- AndyBsUTube (4/5): - On the sea front, and left alone None of the room fittings were working, downgraded from deluxe room to standard, supposed to get refund but didn't. Not happy
- Gohel (1/5): -
- Duignan (10/5): -
- Afroz (1/5): Worst Experience - Nothing Under the bed was filthy with dirt and dust,unpleasant odors
bedding was dirty, stained, or appeared unused.
bathrooms were moldy, showers had grime andsurfaces needed a deep clean. We found some used child nappies and other stuff left unclean
Hotel is seriously having security concerns, whole night kids were not able to sleep, it's scary envirohment. Door locking is completely insecure as it doesn't have option to lock from inside thr room.
Bathroom doesnt have locking system. Windows locking doesn't work. Can't close some of the windows.
There was not heating available.
- AndyBsUTube (8/5): -
- Jurijus (1/5): - Rooms in sales
We are tired back from job and getting bad news
We are cancelled
Did you check your emails???
I am said, I am tired and come to rest in hotel because we are working in this Iceland
Booking com let us buy in other apartment in same hotel
Against take a payment and no hotel
So we are confused what’s happened

- Zia Ullah (8/5): It's location, just next to the sea is its biggest asset. - An improvement in the hotel as this was our second time there. The rooms have been renovated and the digital entry to the hotel n rooms is hassle free. We had to ask for the fan although it was listed in facilities. Still there is room for improvement in renovation like new cupboards or drawers needed.
- Jessica (3/5): Not coming back - Location was fantastic. Staff ( one lady was lovely) People’s doors wide open, such a state people on their beds drink, god knows what drugs they’ve taken
Half way house … wasn’t pleasant.
People trying our room doors constantly
- Gemma (3/5): - The location was not as stated. I have tried contacting the hotel and booking.com to no avail as I had paid for this but to my surprise when I set my sat navigation it was nowhere near the location as was advertised
- Walker (1/5): Very very bad - Disgraceful You need to remove them
From booking. Com it us now a hostel for homeless people YOU SHOULD NOT be offering it has a hotel
- Mags (9/5): Superb - The view and the size of the room. Easy self check in. Good general store 4min Walk. Beach right outside the door.
- Daniel (2/5): Find somewhere else, not worth the money. - The location was nice There was no parking, even though online it say there is. So we had to find parking which is not free around the area. The room was not clean at all, cob webbs in main room and bath. Marks and dirty in both rooms, dirty towel in one of the draws. One of the manager/owners kids were outside our room in the yard. Really noisy, and one of the kids kicked a football at our window, and then laughed about it. The bed was the hardest thing I have ever tried to sleep on.
- Ankesh (10/5): Must go for efficient price. Don’t expect too much. - Location is perfect, 2 mins to beach Everything was perfect. Food we need it outside.
- Kerry (1/5): Bad - We love the beach bar down stairs so friendly & lovely shout out to the young barmaid she was so welcoming didn’t have to wait for drinks we’re be back but not to stay in rooms Well it was dirty the beds were so uncomfortable springs sticking through,kettle was disgustingly dirty smelt,the bed frame had blood stains round it,shower was grimy,I’ve never complained about anything the cup for a drink had thick brown stains round the inside of cup
- Abhi (3/5): Poor -
- Neil (4/5): Uncomfortable but a bed for the night - Parking and the bed was like laying on concrete!
- Harry (10/5): Pleasurable - Had a good size front room with sea view and even a microwave There was sometimes a lack of hot water from the bathroom sink tap for filling a hot water bottle.

