We have recently spent a great week in a suite at the Ocean Hotel & Apartments. All the staff were very welcoming friendly and efficient, and nothing was too much trouble for any of them. It is well worth the little extra cost to have a sea view. The room was a very generous size with comfortable and clean beds... More

When I booked a sea view room I didn't expect the window would be so high up that I would need to stand on tiptoes to see out. The windows were filthy and covered by some office blind that didn't block out those glaring street lights. The room felt tired and make-shift and I quickly worked out that it was... More

I had stayed at Ocean Hotel & Apts twice before and so knew that the apartments were really spacious with wonderful sea views. This large white building on the seafront houses both a hotel and apartments and you really do have the advantages of both. There is a fully-equipped kitchenette so that you can self-cater; yet there is also the... More

A group of 8 of us stayed in the apartments on new years eve. We had great rooms - excellent value for money! The rooms are quiet and with great sea views, you could almost dive into the sea from your window! The welcome was very warm, the receptionist was great, so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place.

Fantastic facilities and fantastic staff!! Nothing was too much trouble. Apartment was very comfortable and met our every needs.Had a problem with electricity on first night, which was sorted out straight away. Staff went above and beyond to help my elderly father while I was at work. Would recommend these facilities, first class. Food in the bar was excellent too.... More

Great location and generally very friendly and obliging staff. Room was kept very clean - rather overpowering smell of disinfectant. Disappointing in all other areas, however. Room had no carpets or curtains (other than thin blinds), very echoey and unwelcoming. Heating did not work, and it took 3 days to get it sorted - took them 2 days to provide... More

We had a two bedroom apartment and were amazed at the size! The views over the Solent were amazing. The decor was tired and furnishings basic, but it was such good value! Staff were very helpful and we had a wonderful time.

We had a 5 night stay at the Ocean Hotel and had a suite. The view from the large windows was fantastic. Chrissy the Manageress was really helpful and friendly, and the suite was perfect for our needs. The paintwork is a little tired, but the warmth of the staff, the position of the hotel and the fabulous views made... More
