Shanklin Beach Hotel

Excellent location right on the seafront

Expecting on suite bathroom on arrival, wasn't expecting a wash basin in bedroom and a shower and toilet hardly big enough to move around inside. I would also suggest screens on balcony between rooms for better privacy.

This hotel was chosen for the location, which was right on the beach and next to Shanklin Chine. We did love how close the old town was.

The guttering outside the window was broken, so when it rained heavily throughout the night, the water was bashing against the glass, keeping us up, and we weren't able to open the window for fresh air because of this. One member of staff was really rude to an OAP who was clearly distressed about phone service, and the employee just said to her, "I can't move the cliff for you." Which I found disrespectful, as all she asked was where she could get better service. The hotel was very run down and could do with a spruce up. Even though we enjoyed our stay, I don't think it was worth the £420 we had paid.

It’s right on the beach front, and it’s very cheap and ideal for a cheap get-away-from it all for a few days.

There was a low level humming noise of an extractor fan or something all night long which was a bit annoying.

Staff were amazing and the room was clean with a balcony facing the sea. Great view.

Would love to see Fresh Juices not concentrate! Thats just my thing.

It’s in a great location. Good for solo travelers who don’t bother much about facilities and keep it minimal. Very friendly, well spoken & helpful staff. I met Nathan during check in and another gentleman in the morning both were super helpful.

Wouldve loved to have ironing facility

The location, the lovely staff, who were so helpful.

The lack of an opening window, so I had to leave my door open at night, onto the shared balcony!

Very close to the beach

View from our room was … nowhere. It was inside small yard, with no breeze at all

Like? You mean what was there to like! We booked two nights at this hotel and we won't be back. We tried to have supper at their hotel restaurant and were turned away because we were not part of the coach tours they cater to. There were only the three of us and yet they would not allow us to use the restaurant because they had a coach tour booked. The restaurant was HUGE!!! They had tables ... but turned us away. By this time all the restaurants along the sea front were closed. I am in a wheelchair and not being familiar with the place, did not feel like wheeling myself into town or hiring an expensive taxi to drive me around to find a place, so that night we had tea and a couple of dry biscuits for supper. The restaurant REFUSED TO ADMIT US even after explaining our circumstances and REFUSED TO PROVIDE A MEAL for us to take to our rooms. When we were getting ready for bed I turned down the bed duvet only to find a LARGE toe nail clipping on the bed sheet by my pillow. Two more toe nail clippings were on the floor by the bed. No use mentioning it to reception because NO ONE WAS THERE!!!

As mentioned, I did not like the toe nail clippings in the bed and on the floor. I did not like being refused entry to the restaurant because coach tour guests were considered premium customers and I did not like being told I could not even order a meal to take up to the rooms. The hotel is NOT WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE.

The chap on the desk was great, very helpful and accommodating. the location was very good on the seafront. Nice cafes & restaurants nearby.

The hotel has seen better days. Parking was very limited and the rear car park is untidy & unkept. The room was very basic with poor decor & facilities, not ideal for a romantic weekend away. But ok if other places are booked up. I probably wouldn’t go back.

Great location, nice staff,

The single bed in the room was very soft/basic for an adult.

LocationVery friendly staffCleaning staff very friendlyClean bedding, overall the room was cleanRoom with balcony available for an additional charge

Uncomfortable mattresses, Rooms need renovation, dirty carpets.

The staff is really nice and helpful, The hotel is clean and the location is good.

Excellent location, friendly & helpful staff. Parking available.

The decor and carpet in the corridors is a bit tired.

Great location

The hotel is dated, there was nobody at the reception when attempting to check in. To have heavy loud sound music from 8:30pm. The checkout time was 10am however housekeeping was coming around at 8:45am to clean the room before we checked out. The beds were not comfortable and the bedrooms need some painting done. The bed light lamps did not work and half the channels on the tv did not work

Breakfast was good but didn't realize it was included

Room was really small but the balcony was a plus

Breakfast was OK but only had once during stay

There was no yoghurt

Nothing if I’m honest I’ve had a better night sleep in a jungle in Brunei then I’ve had in this hotel felt very unwelcome. Staff were very full of attitude dismissive

The property was poorly maintained. The bath panel was half hanging off. The fixings in the bathroom were loose shower curtain filthy. The carpet was stained broken lampshade and just shoddy all round I would rather have slept in a tent. I would’ve had a better view looking at a brick wall overlooking a roof was clearly not a sea view as per in description of room the rooms looked nothing like in the pictures.

Really close to the beach and the Chine. Friendly and helpful staff.

The property was as expected, although it would benefit from a little paint on the walls and at least covering of the old water stains on the ceiling. Due to a popular location, price is somewhat justified, but as far as the cleanliness of the room and look and feel of furniture and equipment, it is nowhere near travelodge, which is supposed to be below in rating. The corridors are really noisy at night. You could almost hear every step.

Location is so beautiful, but parking space wasn't up to the standard.

Beds and mattresses were horrible, woke up with stiff back. ?. Very annoying
