Quiet, comfortable hotel. Great location for the beach. The staff were just lovely. Friendly and helpful. Decor a little dated but charming in an oldy woldy way. Nice breakfasts.
The young lady on reception was very good and extremely helpful. The room was small but adequate for our needs.
Breakfast was excellent and a good choice, the staff through out were pleasant and friendly.
I would recommend The Wight to anyone.
I basically look for 4 things. A decent bed to sleep on, washing facilities in the room, a TV to sometimes watch, and a quality breakfast in the morning. I couldn't fault anything, it was all excellent. Plus they have other activities, swimming pool, games room, snooker room and lots more. Staff were absolutely brilliant and helped me anytime I asked a question. It was my first time on the island for over 50 years. There's a bar for drinking with an area also for live music, all together. It was perfect for me.

Good place to rest my head at the end of a busy day working, staff were friendly and welcoming
Our stay was great. It was only for one night, but we found the staff very friendly and helpful. The room was lovely, and very clean. We thoroughly enjoyed it, and plan to return in the future.
It's a great place for a short stay with family. The pool is a plus. There is a good breakfast and great service. With your car, you can get to any other place on the island in a reasonable time.
Great stay .... i needed some space for some personal issues, staff brilliant ... pool, jacuzzi, steam room unexpected bonus ..... Sandown ideal place to reflect and readjust
