The Q Hotel

Nice 4 night stay in july. Comfortable bed for a single , enormous tv. room a little cramped. Although we had to pay for breakfast it was good value for £12.50. We had sunday roast which was superb for £16. very enjoyable stay staff very helpful.

We went here for a meal. Very impressed food was outstanding. Staff very pleasant 😊 was a little.slow to.ask for drinks when seated. But overall was very very happy and will be going again, will also be recommending to other people. Very happy people after we left 😊

Great place, has a real identity that stands out from the rest. Owners could not do enough for us during our stay. We were a group of cyclists and the owners ensured we had secure areas to keep out bikes overnight. Lovely food, lovely wine list with a nice pool and sauna, just what you need after a ride around the island.

Comfortable bed and a quiet cosy room. Huge television that takes some time to get used to. Shower not great, takes ages for hot water to come through and flow is pitiful. Breakfast okay, the decorative aspects are unusual and clearly the owners have tried to create something unique. Reception failed to tell us about the code on the key and hotel closed at 10:30 pm so had to call owner for entry. Owners are friendly and welcoming. Good parking in area.

The hotel has a good location and a decent pool. However, the rooms and bathrooms were quite small; the showers were poor and had no pressure and the walls between rooms were very thin meaning we could hear a lot of what was going on in the rooms next to ours. The breakfast was very good however it was not always served with a smile. Overall, we would’ve expected better/bigger rooms and better service for the price. There are lots of other hotels near for far cheaper that we would explore next time.

So, I'll start with the positives; the communal areas are very nice, the location is good for the beach and for Shanklin, there's parking, the pool area is very nice and the pool is heated, the prices are very reasonable - both to stay and for drinks, the breakfast excellent, the TVs huge, and the staff friendly and helpful. Less positive; the toilet seat 'moved', there was only one toilet roll, the shower tray had some suspect 'specks' on it and I couldn't work out how to use the shower, [the stop start button was on the shower head]. There's no lift so I booked a downstairs room but there's a high step to get to it. The room had twin beds, which was fine, although I'd have preferred a double bed, I didn't need one. The quilt, pillows etc were, I think, feather which I am a bit allergic to. My fault I didn't think to call in advance and ask for an alternative,[or check the bed situation] - although there was no alternative offered in the guest services book. The plugs to the phone charger, bedside lamp etc. weren't working and I had to ask someone to replace the extension lead, late at night. There's no fridge, which I missed in hot weather, [although they do offer to store medications etc. ] The window opens a little too wide to feel secure on the ground floor. The curtains are right next to the bed so a little difficult to close. The room is an OK size, not much room if there were two of you tbh. The sink is in the bedroom rather than the, tiny, bathroom. I got used to this. The area was screened off with a large, attractive screen which was difficult to move around but did provide an extra drying option! Housekeeping was minimal - bins weren't emptied and on one occasion it hadn't been done by 4.30 and when they knocked I was resting in my room and asked them to give me 5 minutes - they never came back and I had to ask for a clean cup and saucer, but my glass wasn't replaced! Some of the pictures are rather bizarre but each to their own! All in all generally a pleasant stay and I think the hotel is a 'work in progress' and will be gorgeous in due course.

Nice small hotel with a swimming pool, bar and reataurant. Friendly staff and excellent food served. Only drawback is their wi-fi coverage not extending to my room (#32) at the very rear and top floor of the hotel.

The Q hotel as it is known today is amazing. Very chic. Had Sunday dinner food was amazing and plenty of it. Dining area very well presented and staff friendly, welcoming and couldn't do enough for you highly recommend you won't go away hungry.

The hotel was clean and the staff were efficient and very friendly. The food and the restaurant were excellent. Parking was a problem on times and the shower pressure was poor. The owner is in the process of updating certain aspects of the hotel so this may be resolved in the near future.
