Hotel needs modernising but that said it was very clean and well decorated, staff very helpful, food very good, plentiful and most important hot. Rooms very small but that was ok as we were out most of the day and the entertainment laid on at night very good.

This hotel needs a total refurbrishment. stayed in room 33 - lovely sea view but no central heating, tiny bathroom with very poor finish, towels clean but with wholes the same applies to bedding. This hotel is not really suited for young couples- even with £200 bar tab, we preferred to go elsewhere. As for entertainment i know my mum... More

We stayed at the Channel View over the weekend of the 27 to 30 th of April and we had a great weekend thanks to a Groupon deal. The bed and breakfast cost was £169 for two but we had a £200 bar tab per room spread over the 3 days. There were some restrictions like the time between 7... More

I stayed at this hotel on 21st Apr2012 for 5 days, and found the staff very helpful and friendly, I was a bit concerned with previous reviews, but was pleasantly surprised with the welcome we had. The room was clean and towels were changed every day. The food was excellent and the only complaint I had was too much food,... More

Very attentive staff, clean and plenty of food. The mattress in my room has too hard for me. Very good value for money but there are limitations as others have mentioned. I would visit again if looking for clean and basic accommodation. I have rated it very good for the price.

Stayed at this hotel over the Easter Bank Holiday. Hotel is very run down and the bedrooms are in need of major refurbishment if it is to continue to stay in business. The bar and dining areas are all very clean, food was good but portion sizes quite small (very small dish of vegatables between two). At breakfast if you... More

We stayed here for 5 days. Hotel is very dated and in parts very dirty. The food was lovely and the staff are fine so as a cheap hotel it just suffices.

Stayed at the Channel View Hotel for a long weekend. We were not expecting 5* accommodation so were very happy with what the hotel had to offer. Rooms were comfortable and spotlessley clean we had a relatively large room but know that other rooms were less spacious. We had a bath and shower, hairdryer and tea and coffee making facilities...

Like others perhaps, I booked this thinking it was the other ChannelView Hotel down the road in Shanklin. When I read some of the reviews here my heart sank! But I was very pleasantly surprised. Ok the room wasn't the biggest or the most luxurious I have ever stayed in, but it was clean and comfortable and that's good enough... More

I stayed here in Dec 2011 and I have to say I had a great time. The hotel had a cosy warmth atmosphere and the room was very comfortable. Entertainment was amazing to the point it was more fun to spend evenings at the hotel bar then go elsewhere. Staff were friendly, food was very tasty and overall good value... More
