Having just arrived home from our coach trip my husband and I feel we must thank the hard working and very efficient staff and management for a lovely stay. The warm, comfortable and immaculately kept bedrooms and the top service and quality of the meals in the smart dining room were excellent. The lounge is a lovely comfortable place to... More

The room was spotless, and the beds made immaculately every morning. The management and staff all work really hard and efficiently -... More

Whilst I can sort of agree with other reviews that the beds are uncomfortable in some rooms and the decor dated, the cleanliness of the hotel and the quality of the food cannot be criticised, also found staff to be helpful and friendly. Would not... More

We were very apprehensive about our booking at the hotel after reading recent negative reviews. However we found the hotel was friendly efficient and spotlessly clean. We enjoyed our stay and could certainly recommend it to anyone visiting Sandown More

Having read many of the reviews of this hotel I assumed I would be staying at Sandown's version of the Ritz! In reality it is a very average hotel which must have only just scraped it's AA 2** rating. The service levels which some 'alleged' guests have lauded previously are no better than any other hotel - basic and what... More
