Margaret, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pleasant, convenient and very friendly hotel with great staff. Very nice breakfast and evening meals. We had a very nice sea facing room with a good bed. Handy for the sea front and Shanklin.

Awesome hotel clearly in need of renovations but we loved the view and it suited our purpose for the price. The waiter at breakfast and hotel receptionist were friendly and welcoming. Check in and parking no problem.

Bimal, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a good stay! (4 nights)

On the whole defo 5*! Great location and views. Very friendly staff. Has Indoor swimming pool and we had Breakfast included. Has a bar / lounge area and a welcome feel. Will mention rooms and hotel are a bit dated and onsite parking but limited. But I don’t think they pretend to be a modern hotel.
Phil, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely holiday!

Absolutely wonderful stay. Very clean room, just needed to request extra pillows, which were provided and made sleeping much easier. Quiet room, wonderful sounds of seagulls in the morning. A lovely view of the sea through one window! So pleasant, and a great location!

Cathleen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed here for a night booked online really late at night and was greeted at reception by a very pleasant and helpful young lad whose manners and customer service were second to none (very good), the hotel lobby, hallways and room is exceptionally clean to a high standard and the room was to a high standard. Will be coming back for a longer stay next time and would certainly recommend to friends and family or people in general 👍

We only stayed one night, which was all we would have managed on that particular bed. The hotel is in need of a makeover and believe it is under new management. It is clean and tidy though and the staff were great. The breakfast was very nice, cooked to order.

8/10 Very good

I was happy with all aspects, including great pool. Food and service good. One small niggle - only one very small shower gel for 2 nights. But, overall good and would come again
Richard, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Loved the sea view, but not a lot of parking spaces. Witnessed traffic wardens checking cars in surrounding streets at 22.30 hrs, so be careful!
Andrew, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Bathroom smelt of vape. Shower a little out dated and slow. Breakfast was good though. Staff were friendly.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Ocean View's strongest features is its location, high above the beach but close to the lift. The downside is that it primarily caters to tour groups, leaving the solo traveler a bit confused at times.

Great staff, great location great views

4/10 Fair

The hotel is in poor condition. The photos on the website are very misleading. The room had poor decor. Communal areas need updating and cleaning. However, staff were friendly and helpful.
