We stayed 4 nights on a bargain-price coach trip from N.Wales. As O.A.P.'s, we found the location restrictive, being below cliffs, the only access to Shanklin town being via a lengthy inclined road, or steep and numerous steps. There Is a lift (60p)- but it was out of order! The Hotel had a "spartan " feel, and although breakfast was... More

We originally booked a National Express holiday, staying at the Langham Court Hotel, but that was cancelled due to insufficient demand: we were offered the Shanklin Beach hotel and accepted. On arrival on 6th May we were allocated Room 22: it's tiny but the big problem for us was that it hadn't been cleaned. Down to reception again, where we... More

Dear Valued guest, I am sorry to hear that the entertainment provided exclusively for our coach visitors wasnt to your approval. Had you asked our front desk staff or any staff member to relocate you once more I am sure they would have accommodated you a second time without any bother. We do our best to resolve our guest issues... More

Stayed with National Holidays 29 April - 3 May 2013. Not one to complain and have had several great holidays with this company. But at this hotel the bedroom was 'tired' and was in desperate need of decoration. Twin beds were very narrow and only had duvet and base sheet. These were very clean. Bathroom small with no shower -... More

Very sorry to hear that the Hotel was not as you expected. Keep in mind we are a 2.5 star property which precludes telephones , TV guides and other items you would recieve in a 4 star property. Duvet with base sheet is common even in 4 star Hotels throughout the UK and the EU, our Duvets covers and base... More
