Premier Inn Isle of Wight, Sandown (Seafront)

The staff make this location!! Unfortunately the amount of mould in the bathroom & surrounding area is not a pretty sight. Such a shame as when newly opened it was perfect. FORGET trying to get phone signal/roaming in your room it’s useless - it’s as if there are blockers in place. IF you can get on the WiFi it’s ridiculously slow, I could dial up quicker (maybe because you’re supposed to pay for a higher speed)? Premier inn, listen to customers rather than company accountants.

The Sandown Esplanade Premier Inn overlooks the sandy beach which is ideal for families with young children. There are beach cafes, ice cream parlour nearby and of course the Premier Inn Restaurant with an excellent menu. The Southern Vectis Bus service is excellent allowing accessibility to the rest of the IOW, so download the live app, and the OAP UK bus pass is acceptable on most routes.

Lovely hotel and team. Great location and right on the beach. Perfect for the summer and with the family if I came back with them. Breakfast was great and loads of choice. Room was lovely, everything I needed. Will be back again as I love the IOW and the hotel

Had a fantastic view of the sea from the room; however, because it was a straight view, the window was entirely sealed, which resulted in dust accumulation beneath the beds. Two of the mattresses in my family room are in perfect condition, but one is hitting the springs. The breakfast was fantastic, and I would highly recommend it to others.

Would never come here again staff are rude and weird they don’t wash the bedding don’t come here save your money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This hotel is in a great location. It can’t be faulted. The staff are always great and helpful. Friendly and normal which is good. Where this falls down are 3 elements. 1. Parking - there is no parking you have to find a space of you are lucky outside the hotel which is near on impossible. You end up down the other end of the esplanade. You then have to pay anything from £2.35 up to around £12 to park. The parking runs out at 4:30am. Which is madness. Not the hotels fault but there needs to be clearer advice or pre booking to book parking in bulk. You can buy permits but I didn’t think I would need this but clearly I did. No parking so that’s not good. 2. WiFi. It’s poor at best. 4g was better. Of course we go away to get away from tech and wifi. However when you take a load of pics and want to send them the wifi can’t handle it. It drops soon as you login. Then just hangs. Not good. You can upgrade but why do u need to. 3. The aircon. It’s set to 19c. Doesn’t sound hot but the windows don’t open and it is hot. Even in April I needed it to go down lower and it can’t. It’s like it was blowing some form of air out of a straw. The rooms were just hot in the night and for me it was uncomfortable. I dreaded going back to the room to sleep as I knew I would be baking and when you can’t get fresh air in to the room it becomes stuffy and stale.
