This hotel could be better, althought the hotel was clean and warm the welcome from the staff wasn't that good the staff appeared to be rushed and unhappy, while sitting in the reception we could hear the staff talking and they were clearly not happy, this showed in the service that was given.

The staff,from the top down were a delight,the food, (and I like... More

Just returned from a weekend away in the Medeamstede Hotel. Lovely location, easy walk to the Old Shanklin town and the modern shops, and sea front. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The hotel was basic, could do with a lick of paint and updating, but it is old. The layout got a bit confusing, I kept turning wrong... More

Just returned from an Easter break at this hotel with Travelstyle Holidays. Found it to be a an overall good experience and value for money. Room was clean but the hotel was a little too warm and we had to sleep with the windows open. Staff were friendly and helpful and the food is OK for the price we paid.... More

On arriving it was the usual happy and very warm welcome that we always receive from Jean and her staff. We have... More

We were booked into this delightful hotel via a coach holiday trip mid March 2012 (or nearly quarter past eight in old money) and as we arrived, Host/Manager Jean hopped on the coach to greet us - bearing in mind how many trips we have been on, home and abroad, this gesture was a 'First' for us - and made...
