    In all honesty there was nothing I disliked, I found everything to be positive the same as the last time I stayed.

    Friendly welcoming staff. Comfortable and a daily well cleaned room. A very pleasant breakfast every day.

    Bed grim cold wet clingy shower curtain

    Nice place this staff were brilliant considering how busy it was young Lee at breakfast was particularly helpful breakfast was nice usual hotel fare nice and hot decent sausage the room was nicely decorated and clean cracking view however unfortunately the bed was properly uncomfortable which is a shame as everything else was spot on except the shower curtain I really don't like them but there's not much they can do about that with such a small cubicle there is plenty of competition in shanklin and this is well up there if I hadn't walked 27 miles to get there I might not have slept at all as it was I couldn't get comfy in that bed really soft and lumpy but all in all pretty good cheers guys

    The water in the swimming pool was so cold and the pool shower room had no hot water.

    The room was clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and was only a 12-minute walk from Shanklin Chine.

    Location of the hotel is great. Close to Shanklin beach and our partial beach view room lifted our spirits when we reached there. Breakfast was good. Staff were good.

    It was very good location. The cooked breakfast was a normal size, not sure if we could ask for extra. Fruit and perhaps some pastries would of been good to be available. Staff were very pleasant and informative.

    Clean, comfortable rooms. Amazing sea view and helpful staff. Breakfast was great too with veggie/vegan options. They even had sausages for our dog! They also had an EV charger on site (at additional cost) which was convenient. The only reason I’m giving a 9 was cuz the windows were slightly dirty on the exterior - had some bird poop obscuring the beautiful view . Nonetheless, we would absolutely stay here again whenever we visit IOW

    Check in took 20mins Restaurant not open in evenings though advertised and 2nd night we were there they opened it for a coach party.. Came back to our room one afternoon and the TV was on and blaring out and we hadn't had it on so looked as if someone had been in our room. The bread by the toaster had ran out one morning so I asked for some and the waitress bought out 3 slices of bread

    Location was good. Staff were friendly if not the quickest

    The only thing that would have improved the stay was the weather being better, but that is clearly outside the control of the hotel!

    This was my second stay at the Channel View Hotel. After a brief overnight stay in 2023, I knew what to expect and opted for a longer stay this time. As before, I received a very warm welcome and enjoyed a comfortable room that was spotlessly clean and kept nice and warm, considering the weather. The breakfast in the morning was very good and the staff couldn't have been nicer, always willing to offer help when needed. Location wise, this ranks among the best in Shanklin, as it overlooks the esplanade and the front-facing rooms have an incredible panoramic view across Sandown Bay, which is arguably one of the best views on the Island. You are a short walk from the beach, the Old Village and the town, so everything is within easy reach.
