Great find!
Great find! Only a minute from the train and bus stations. Easy check-in. We had a triple room which was very spacious and not at all cramped. Comfortable bed. Nice soft large towels! Well stocked tea tray. Large bathroom with bath and shower. Breakfast included, freshly cooked with help yourself cold selection.

Great little hotel in a perfect location, 5-10 mins from the dockyard, Spinnaker tower and Guildhall (we attended a concert there). Staff were friendly, room clean and comfortable (a bit too hot, but they have air con) and good shower. Parking next door in the hotel carpark is another plus. And a decent breakfast too, very happy with our stay.

This was a clean and convenient hotel with excellent front desk help. You can't beat it for us close proximity to the IOW ferry, train and busses. I will stay here again on my next trip to the Isle of Wight.

Lovely hotel
So glad I booked this hotel. Staff very friendly and efficient. Room was lovely and we had a sea view. The bed was very comfortable and the room/bathroom were warm even though the radiators weren't turned on. The hotel wasn't noisy but there were roadworks right outside our room but that was only an issue during the day. Good location with train station across the road plus a shopping centre with an amazing cinema. Breakfast was good and we had a fabulous meal in the restaurant on our last night. We would definitely stay there again. The only small gripe is that there were 3 plug sockets next to the single bed but none by the double.

What a beautifully restored and convenient hotel to stay at, we crossed the street from the train station and they had a lift. We had a delicious dinner at the captain’s table. Great selection of wines.
