Father and son trip

A pretty hotel with pleasant friendly staff. Fabulous views and great location. Our room was a decent size but roasting hot even with the windows open and the fan on. The single beds were comfortable but felt unsteady and as if they’d fall over with any movement. We both had a poor nights sleep. Breakfast was good and included.

We enjoyed our three night stay at The Brunswick Hotel very much. We had two rooms for five of us. We particularly enjoyed the dining room with its beautiful view of the sea. Breakfast was included and the choices were delicious. In the evening the Billiard Room was a comfortable place to have a drink and review the day. We also thought the Sunday Roast was outstanding. The dining room staff as well as the front desk staff were inviting, helpful, and efficient. The Hotel was a great homebase for our trips to the Osbourne House and Godshill. There were plenty of restaurants to walk to nearby. The path along the water was stunning. We made wonderful memories on the Isle of Wight! *(The rooms could use some updating.)

Great location for the beach and town. Nice hotel. Staff are friendly but not really efficient. The youngsters dealing with breakfast could really benefit from more training and perhaps supervision. Getting a drink in the evening can be laborious unfortunately. Room was comfortable but walls are thin due to the age of the hotel. Overall pleasant.

Lovely hotel

Lovely hotel. Beautiful views. Excellent breakfast. Comfy bed. Powerful shower. Really friendly and accommodating staff. One very minor negative - only 2 plug sockets in room, which accommodated the tv and kettle, so makes it tricky to charge phones, dry/straighten hair etc. But I'd definitely stay again

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Although the room was clean and tidy, there were a few problems. 1. The Shower ran hot and cold. Did not maintain a steady temperature. Sometimes went cold and then very hot. 2. There were no bedside table lights and the pull chord light on wall above bed head did not work! You had to get out of bed and turn main light out. ( Not good). 3. There were no USB ports or sockets by the bed to use mobile when in bed. ( Not good at all). 4. Breakfast was very good and service excellent . 5. The Duvet cover only just fitted across the bed and pillows were hard. 6. Lounge area and bar were very comfortable and tidy.

Money spent on downstairs , bedrooms and bathrooms need updating paintwork very chipped and the furniture, power points not in the places.showers need to have a shelf and asked for rubber mat did not feel safe keep bending down for the toiletries. Beds uncomfortable and asked for a topper I used a duvet the first night. I had a Seaview room and the view was amazing but the price I paid and the state of the room was definitely not worth the price .

Lovely Hotel, Passable Room

Whilst the general Hotel facilties were fairly good, the room itself left more to be desired. The Toilet/Shower was quite small for a Superior room, and there were spots of peeling wallpaper in the room and not much colour. The View from the room was lovely though, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the location is very nice.
