Shanklin Beach Hotel in Isle of Wight

WENT TO THE SHANKLIN BEACH HOTEL FOR A 5 DAY BREAK WITH CALADONIAN TRAVEL FROM SCOTLAND, THIRTEEN AND A HALF HOUR JOURNEY. HOTEL WAS NICE AND FOOD WAS GOOD, HOTEL STAFF ALL VERY NICE AND HELPFUL. UNFORTUNATELY WOULD NOT RETURN, NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HOTEL, BUT THE LENGTH OF TIME IT TOOK TO GET THERE AND BACK HOME. WOULD AVOID GOING IN THE MONTH OF MARCH AS NEARLY EVERYTHING WAS CLOSED AS SEEMINGLY THE SEASON DOES NOT START UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF APRIL

What a lovely hotel! We have just returned from a 5 day Caledonian coach trip and enjoyed the whole experience. We were allocated a twin room on the first floor with a view over the beach and English Channel from our large balcony. Room was spacious, spotlessly clean with very comfortable beds. The room was serviced every day by a 4 strong team of chambermaids -excellent. Breakfast & evening meals were waiter service and Marc, Philip & Raymond looked after us very well. Our trip included a drinks package of 4 free drinks per person per day and was a great saving. Sy behind the bar was very friendly & helpful. Nightly entertainment was very good also. A very enjoyable stay. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Room was alright, however awful food (cold and not as described on the menu) and mediocre service, small menu and half of the options weren’t available on an evening.

Week holiday, staff very friendly, food reasonable, very clean, room had balcony plus Seaview. Would definetly recommend.

Stayed here on a coach holiday for 5 days February 2024. Was sceptical after reading some reviews but was pleasantly surprised had a sea view and it was lovely to see the sun rise in a morning,the room was large,the bed was comfy with good quality bedding,everything was very clean and housekeeping came every day,Breakfast was served on the dot at 8 and there was everything you could want,a choice of 3 things for each dinner course all very nice,there's a bar which has a happy hour and a lift if needed, hair dryers are available,if I was being picky the only thing would be there wasn't a mirror near a socket but there was in other rooms,Windows are double glazed so no noise,overall very pleased with hotel and lovely staff

5 day stay and had a brilliant time. Room had seaview, balcony, tea, coffee, plenty of room, hanging space, comfy beds and most of all really clean. Food in the restaurant you could not fault in anyway, plenty of choice and the staff were so helpful and nice. Really good value for money. All round brilliant holiday thank you.

Writing this review on behalf of my in-laws. What an awful experience. We went on a coach trip with Caledonian travel. The travel staff were great but the hotel was terrible. We were in Room 125 - very poor condition, dirty bathroom (mould in shower), thermostat was broken on radiator and room was red hot. The food was disgusting, verging on inedible. Extremely poor quality, always cold, bad cooking. Every meal was terrible. Even the toast for breakfast was burnt. Caledonian are really letting their customers down putting them in this hotel. We wouldn’t come back here if we were paid. I’d recommend avoiding!

Went for Christmas as part of a super deal with Caledonian Travel. Good parts. Staff excellent. Couldn’t do enough for you. Room was clean. No mould in The bathroom though the shower head was hanging by a thread. Bad parts. Check in was a shambles, though close to 90 people turned up at the same time and there was only ONE member of staff to check us all in. The food….the least said the better. It was under or over cooked. The Christmas dinner was half cooked and far too much of it. It seemed penny pinching on food the rest of the week and they threw the food at you on Christmas Day. There was a huge amount that was sent back. There was however mulled wine and ONE mince pie to compensate you. It all seemed such a stingy set up. If I had paid full price for this holiday I would have furious at the level of catering. As it is I won’t be visiting the Shanklin Beach hotel again.

We recently hired out the function room for a 7th birthday party. From making the booking via one of the duty managers (Alex) to the day, the staff where helpful and attentive, nothing was too much trouble. The bar was open for the parents to ease the pain of having many loud children enjoying their party. We booked an entertainer AJ Isle of Wight Entertainer who commented that the venue was perfect for one of his UV Discos. We are very grateful for all the efforts of the staff and will look to book again should we need a similar venue.

