Fantastic view from our room and the terraces, easy to walk to Shanklin or Sandown or use the buses. Its about time the woodchip was removed and the carpet replaced in the bedroom, but it was otherwise great as was the bathroom. Balcony had great sea view.
Food in restaurant was consistently good.

Chilled out, comfortable stay in a great location
I was made to feel very comfortable as a lady solo traveller, everyone was very friendly especially the lady that served the breakfast. The food was amazing and being seated in a nice little table in the corner was perfect for me and I didn't feel isolated.... thank you so much. The view was amazing from the balcony and so nice to hear the waves whilst in bed. Will definitely be back, great stay!!

Perfect location looking across the Esplanade to the sea front. Excellent food served all day in a relaxed atmosphere by attentive staff. This great venue attracted a lot on non-resident customers and there was a real buzz as guests enjoyed their relaxed meal eating great food and enjoying a wide variety from the bar.. As residents we were recognised and welcomed and felt very looked after. This was a great base to explore the Island from,

First time in Isle of Wight.
3 day stay in The Steamer Inn with my twin sister.
The sea view twin room with balcony was very good for what we needed and was clean and presentable.
Breakfast was good with waitress service.
Staff very friendly and accommodating to our needs.
Restaurant very popular throughout the day and night and the meals we had were very good with fresh ingredients and a variety of choices.
Ideal location for direct access to the beach.
Lift or shuttle bus to Shanklin town and local attractions if you don’t fancy the steep walk.
With regular buses to other parts of island too.
Overall a very enjoyable stay at The Steamer Inn.

A beautiful location, friendly helpful staff, adequate breakfast but could offer cereals as an alternative to cooked.
More comfortable chairs needed in the guest rooms.

A welcoming Shanklin hotel in a great location.
When we arrived we were made to feel very welcome and all information was well explained. We found all the staff very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The food was excellent and very plentiful. There were a nice selection of real ales at the bar. Nice sea views from the room.

Location perfect with stunning sea views. Staff really helpful and friendly. Food very good. Very good value for money. Only criticism would be that the rooms are a bit dated. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel and we will be staying here again in the future.
