Compact room was configured to make most of the space available. Nicely furnished, clean with comfortable beds. Plenty of hot water in the bathroom to use bath. Breakfast was well cooked and staff were lovely. Beautiful location on sea front and we thought good value for money.

It would have been helpful to be informed at check in that rooms are not entered or serviced during guests stay. A helpful cleaning lady we ran into stocked us up with additional supplies we needed. Being a vegetarian i did find the cooked only menu quite repetitive over a 7 night stay. No continental options are available but my son was more than happy with the menu choices. Our twin room had limited hanging and storage space and there were 2 steps down into the bathroom.

Everything about the place, the location is outstanding, ALL the staff were absolutely brilliant, the food was of excellent quality, the bar area was very well stocked, all the drought beers were brewed locally on the Island, the spirit selection was also very good, overall, we we're really satisfied and happy with everything appertaining to the Waterfront Inn Shanklin.

Unfortunately, there was no onsite private parking, although, I don't think the proprietors can do anything about that, we did manage to get Street parking very close to the venue though,

The sea view was wonderful, bed was comfortable and the room was a nice relaxing place to be. Food was excellent as was the staff. It was a nice place to spend a holiday.

We felt the breakfast could have had cereal on the menu as not everyone likes a cooked breakfast or eggs, etc. on toast. The bacon and sausage could have been cooked a little more but was still edible. The bar shut at 9.30pm which was a little early for us, but no one told us why this was. We felt as we were actually staying at the hotel, we could of had a later drink.

Food - Breakfast was lovely - best meal here. Location - right on the beachfront which was lovely, great views. Room - it was basic but adequate, we would stay here again. Staff - were all lovely, friendly and helpful.

Could have been due to being off peak season (we stayed over Easter in April) but the bars shut at 9:30pm which whilst being ok, would have been nice to be able to sit up for a bit longer as the only other option was to go to bed (Shanklin had nothing else open to go to!).

Perfectly situated. Gorgeous views across the beach/sea. Friendly staff. Lovely food, breakfast and evening meal were excellent. Travelled with our dogs who enjoyed their stay too! Helped me with parking as well which cost 10 quid a day, but you could park most places with that charge. Would return to this hotel.

Only thing was the steps up to our room. One of our dogs is not well and we had to carry him up and down the stairs. There are no rooms on the ground floor.

The breakfast was superb but slow. The room was very small the toilet was disgusting & didn't flush properly the shower grouting needs updating. The window was filthy. The room was stifling hot the maid got us a fan. The manager Mark couldn't of been any better he was welcoming friendly very kind the perfect host. Had a problem with parking so he did it & I paid him cash.

The cleanliness in the room, the window & especially the bathroom. Not good at all.

Breakfast and Dinner with a view of the beach from the veranda. Seriously other than sitting on the beach unable to get closer!! Good food and a great selection of drinks with a cocktail happy hour in the week. Purchasing an IOW Car pass meant parking around the Island-and directly in front of the Waterfront Inn was never a problem , but suggest you download the PayByPhone App before you arrive and cannot prebook dates - easy to use.(then not running out before 8am to top up your car parking:) Great friendly staff at all times. Helpful with discounts for ferries. Very clean and comfortable beds. Good location for Shanklin and the old village a short walk up the hill. Seafront walking out to Shanklin, near amusements and an excellent icecream shop. Definately planning to stay again as a great base for touring.

Great location. Lovely food (breakfast included in rate had good selection and was lovely). The staff were very friendly, took care of all our needs and requests, and you can have a chat and a laugh with them too. We’ve already told them we’ll be back later in the year and will happily stay again. We opted for one of the more budget rooms but it suited our needs… small but enough space for myself, partner, and infant.

Amazing location right on the beachfront, clean, comfortable and lovely decorated room. Bed was very comfy and plenty of pillows. Breakfast menu was very good covering a good variety. There is also an option to have dinner at the Inn and I would have liked to have tried more of the items on the menu and they sounded delicious. Staff were great and friendly. Would recommend.

The bed was a little short - luckily so am I :-)

I very much liked the Waterfront Inn, the accommodation was basic but comfortable and met all out needs, the location was superb. Morning breakfast was lovely especially sitting out on the veranda overlooking the sea. We also had our evening meals at the Waterfront which were good value, portions are huge, but delicious food, would definitely recommend.

Nothing
