What a lovely hotel clean modern beautiful rooms great outdoor area with pool had a fab pimm’s at the bar. Excellent staff very helpful/ friendly amazing breakfast can not fault anything will stay again.
The staff were super helpful, particularly the Welsh lad (can’t remember his name) but he went out the way to help us. The pool area was lovely and quiet. Would recommend
The property was beautifully decorated, staff were extremely helpful and polite, customer service was excellent.
The only issue that we had was the shower in our room, it had absolutely nothing about it, there was no pressure whatsoever, purely a trickle of water!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Friendly staff. The lounge and bar area seemed recently renovated. Room was a bit outdated but the price was reasonable.
Lovely hotel with fab bar area and outside seating, room was snug but had everything we needed and very clean. Staff very friendly and helpful, only minor issue is that property is not wheelchair accessible, althought they are ramps getting into main entrance involves getting up quite a big step, otherwise very nice hotel
Cosy chic hotel smells Devine and staff lovely,
Can’t rate amenities or breakfast as the spa and breakfast wasn’t available due to coming out of season.
A lovely hotel in the perfect location with helpful, pleasant staff. The rooms however are tired and need an update to reflect the downstairs of this hotel. The shower has no pressure, the toilets are run on a very noisy macerater and generally the rooms require a total refurb which i understand from the new Managers is in hand.
This hotel is well situated and the reception and bar areas are top class. The staff also are not to be faulted, providing a warm welcome and nothing too much trouble.
The bedroom and decor however, leave much to be improved upon. Poor paint finishing, a wash basin in the main bedroom area separate from the shower and toilet, a dreadfully weak shower and a strange pump noise going on throughout the day/night intermittently.
All easily remedied which would make this welcoming hotel one of the best in Shanklin I reckon.
Breakfast was very good with lots of choice . Room was fine but TV quite big for the size of the room. Shower very small. Lovely decor and bar staff and waitress very helpful. Nice being able to use the sauna. Pool and hot tub not yet in use
Lovely place - interesting deco; infrared sauna, hot tub and heated outdoor swimming pool - all in great working condition; friendly staff; tasty breakfast
This was the second time me and my partner have stayed at the Q hotel. Overall everything is great - staff lovely and easy to chat too, location and great walking distance.