- Patel (5/5): Passable -
- Adeoluwa (4/5): Disappointing -
- Michelle (1/5): Never going back to that OYO Marina hotel. Better to have it remove in Booking.com options of hotels - It was a total disappointment The pictures in your website is totally inaccurate. The room is filthy specially the bathroom. The place seems dangerous for kids and not advisable for families at all. TV is not working and broken frame for display is still hanging. There is no lock for the main hallway of the hotel. I’m not even sure if it’s legal to keep that place open. Please remove it in Booking.com because it ruins your credibility of offering good accommodation.
- Pauline (4/5): Less then basic - When the bar/Street food bars were open the service was excellent and the location was excellent right on Sandown sea front It needed to be updated as the floor boards to get to the room felt like you could go through them.The kettle was lime scale in side it and the staff were out side making some noise instead of working and on Monday night they were outside until gone 11. With bbq for them and not for the public. When the street food bars were closed all day Sunday and Monday.
- Jagdeep (1/5): Bad - Very very bad , very dirty, I am shocked in United kingdom I this place. I will complain booking.com to show that much dirty property. Nothing
- April (1/5): Disgusting, dirty, filthy!!!!!!!! - Nothing! It's was dirty! Apserloutly disgusting. DO NOT STAY HERE for your own health honestly it wants shutting down, it has NEVER been cleaned, stains literally every where, holes in the walls, wires hanging out the walls! Should be shut down.
- Conan (9/5): Great beach location and chilled out place to stay. - Location and people in residence were nice. Good views. Local to shops. Beach bar vibe and holiday atmosphere. , Decor in stairs area needs basic cleaning and painting. Furnishings in room need basic attention such as the mirror and sills,.,,...
- Bakam (4/5): Disappointing -
- Somanath (1/5): Worst ever in my life - Nothing clean, there are bed bugs and mould inside the rooms. Better avoid this hotel
- Singha (1/5): Bad - Location Dirty , wasted money , other rooms guests were opened and smells of smoke
- Shivakumar (1/5): Bad - I didn't like anything they are not responding to the anyone & they are providing fake information
- Bhatt (5/5): Passable -
- Mouchantaf (3/5): dust,dirty,TV not working - location the room
- James (6/5): Good value, clean, and helpful staff. - Cheap and cheerful! I think it’s more of a backpacking style hotel but it was clean and would suit solo or couple travelers. Only baby cot onsite was broken!
- Tom (1/5): In the end we could not stay in this hotel. It was a total mess . - Nothing at all. Human poo marks on the wall in the bathroom. Broken toilet seat , light broken.
- Purcell (1/5): Bad - Please do not bother. Human faeces on walls and bedding. And who knows what other fluids it has been lurking. This place is a health hazard. Please avoid an all cost 🙏
- Nicola (2/5): Nice place - I liked the view and how near it was to the beach We had a problem when we first turnt up no staff in the reception so couldn’t self book in my partner had to deal with some one who was on the floor upstairs there was a strong smell of cannabis and drunk people there was a lot of banging around in the night the shower door was broken the window was full of water there was a dead bug on the wall and cracks in the wall the fan in the room was a bit dodger and the bathroom door would Shut
- Bowyer (5/5): Passable - We had a nice view from the room. It seems to be a half way place now,with lots of drunk young people.the floors were dirty as was the tables in the reception.
- Iftikhar (1/5): Bad -
- Amandeep (7/5): Good - There is a little problem with water outlet, water goes slowly from wash basin
- Enid (4/5): Disappointing - Great Location No staff around very tired looking
- Corrine (2/5): Very poor - The fact on was on the seafront.
Easy to find. Where to start! The fan light had bent blades, didn't dare turn it on. There was a big crack in the ceiling and mirror. The bedside cabinet has a big piece missing from it!
Milk sachets out of date and there was only one tea/coffee mug, the room was very dusty as if the room had been empty for a while. The curtains didn't close properly so it never got dark in the room.
No code for wifi.
Didn't use the shower so can't comment.
For the price they charge for one night.....there are better places out there.
I wouldn't recommend staying here. We left after a couple of hours, couldn't stay the whole night!
- Simon (1/5): Bad - Location was ok Broken mirror and broken cabinets drugs be smoked in the rooms around us no staff to deal with problems I will never stay there again
- Ben (1/5): Short break - Near seafront bar restaurant. Bed uncomfortable and uncomfortable stay in this place feel like we are break in old hotel!
- Gary (7/5): Good - Big room. Comfy bed No hot water
- Bowyer (6/5): Pleasant - The staff were helpful. Where I was placed. Right by the door leading to the stairs so heard people going in and out at all time through the night. Door banging as they went through it
- Preet (4/5): Disappointing -
- Jaswant (2/5): Not very good, should not recommend anyone - Nothing Not clean. No chair or table, bed not clean. No working heating
- Shabnam (8/5): Overall the stay was amazing due to the views. However it could be better with a proper double bed - The view was absolutely amazing There were twin beds conjoined as a double bed and it had wheels underneath so the whole time the bed kept on sliding apart and it was very uncomfortable. They can surely get better beds for a better customer experience. The bathroom sink was clogged as well and we couldn’t use it after a while.
- Md (8/5): Very good -
- Niel (3/5): Poor -
- Brian (10/5): Great room disgusting 🤢 kettle - Lovely bid room and a sea view The kettle was full of mould!
- Caroline (1/5): Aweful - Location Not very clean.
Full of people that seemed to hand around outside drinking then spent most of the night knocking on people’s doors, seems to be some kind of hostel for reprobates.
Kept me, my husband and daughter awake most of the night.
Difficult to book in as information was supposed to be sent through WhatsApp but mine did not come through properly, reception not manned so I was left standing in lobby for 20 minutes with young child waiting for someone to come and help us get access to our room.
Never stayed in such a poor hotel in my life!
- Rebeca (10/5): Exceptional -
- Koduri (7/5): Good -
- Susana (3/5): Poor - Didn’t have breakfast I didn’t like the way the carpet wasn’t clean the cups for a hot drink was dirty also toilets wasn’t very clean I’m not so sure about bed sheets towels but that seemed ok only issue was the room windows were also dirty
- Marie (5/5): Nice location but the hotel requires a good clean & makeover - The manager was very helpful. One of the room was locked around 1am and we were panicked but someone from the team came and sort it out. The door system to access our room was not good.

- Erica (2/5): Didn’t use the shower as too unhygienic. Old and dated and in need of a refurbishment. - Location Cleanliness was very poor, mould on walls and shower cubicle. Over priced and wouldn’t recommend.
- Manual (1/5): Bad days of mine at marina - I am not recommending anyone to book this property in advance,
I have been booked this property before my travel start to the town, Once I reached over there the proper manager is saying that is fully booked due to the booking.com problem it’s took my money it’s seems and they didn’t refund the money on the day
I spent lot of time over there and the service guys are very rude and not understanding my family situation, It’s was very disappointing and irresponsibility behaved to the customers and I had seen so many of them had same issues during the same day
Waste of money and time! Feel like fraud, it’s like money snatchers
