We often stay at the REH. It is a charming, largish Victorian Hotel opposite the Hoverport. Our room has just been refurbished to a good standard. The staff were all very friendly. The downside for us was the food. The Saturday evening menu this time was very limited unlike in previous years. Breakfast was of a good standard but we felt there wasn't very much on the plate for the full English. I don't wish to be too critical as it is a very nice hotel in an old fashioned way and we will certainly return in the future.

Sehr schönes, typisch englisches Hotel im viktorianischen Stil, das ich vor 55 Jahren das erste Mal gesehen habe. Deshalb habe ich mich für dieses Hotel entschieden. Hatte ein sehr geräumiges Zimmer mit Blick zum Meer und die Lage ist perfekt wenn man mit dem Bus diese wunderschöne Insel erkunden will. Das Personal ist überaus freundlich, was ich von allen Inselbewohnern sagen kann. Von mir also eine klare Weiterempfehlung.

We paid for a premium room which was room 34 with a view, it was the size of a cupboard the curtains did not fit you could not close them. I could not fit into the shower and there was no bath the toilet was separate next to the bed and behind a sliding door that didn’t close. The list could go on and on. We were staying for 3 days but had no help from the reception staff or management we would not return to this hotel Give it a Miss.

Old property that needs some modernising. Windows do not keep out much noise, so woken by hovercraft noise, trains etc from across road, also paper thin walls that mean you hear everyone in other rooms and voices walking past.

It was very hot and they forgot to put a fan in my room but when ask one was supplied, the doors on the outside keep banging when other guests coming or going and the noise from some bikes rasing on the street below my window kept me up a long time during the night but the staff in the restaurant and hotel are great.

Room too hot. I booked with twin beds, but the room was with double bed! The receptionist asked us at 22pm if we want another room. Only a fan in the room, couldn’t sleep much as it was too hot during the night. The room was near the main hallway door, so other visitors were going g up and down making noise going through that door all night. Also noises of people waking on the next floor, our room ceiling was trembling from time to time during the night. First time in this hotel, no room view, windows facing a wall and a roof very close to our room windows. Glad we only booked for a night. Breakfast and hotel location were nice.

Staff were friendly and it’s in an excellent location. Opposite the station and HoverPort. Beach and town in easy walking distance. They were happy for us to leave our luggage before checkin and also to let us leave our bikes in a back room overnight. The hotel is large and old and therefore maybe a little tired. Our room was a superior double with Seaview. The room was clean and an adequate size with a great view of hovercraft and beach. However due to the heatwave it was incredibly hot. As it’s an old Hotel there is no air con. Had the window open all night which meant you got the noise from pub next door as well as the road, train and the hovercraft. Not a complaint but something to bear in mind when booking. If I stayed again I’d book a room at the rear of Hotel. We escaped the heat of our room sitting downstairs in the comfy lounge area with drinks from the bar. Breakfast was adequate but nothing to be excited about.

Room was clean, dining room staff friendly, breakfast was usual buffet and was okay. Porridge was good. Nice hotel at esplanade on seafront opposite Hovercraft station. No parking though. Reception not that helpful really when we first arrived with regard to parking which is when you need the advice. Should inform guests more about the possibilities for parking. Paid for premier room for 3 nights, got Room 1 which was above the kitchen, in this hot weather all windows are open so lots of noise and cooking smells coming into our room through window, starting at 06.30am so not really very restful. Due to this would not stay again, I know that it's an older building and didn't expect too much but that particular room was not great for the money charged. How is it Premier?

All staff are extremely helpful and courteous. The room was very clean and comfortable. Excellent location for the town, the bus and train station and hover craft, however the hovercraft is quite noisy if your room at the front of the building. Good food at all meals and the free cooked breakfast was a real bonus.

We booked a superior sea view room and it was lovely and spacious with comfy beds and good amenities. Completely let down by one of the worst full English breakfasts we’ve ever had. Dry, over-cooked and poor quality food. Would not return based on this.
