Liked: Staff & service
The staff were very friendly. The bar area was very welcoming and encouraged guests to mingle.The bed was comfortable however the shower and toilet facilities need upgraded throughout. The gardens and pool area are of good size but need maintaining. The star attractions are the breakfast which was splendid and the location is ideal for all amenities

The décor in the hotel was quirky but good.
Staff very nice and helpful.
The breakfast was good. Comfortable bed. If you are an early riser the WiFi is not switched on nor is the hot water till about 6 o'clock. Shower screen very dirty.
Steamer Inn, Shanklin on sea front had a very nice menu, go down in the lift and it's on the right.
We stayed in 3 single rooms . These were small but mostly ok. All our beds were really comfortable and a good size and clean. One room didn't have a chest of drawers or a shelf in closest to put any folded cothes away and all lacked a chair . The rooms were pretty dark .
The showers were hot and the pressure not bad . Overall for what we paid generally happy. and the staff so friendly . Breakfast also lovely .
Breakfast too expensive and no choice staff friendly but the shower was very poor with low pressure and hard to operate almost impossible to wash your hair bathroom as a whole not massively clean room a bit small with no chair comfortable bed and good facilities

A very nice weekend getaway. This hotel is well located, has very friendly staff and is well kept. Clean rooms and a very good breakfast. Also the pool is nice. The only minus was having our stay during a very hot weekend and having a room at the rear side of the hotel facing evening sun - no air conditioning… we still slept well!
Lovely hotel! Everything looked brand new and the bed was very comfortable. I stayed for one night and it was perfect. Great location, lovely staff and great value.
The room was clean and very comfortable. The staff were very friendly. The breakfast was very nice and the beach was only a five minute walk from the hotel. The bed was also very comfortable. I used the hot tub and the sauna and thoroughly enjoyed both. I would recommend it to my family. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Such a lovely hotel, amazing customer service, very welcoming & friendly. The lounge areas are so cosy, smell really nice! The decor is adorable. A little bar with a good selection of drinks. An amazing breakfast was served in the morning. Just an all round brilliant stay.
We had a lovely 3 night stay at the “Q”
Perfect venue near the beach and a very short walk into Shanklin town.
Rooms were nice and the pool and spa terrace was really nice.
The couple who run the “Q” are very attentive and helpful.
One small downside is the parking is not as straightforward as you would like, but it did not detract from having a great stay.
The hotel was lovely, very modern, gorgeous décor and impeccably clean. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Great location in Shanklin, only a street away from the lift which takes you down onto the beach and only a short walk to restaurants, gift shops and the local convenience shop. I would recommend the Q Hotel if you are planning on visiting Shanklin :-)
Lovely super-king size bed, super friendly staff, clean modern boutique style hotel.

Q for quirky decor. Room 10 was about the size of a sea cabin. "Compact" is being generous.It suits single ocupancy only.
Bar area comfortable. Good choice of drinks.
Hotel is close to the sea front so convenient.
