean and warm so acceptable. Location was central and had our arrival gone to plan, and it's only the fact that our plans were altered, which isn't anyone's fault and they were a helpful with our issues when our problems were communicated earlier in the day. Can't expect more than that. Breakfast was very good. Fresh and tasty and efficient. We were using public transport but understand there was free parking, just can't comment on that."

"I particularly liked the location of the hotel which is near the pierhead the trains and the bus terminus There is a good restaurant and bar The armchairs in the lounge could go with replacing but if you like Victorian hotels you will like this"

"Stayed a couple of nights for a cycling weekend, nice en suite room with tea and coffee, comfortable bed, good English breakfast. Excellent value for money. "

"The location and standard of the hotel was great, and the scaffolders turned up at 6am, end of sleep"

"Entertaining stay! The hotel itself is really nice, it's very clean and tidy throughout, which is so important to me personally. My room was roomy and had all that I required for a one night stay, even longer would have been fine also. the bathroom while a mixture of modern and old fashioned, again was fine for my stay, it had a lovely walking show fitted with a rain head, which was all very nice, toilet & sink though were a horrid pink, bit functional, although the cold tap had to be turned in the wrong directionion to make it work, which is like to see replaced with a new set, so they worked as expected. Breakfast was excellent, the quality of the produce used was excellent and this alone would make me return for another stopover, which I shall. My only criticism is that the fire alarm went off just after midnight, which turned into a right nightmare, as there was noone on site form the hotel itself, so 4 of us were left to try and resolve the problem, which resulted in the fire brigade having to attend and reassure us that we could rest easy for the rest of the night, what a bloody pain that was in the early hours. "

"Dirty bathroom, tired facilities, heinously overpriced. Expected a real luxury treat for my wife's 50th, got a Premier Inn with a Spa bolted on and a dried up lake bed."

"The breakfast is amazing ! Delicious full English breakfast with croissant and juice. We enjoyed it very much. It was quiet as there are only 5 accommodation rooms above the restaurant. "

"Hotel is tired and in need of big investment. The downstairs bar and reception area is good and has been renovated. Restaurant room is only open Fri/Sat/Sun so other days any food is only served in bar area. Breakfast is served in restaurant and is good. The first floor hallway was being painted so dust sheets etc around. Our room Number 12 was a Superior class which had recently been redecorated and re upholstered. New curtains and large lamps. Nice layout with double aspect, large sleigh style bed, an ottoman, two seat sofa and large arm chair, also desk and chair. Kettle etc provided but no biscuits or hot chocolate. Sachets of milk and minimum amount of beverages. Bathroom was large with P shaped bath and shower, newly tiled walls. Basic hand and shower products. The plumbing was difficult! toilet flush difficult to press buttons in and flush not strong. Warnings on taps saying water may be hot. That actually means sometimes it will be hot, other times lukewarm or cold. Water temperature flowed in waves with separate delivery of cold warm and yes, hot but didn’t mix properly. The shower was better at mixing. We used the bath but only got low temp warm water. Next morning housekeeping did not clean it. Shower head needed descaling too. Chrome in bathroom had not been replaced and now didn’t shine or was rusting. All windows were old wooden sash style which were draughty and let in noise from road outside. Music from bar could be heard until about 11 pm"

"Excellent small cottage on a quiet area close to the beach. The host was very kind and organised. Lovely details left for us in the house too, which we appreciated. Everything was very clean and bed super comfy. Would definitely recommend! Thank you"
