I was dreading staying at this hotel after reading reviews on Trip Adviser, but I was pleasantly surprised. This Hotel is situated in a good location on the cliffs of Ventnor, a good work out on calve muscles up and down to the shore which only takes about 10-15 mins. It has great views from the balcony rooms. The hotel... More

Neglect is the word that springs to mind from the weeds growing in the gravel and the filthy canopy over the front door with 30 odd cigarette butts in a dish of sand to one side and the rubbish by the front door which after a couple of days was picked up by me and handed to the owner. His... More

Having just spent a few days at The Burlington Ventnor IOW i must warn people that this is not the place to go if you have any problems with dust. No joke, our room was filthy. Bathroom had black mould all over shower end, shower head was full of limescale so much so, that it sprayed more onto wall/curtain than... More

Wonderful seaview location with very friendly and helpful staff. Traditional english food both for breakfast and evening meal and lots of it. Very well cooked and presented. Wish the weather had been good enough to enjoy the gardens and pool which looked delicious.

Booked this hotel through the daily mail attracted by the special offer 4 nights for the price of 3.+free car ferry. The chap on the phone in his hurry to take my money forgot to give me a reference number as the days got closer and no confirmation came(and it never did) i had to make a number of calls... More

When we arrived at the Hotel it was pouring with rain, our room was freezing cold as there was no heating on at all. We spent the evening, after a mediocre meal all pre-packaged food not fresh, wrapped up in dressing gowns under the duvet to keep warm. We did, thankfully, have tea/coffee making facilities which was nice. The Hotel... More

Thank goodness I didn't read the reviews before I went as I'm afraid to say they're all pretty accurate. The building alludes to so much more than it actually offers and what it does offer is an overpriced tariff for dated and grubby facilitities presented by a chap who's demeanor is not synonymous with the hotel business. Miserable doesn't begin... More

It wasn't all bad: the staff were friendly and helpful and the bed comfortable but the overall experience could have been so much better for just a little more effort. In particular, I expected real coffee (in a cafetiere) for breakfast rather than instant. The (single) room was very dated in style and a strange shape but I didn't mind... More

I really would like to give this hotel a good review as it is a really nice building, with some lovely bedrooms in a stunning spot on the cliff above the centre of Ventnor. It is very old fashioned, but it could have been such a nice place to spend the night. However, the management (or complete absence of it)... More
