I wish I had done my research on Trip Advisor first before visiting here. We went as two couples to spend a nice weekend on the Isle of Wight, and I booked this hotel based on its own website, with claims of being one of the finest hotels in Sandown, and luxury amenities. I'm afraid our experience was quite different... More

I have just spent a week in the smallest depressing room ever! I asked for an upgrade but was told they were fully booked. The bathroom was so small I had to dry and dress myself in the bathroom. The bed was clean but very squeaky. The wardrobe and dressing table were meant for a child. After talking to other... More

Thank you for your review following your recent stay at our Hotel. Firstly I must point out that the size of our single rooms comply with Key Hotel Standards which makes them acceptable for one person. If the bathroom was so small, I am surprised you dried and dressed yourself in there. We do not have any childrens furniture in... More

We spent 4 nights at the hotel and I would say that the fact the hotel is on the pier is the only thing going for it!. The accomodation was poor, with dusty bedding. The accomodation stated that hotel has indoor heated pool, the pool is in fact only big enough for two/three small children. There is no way adult... More

Thank you for your review following your recent stay at our Hotel. We are sorry you were disappointed with your break. I am surprised you never brought it to our attention that you thought the bedding was "dusty" as it is changed on every change over. I found your comment about the pool quite amusing as the pool is 22ft... More

Spent 3 nights at the Royal Pier as part of a coach party from Just Go! Holidays. Despite pretty horrendous weather, we had a most enjoyable time. The hotel location, just opposite the pier, is wonderful and once on the promenade it is possible to walk traffic free the two miles to Sandwich seafront. The hotel is gradually being updated...

We had a great weekend 20th/23rd April, with excellent service from warm and friendly staff.The hotel generally was very clean and tidy with good services and entertainment.The food was of a high standard and the staff helpful. Our only gripe was our bedroom (19) which did not seem to be a double in size (we are not very large people)... More

We were part of a coach party from Chesterfield with Nova Tours. Almost ev erything about our short trip was good including the weather. The hotel was on the sea front and just five minutes away from the shopping street. Our room was adequate, rather small but fine for a few days' stay. Reception was efficient and helpful.

Once again we have enjoyed a wonderful weekend break at the Royal Pier Hotel in Sandown. Our stay didn't include turkey and tinsel but we really appreciated the fact that the management included it in our weekend break at no extra cost to the customers, including presents from 'Santa'. This hotel is by far the best in Sandown for quality,... More

having just returned from a weekend break at this hotel,(on a coach trip) i felt i needed to say, what a lovely hotel, plenty of entertainment, lovely food, and pleasant staff, and a comfortable bedroom,( room 7 ) what more could you ask for, from a bargain break. well done, you certainly get what you pay for.
