Shanklin Hotel

The heater wasn't working

I prefer the Continental break fast

None

We like the location where it's very close to the beach and bus stops. I also like the bar area where there is facilities like pool table and live music. The room includes a hairdryer, towels, and have a decent view.

I think they could have offered more toiletries like tooth brush, tooth paste and lotion. The room is also not very sound proof so you can hear the live music or people talking in the corrodor.

The staff made this hotel!

A little dated and tired in places.

all good

we could have stayed longer!

Very close to beach. Ocean view room had great view as no taller buildings around. The pool was a decent size and open 7am-9pm. You had to go in two minimum as they 'don't have a lifeguard', though the pool was only about 5 foot high max. They did say we could use the pool after check out, so that was a bonus. There was entertainment and bingo in the evening, but we did not attend these.

There was no air conditioning, and the windows didn't open much. There was a plug-in fan in the room, but as we visited in July, it was still pretty hot.

exceptionally helpful and friendly staff

It was good. Attentive staf

It was sweltering in the room hottest week this year had no idea that there was a fan in the Wardrobe. I went down at 1am staff said they ad run out but the following morning another guest told me they were stored in each Room Iin the wardrobe and as I was only thete for one night had no need to hang clothes
