The bedroom was tired, dated and unclean with stains on the carpet and dust on the shelves. The shower curtain was dirty and the bath mat disgusting. However the bed was comfortable and tea and coffee facilities were good. The balcony, i am not sure was particularly safe.

This hotel was exactly what we wanted - QUIET!!! The windows were open at night and all we heard were the waves and the birds. I never sleep through the night, but the time we were here - I slept straight through every night!! Amazing! Staff were brilliant and helpful and your restaurant staff treated us like family. Highly recommend your hotel.

The Sea room and balcony were excellent! Well worth the extra money. Checked in on Monday morning quite early, the female Receptionist managed to” chase up” our room and we booked in. Logan in the Restaurant I would. consider an Asset, our meal booking form was misplaced and he simply sorted it with a cheerful smile.Afternoons spent on the balcony!glass of wine, will book again and recommend to others.

Except for the location of the hotel, nothing is good about it. Rude front office, smelly rooms, poor food (checked later that the hotel was given 1 star rating a couple of years back), very limited parking and amenities. Terrible experience

Has pros & cons, but would consider staying again
Bed linens and towels were fresh, clean, and comfy. However, the shower had hairs in it, and there were two dropped pens on the floor under the desk - suggesting that it doesn't get cleaned thoroughly... The bathroom was good but bedroom fixtures could use updating. Staff were wonderful, location is great. I guess you get what you pay for, it was cheaper than most other places, overall was good and would consider staying again.

Unfortunately for Ocean View, we are well travelled and had just spent an amazing couple of days at the similarly starred/priced Luccombe Hall. What a contrast. OV's reception of us when we arrived early was disastrous (unprecedented for both me and my wife). The hotel is extremely tired, albeit freshly painted and generally clean. The breakfast was fine, being average. The indoor pool is very good and there is a decent ping pong table and small table football (and indoor bowls which we didn't visit). The view from our sea view room was half of the side of other rooms and overlooked the roof of the pool. The owner told us that "most hotels* do not allow food in rooms" and confiscated our pizza, giving it back to us the next day from the fridge. Repeat, our food was confiscated by the owner because hotels generally*, and OV in particular, don't allow food in rooms. *I wonder if room service ever existed anywhere, for example... On the one hand places like OV shoukd be downgraded to 2 star, but this woukd likely ruin them. On the other, they do service a market of less discerning and older coach parties, and probably quite well, so presumably is important for Shanklin. However, for most well travelled people in the mid-market, this is far from a 3 star experience.

Very friendly staff and great location. Best rooms balcony seaview. The hotel has a good facilities but it is dated. A bit more maitenance and tidying up would make it an excellent hotel. We didn't have the evening meal but the breakfast, full English was good apart from the sausages and scrambled eggs! We would return.

This hotel is a very big hotel with dated bedroom furniture and bathrooms, the beds aren’t the most comfy ! The hotel smells damp but if you are lucky the view from our room was amazing facing the sea , breakfast wasn’t the best cooked breakfast but they had said they were short staffed and had a few coach parties in ! Certainly not worth £166 per room per night ,that was paid !

We stayed at the hotel for a week. The breakfast is served by a member of staff, who takes your order. You need to request extra toast, etc, or you will only receive 1/2 a slice of toast with your meal. The hotel doesn't do lunch, as they cater for coach loads of people, who are out during the day. If you wish to eat an evening meal at the hotel, it needs to ordered at breakfast from a limited menu. The evening meal is not good value. Our hotel room was serviceable, but has not been updated since the 1970's. The hotel is been modernised, and there are room that look lovely, however ours was very dated. The staff were all very helpful and polite. The location of the hotel is fabulous, with sea views from our balcony. There is a lift to take you down to the sea front, with good restaurants. The main town / old town / station and Shanklin Chine are all within 10 minutes walk, so a car is not needed.

The brilliant staff make this place.
I stayed here last minute as my family were visiting IOW. I am disabled but travel by motorcycle and hobble about with a stick. Sarah the reception lady who is wonderful arranged for me to park my motorcycle on the terrace via the disability ramp so it was dry and out of the main car park. I could even keep an eye on it from my room if needed. The hotel is a little tired in places but this is more than made up for by the wonderful staff. My room and bathroom were really nice, spacious and clean. I would definitely stay here again, in fact it would be my first choice on the IOW simply because of my parking arrangements and the fantastic staff who made my stay brilliant.

Lovely reception staff. Rooms in need of modernising. Eg windows need replacing, squeaky floorboards, door not fitting properly so light comes in at night & generally need updating. They were at least clean. Great location with lift to seafront opposite. Bar too expensive to try. Breakfast okay, bit more variety required