WE were on coach oh holiday bed breakfast evning meal supposed to be a disabld guest room hubby notdisable iabled but unable to get out of bath i have to eat early but couldn't so had to suffer the beef you needed a hammer and chisel for or staff very stand offish no warm welcome our tv wasnt working properly we reported it and were told be there in a minute still waiting when we left loud music after nine every night changed meal times as it suited

We stayed at this hotel with friends for 6 nights as part of our coach trip. We had a very pleasant holiday. The hotel has a fantastic view over the bay, the staff are friendly, our rooms were clean and serviced daily , bar prices were good. The food was ok and entertainment generally ok. As a group we could not find any particularly bad points worthy of criticism, nor could we say that it has any really good points. I.e it is overall "OK" hence my average scoring. However if you consider its star rating it is very good value, and we all would definitely use it again.

Terrible hotel, do not visit this place! Dirty, single rooms are like prison cells, we brought my elderly mum who had a single room and who paid a supplement. Very shabby furniture, curtains hanging down, size of a shoebox, bathroom so small could not sit on toilet and shut the door, not drawer space, very shabby indeed. Asked to move rooms, told no more room and manager said he was paid peanuts! Whole hotel very shabby, dirty and old fashioned. Husband had to stand on a chair to put curtains up for my mum! Not his job. This was a holiday not a prison sentence. As worked in prison I can guarantee prisoners get better accommodation and food!! Do not waste your money. Wallpaper hanging off, exposed gripper on carpet..ouch! Filthy doors.

Great hotel. Lovely big rooms with a beautiful view of the sea. Breakfast was really good and evening meals also. We came with two teenagers on a coach trip and we all had a great time. Excellent location with some lovely bars nearby. And the best bit… four choices of cider. Will definitely return.

Let's start by saying caladonian travel are fantastic great service friendly staff and large coach picked up in Huddersfield and down to isle of wight hotel was great greated by friendly staff room on 2nd floor twin room clean white bedding wardrobe desk and TV plus fan large bathroom clean and tidy room probably needs modernising but other than that it's clean and basic bar and restaurant downstairs meals good and drinks not bad price seating outside and great views of the beach Trips very good well worth the money I will be bk

Thank you Shanklin beach hotel we’ve had a lovely stay. Staff are absolutely lovely, food was nice , we enjoyed it. The position of the hotel is absolutely amazing. Ok, the room was not 5 star but we’re not paying 5 star prices. Bed lovely and clean and so were the bathroom. We were very comfortable. Only thing I would prefer , tables for 2 in dining room, but we met a lovely couple on our table for 4. I really can’t understand why the hotel get such awful reviews, people expect too much for a cheap price. Once again thank, you we will be back.

Stayed as part of a coach trip. First the bad points. Rooms are very dated. Our room was fairly clean however others in the party reported theirs were not. The shower head didn't point into the bath so had to take it off to clean myself. The bathroom window was against the shower and only had half frosted glass, giving people in the hotel next door a full view! Food was OK, not great but not bad either. Now the good points. Restaurant team need better training on food safety standards. Staff were brilliant, so friendly and welcoming, they must know the product they're working with is isn't great but make up for it with friendly smiles and pleasant chat. Happy hour is from 6-8pm in the bar which is well stocked and a great view of the sea. Fantastic location, could be so much more than what it is.

We visited this hotel during a coach holiday with Caladonian travel , on arrival reception was nice and quick, rooms are a little difficult to find. Good location right on the sea front but, a little difficult to get to Sandown or further on a bus if you have problems with walking. The rooms are basic , with a strange thing, your washing sink is outside your bathroom? And in your bedroom? Never seen this before. Food is not very good, breakfast as all meals are waiter’s service, sometimes very slow because they tend to serve the guests who have time to sit and chat to them! Not good. other guests have to wait. So breakfast was ok, full English or what you want or don’t want on your plate. Main meal which you have to pre order at breakfast is terrible, not much of a choice, and when we complained about our meal, stew and dumplings which was so salty that we could not eat it, we where told, sorry but we have new supplies! What ! And that was the end of it, no alternative. Beds i and other guests complained about the mattress being so uncomfortable, like laying on a bed full of springs with a hard board underneath. After saying that unless I got a better mattress, I would sleep on a very comfortable couch in the bar, I finally got it changed, another guest took two days to get hers changed. Would I go back, Never unless they get rid of the homeless guests who totally destroys a room during the night and cause panic to the guests and cause £3 to 4 thousands of ponds damage! Give it a miss

Room grotty !! I'm pretty sure death row prisoners get a better standard of accommodation!! Food inedible was served sausage and mash I wouldn't feed to my dog !! However the staff where lovely and friendly and tried their hardest to help .

