Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were incredibly comfortable and well-equipped, perfect for a quiet reading session or enjoying board games while overlooking the tropical garden. Everything was kept spotlessly clean by the attentive staff who clearly cared about their guests' comfort. The service was top-notch with genuinely happy staff making my stay even more enjoyable. The location in the lush, mature gardens near the charming shops of Shanklin was simply stunning. However, the dining experience lacked variety, although the Bernese sausages were a tasty highlight. Overall, a delightful stay with excellent facilities and tremendous value for the price.
The hotel is nestled in a lush, quiet part of Shanklin, surrounded by beautiful gardens. The rooms are pristine and overlook a tropical garden, offering a cozy ambiance. The service is impeccable with happy staff always ready to assist. However, the dining options, particularly for gluten-free dishes, are limited. The location is ideal for nature lovers but may be a bit distant from the station. Overall, a charming retreat with attentive service and serene surroundings.
The hotel is nestled in mature attractive gardens, close to shops in Shanklin, creating a lovely historical setting. The rooms offer a serene ambiance for quiet reading or board games with an overlook of the tropical garden, complemented by excellent facilities. However, the dining options, particularly the availability of white rice, could be more diverse. The service, marked by great service and cheerful staff including diligent housekeeping, is a standout feature of the experience.
