The Caledonian Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in need of updating especially the room. Rooms were comfortable but could be cleaner. Beautiful grounds to walk round.

A nice hotel 10minutes walk from Sandown Beach. Staff were friendly and helpful. Quiet location, although if you are travelling by car do not use the postcode on your satnav as you’ll end up in a neighbours garden. Hotel is part of a coach holiday group and is very much geared to those visitors. Self service full English breakfast was ok, but we didn’t see fresh fruit or yogurt and the juice and cereals were limited and set apart from the main breakfast ingredients on the other side of the room. No fridge or safe in the room. Stayed Fri-Mon early October, so the hotel was quiet. I would imagine it would be a lot busier during the summer months.

the hotel is nicely placed near to Sandown Town centre and the beach. The hotel is large and is set in lovely grounds. Things that could be improved: - there was woodlice in our room, would be nice if these were eradicated - there is no footpath from the front of the hotel to the pavement outside the hotel. It means you have to walk along the access road to the hotel. Not nice with kids. - the breakfast is until 9am but by 845am was looking very tired. Would be good to have it properly refilled until 9am. - apart from the pool table there is nothing for children to do, this hotel is very much aimed at the retired short-break community. Overall the hotel was ok and served its purpose plus has red squirrels outside!

The hotel is a lovely old Victorian building, the gardens could do with a tidy up especially round the back of the property where there are tables and chairs, the chairs are very old and need replacing Inside the room there is a soap dispenser in the bath but it’s positioned where it’s in the way when your having a shower, I cut my arm and drew blood on the very sharp edges The Bed sheets smelt musty Apart from that we had a nice one night stay, with ample car parking which is often a problem in some hotels Nice restaurant with a good buffet breakfast

We had a 1 night stay at this hotel as a family of 4 adults. It was quite a convenient stay. The rooms were clean and tidy. The staff was very friendly. There were quite a number of shops nearby and it was a short walk to the beach and the promenade along it where we could find a good restaurant for our dinner too.

Loved the old fashioned feel to the building, the grounds are lovely, its next to a small park area, which I found great for a little 4 mile run! Hotel is 5 mins walk from the seafront and a few minutes from nearest train station.