Very large room with balcony and sea view. Was clean, warm and had enormous bath sheets. Plentiful tea and coffee. Food on the first night was very good, second and third night not quite as good. Nice touch with tea and coffee being available after dinner. All the staff were really helpful and pleasant. Special thanks to Neil on reception.

Excellent hotel ,very clean , great views & location & very friendly staff with great entertainment , the hotel is right on the beach

Shanklin Beach hotel is situate at sea level whilst the town is located high up on the cliffs which requires transport, the lift or stout legs in order to reach it

Stopped by for afternoon drinks and it was fairly quiet in the Bar, so much so that one has to wonder why there was Pop Music blaring out ?, presumably to just please the Barmaids.It was okay for a pint or two as it’s that large you can find a quieter corner, and I image in the height of summer that in the evenings the place would be really heaving.Unfortunately for an old fella like myself, it was eventually too loud and I left to find a quieter venue.

We had a snack here one evening from a very limited menu. However the food itself was tasty and the service reasonable. However we did call in to see the entertainment which was very average. I am sure Shanklin could do better.

Hotel was very dated and could definitely do with new mattresses !! It was the most uncomfortable bed ever ! But the staff were lovely, especially the cleaners. Tea coffee in rooms which was always topped up. Bathroom clean. Car park around the back. Never had food in the hotel so cannot comment.

Marc the hotel manager was lovely ,as were most of the staff and the hotel was opposite the beach but that is all it

Food was ok but could have been hotter....table service as we sat outside overlooking the beach ...but the tables go do with a good clean and not just a wipe with a damp cloth

We enjoyed our two night stay here in Mid - November. We had a large balcony room with en - suite (tight toilet space for bigger person) and it was Fab! Even though it was a bit chilly, morning coffee on the sunny balcony was a delight, as was going to sleep to the sound of the waves....

Just got back from a two night stay at this hotel. Firstly, this hotel is easy to find, the car park however wasn't so easy as it wasn't sign posted so we were going back and fourth trying to find it but eventually we did! When we booked the hotel the website said no need to pre book parking spaces so we thought great it must have a big car park then but no it really doesn't it was a squeeze to find a space and when we did we noticed that everywhere was sign posted saying do not park so we were very confused by this decided to park and go in and ask reception got to reception and there was a couple in front of us complaining about something - not a good start! Got to the guy on reception and he didn't ask us anything just a hello and sorry it's been a long busy weekend... So I said we have parked around the back is this okay as we saw the signs and he said yes park there it's fine we were a bit wary of this. We then continued to say that we have booked a room here and he didn't ask for any reference number just a last name but the thing is there were invoices and room keys left on the hotel desk so we could of literally just walked in off the street had a little look at the desk when he wasn't there (the desk was unmanned a lot) got a name and there you go free room! But anyway he gave us our key and quickly gave us directions to our room we just heard a lot of right and lefts and just decided we would find it by ourselves little did we know we would have to go through the bar area to get to our room it's a very strange set up we eventually found our room and the first thing I noticed was how hot the room was the windows were open but as we had a side view of another building out the window no air was coming in! The room itself was pretty clean no complaints there, the bed was made nicely and was clean no hairs or dust anywhere which is a big thing for me! We had tea and coffee making facilities but I will just mention they only provide white sugar so if you like brown or sweeteners I would bring your own to save time going to find someone! Room is very basic no phone, pen & paper or tissue boxes little touches like that but that was fine. The bathroom was very very tiny I can't call it a bathroom it was a small ensuite with a cubicle shower. This was all clean but the light above the mirror didn't turn on and the shower made an awful noise when on but we didn't complain because we just couldn't be bothered with the hassle.

nice place to have a meal after visiting the chine or beach take a walk along the sea front then have a break for lunch been many times

Just spent 5 days of hell in the worst holiday ever with Caledonian Travel in this hotel the room was disgusting not even a plug point shelves hanging off the wall and the muck behind the toilet not to mention the smell

If there was some way of clicking a different rating that was not quite very good but was slightly above average then that would be perhaps a better reflection.

Habitación diminuta y cuarto de ducha mismo. La cama era bastante cómoda y la habitación estaba limpia. No había agua caliente en la mañana a pesar de grifo durante un rato, así que nos saltamos la ducha. El personal era bastante agradable, aunque el bar cerraba antes de lo anunciado, volvimos a media 10 y el lugar estaba en la oscuridad! No te molestes con el desayuno, que era extra. Pagamos el mismo precio en Bembridge para un hotel muy superior y un desayuno fabuloso. Supongo que el extra es para estar en la playa pero no conseguir una habitación con vistas al mar. No volvería.

