Very friendly restaurant staff. Reception team efficient and very helpful. Asked us about a ramp for my son's wheelchair anytime we came in and out of the hotel. Afternoon tea was an excellent experience. Since covid this is the 1st place that did housekeeping which really made us feel we were on a holiday.

A two day break.
I booked late so the restaurant was fully booked but they made space for me in the conservatory. The staff could not be kinder or more helpful. The food is outstanding. I always look forward to returning.

Fabienne

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Avoid if you can
Avoid room 17 and presumably a few more rooms affected by the presence of the kitchen extractor fan just outside their windows. I didn't mind the pretty awful view on the back of the hotel but this extractor fan came on every morning at 7:00 and wasn't turned on until they had finished the dinner service at night. Not much chance to get any sleep when it's on. Very unsympathetic response when I asked to be moved, clearly used to people complaining and as they were apparently full nothing they could do. Overall the hotel looks tired and in need of a complete refit. Food was quite disappointing too, breakfast very average, dinner not up to much and service erratic. Shame that such a lovely building in such a nice setting is being let down by a lack of investment and uncaring staff. Not that many alternatives in Ventnor so I feel they're just not interested in trying any harder.

Royal in every way!
Old World Service! This hotel knows how to treat you. Nothing was too much to ask. Great location just up the hill from the beach. Food was amazing. And, when there was no taxi to take us to the train station, Steve, the night porter drove us! All the staff were over the top; Amanda and Janice at breakfast. Can’t say enough about the level of service! Our room was lovely with a comfy bed. Beautiful grounds. Wonderful piano player at dinner. Fun to lounge at the pool in the sun and order cocktails. We gushed over this place for days. It will be a special memory for a very long time. 10!

This has an old-world graciousness and courtesy which is sadly lacking in many facets of life in 21st century. The quiet, relaxing ambience, and the feeling that nothing is too much trouble is the strength of this lovely old hotel. Really excellent food. Superbly comfortable beds. Lovely sea views.

Probably the best service, I have had in this country and that comes from a former travelling salesman. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Lovely rooms. Fantastic breakfast. We also had lunch there and the food was lovely. The bar's a tad expensive. Will be going back.
