Shanklin Beach Tours

Room 16 sold as Premium room, Very small double bed, ok sleeping alone vey tight I image for 2. The room has zero view with the window facing the back of the other part of the hotel and directly above the bar. Each morning around 6 the ovens and fans etc start generating noise from the kitchens below. Unfortunately for me also the person in Room 15 had their TV on all night, until 0600 and it is mounted on the wall directly behind the bed head in R16!! I will not be paying a Premium for that room again!! Breakfast is pretty good but there really is no need to put herbs as dressing on virtually every item from eggs to tomatoes, it is NOT a part of an english breakfast. Its chef BS and does not taste better. Also have the option of plain yoghurt rather than those awful flavoured pots you have.

My one night stay was very good, the staff were excellent and very helpful. Be aware there are only 8 rooms in this hotel and no elevator. If you arrive early as an international traveler it may not be as easy to check in vs. a larger hotel with a 24 hour front desk. Otherwise, it was a superb stay, the rooms were very clean, modern, quiet, with nice marble and fixtures in the bath. Staff were very personable and helpful in anything requested that was within their ability to provide. Breakfast was available a few doors down from the hotel and was presented in a very elegant, classy setting. I would definitely consider another stay if I were visiting Southampton, UK. Nice job!