Mi marido y yo en un viaje de 4 días con las fiestas nacionales.

Tenía un último minutos estancia en este hotel después de una mala experiencia en otro en la isla de la dama en el mostrador era muy servicial en recomendarnos cómo reservar en el hotel.

Basic menu but nicely cooked plenty of tea, coffee and juice free for residents. Expensive for non residents to eat and drink at.

Gran lugar para las bebidas y la mesa de billar es barato por 70 p! Vale la pena ir y las vistas del mar son buenos!

I only went to this hotel for the entertainment on the night. The 2 times i went i enjoyed it but it was a shame not many people went

We spent the Bank Holiday Weekend at the Shanklin Beach Hotel and was surprised to find that it was a 2 Star and not 3+Star as advertised with UK Breakaways.Having said that despite having a room facing the car park at the rear, which was free and useful, the room was clean and tidy and adequate although not very sound resistant. Tea and coffee was provided in the room although hairdryers were available if asked for at reception.The meals were o/k particularly the breakfast with cereal and full English provided, if required. No fruit provided with the breakfast and one had to get your own coffee/tea which really was no problem.Evening meals were provided all on one plate which meant you had to have whatever vegetables they wish to provide. This clearly must be changed as I particularly hate brussel sprouts and cauliflower which were provided each day on my plate.An entertainer was singing each evening which was pleasant and there was a well provided bar lounge with a pool table if required.The hotel is situated facing the beach with a nice promenade to stroll along after the evening meal but to get to the town there is a very steep hill where elderly people would struggle to climb.All in all we had a pleasant weekend in what is no more than a 2Star hotel

Great food, not fancy, but homely. Not all frozen stuff!!Roast beef / Roast Pork / dinners with all the trimmings.Lasagne / Shepherds Pie / Scampi / FishStarters and desserts. Nice cooked breakfast - toast a little under done for my liking, but that's just me:-)

Hotel not very clean downstairs but although small bedroom fairly clean. Staff need more training on customer service and customer care. No concideration for the elderly. I asked for a ground floor room and got 2nd floor and they refused to move me. I took my own teapot which was removed from my room and put in the kitchen no apology given when I got it back this was most unacceptable. Worst hotel I've ever stayed in as felt very unwelcome.

Nice location and quite a friendly restaurant but the food really doesn't live up to expectations. Not recommended

Estuve hace un par de dias comiendo en este restaurante ; que se anunciaba como el mejor de Shanklin para comer pescado fresco.Y tomamos un cangrejo de la Isla de Wight y un pescado frito que no recuerdo el nombre. Ambos estaban bien pero el frito llevaba un aliño que practicamente ocultaba el sabor del pescado y el cangrejo muy bien preparado; con su carne y su coral desmigado en la cascara del mismo; estaba algo seco y la salsa que ofrecian una salsa cocktel demasiado fuerte para mezclar con el sutil sabor del cangrejo.Por lo demas las raciones eran abundantes y muy bien acompañadas de ensalada fresca y patatas cocidas se muy buena hechura. Los precios justos para UK; que en general son desorbitados.La carta de vinos no muy extensa pero con variedad suficiente.

We ate in the restaurant on the first morning of staying at the hotel. This was the one and only time we ate here.Overpriced, terrible service, and lousy food.There are plenty of wonderful places to eat in Shanklin and the surrounding areas - pick somewhere else!

This hotel is aimed at pensioners it advertises it is great for the wheel chairs this could not further from the truthIt is situated at the bottom of a very steep hill 200 yards long there used to be a lift at the bottom of the hill to the top end of the town but this closed for the lack of investment in the townWe asked in Shanklin when the holiday season started we were told the first week in Aprilstaff were friendly but they had not been trained no manager or assitant to complain toIf you did not go all inclusive you were put in all the rooms at the back of the hotel with a nice view of a brick wallRoom had not been decorated recently the shower was a rubber hose with 2 attachment to taps not what was shown on the discription brochure or website

rooms was clean but basic, had to stand a small mirror off the wall near a plug to blow my hair. Food was ok. I would go to another hotel if I went there again but the island was lovely.

The food was not fancy, but was good. Portions were decent sized and the staff were very helpful. One of our party was in a wheelchair and nothing was too much trouble in accommodating us.

Stopped off as we walked past...fancied a beer and sandwich for two people......served with a beer whilst ordering the food, one hour later we finally get fed.....we asked a couple of times how long...5 mins was the answer...should of carried on walking
