Chilled out, comfortable stay in a great location

I was made to feel very comfortable as a lady solo traveller, everyone was very friendly especially the lady that served the breakfast. The food was amazing and being seated in a nice little table in the corner was perfect for me and I didn't feel isolated.... thank you so much. The view was amazing from the balcony and so nice to hear the waves whilst in bed. Will definitely be back, great stay!!

Perfect location looking across the Esplanade to the sea front. Excellent food served all day in a relaxed atmosphere by attentive staff. This great venue attracted a lot on non-resident customers and there was a real buzz as guests enjoyed their relaxed meal eating great food and enjoying a wide variety from the bar.. As residents we were recognised and welcomed and felt very looked after. This was a great base to explore the Island from,

A welcoming Shanklin hotel in a great location.

When we arrived we were made to feel very welcome and all information was well explained. We found all the staff very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The food was excellent and very plentiful. There were a nice selection of real ales at the bar. Nice sea views from the room.

First time in Isle of Wight. 3 day stay in The Steamer Inn with my twin sister. The sea view twin room with balcony was very good for what we needed and was clean and presentable. Breakfast was good with waitress service. Staff very friendly and accommodating to our needs. Restaurant very popular throughout the day and night and the meals we had were very good with fresh ingredients and a variety of choices. Ideal location for direct access to the beach. Lift or shuttle bus to Shanklin town and local attractions if you don’t fancy the steep walk. With regular buses to other parts of island too. Overall a very enjoyable stay at The Steamer Inn.

Lovely romantic break

Location perfect with stunning sea views. Staff really helpful and friendly. Food very good. Very good value for money. Only criticism would be that the rooms are a bit dated. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel and we will be staying here again in the future.

Excellent stay with good food

Lovely seafront pub with rooms above. Very popular for meals which are excellent with a big choice at reasonable prices. Rooms not spacious but comfortable and clean. Excellent balcony overlooking the sea in some rooms. Staff efficient and very friendly. Live music at weekends but not overly noisy. a bit of a walk to the old or new town but there is a cliff lift to help. Would definitely stay again.

Nice beachside location in Shanklin. We had a sea view room with a small balcony Room was small but quite a lot of storage. The bathroom could do with additional shelving or storage for toiletries The rooms are not serviced. We were advised to speak to staff for anything we required daily. The breakfast options don’t include much in the way of a non fried meal. There was toast and tea cakes but no cereal, yougurt fruit or pastries available
