I stayed as a large group. It was comfortable and clean and the rooms were a nice size. Though some rooms are not en-suite. There is one room where there are three cubicles, two showers and one toilet. I found that a little strange. The food is not brilliant but they give you plenty. I found the decor not so... More

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we found the hotel to be a perfect choice in every aspect. The owners were so welcoming. When we arrived we were greeted and asked how was our journey etc. We were shown to our room and told if there was anything we needed or wanted to just come and... More

The Esplanade is good value for money, in that you don't pay much, but get a pretty good deal; basic but clean rooms, very friendly host, perfectly OK breakfast. We (2 adults, 3 kids) stayed in one of the 2 'family suites', which to be honest were a masterpiece of creative photography on the website - although the rooms were... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Kevin and Rose were wonderful hosts. The sea views were stunning and the beach even more.

My wife and I visited the Esplanade Hotel in Shanklin for five nights in August 2011. On arrival we were shown to our room (no 4) which was spacoius, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The room had a large king size bed, a three piece sofa/chairs and a great balcony overlooking the sea. The room was a great place to relax... More

Great B&B on the seafront with a lovely view. We were a small family group and stayed in the Alverstone room and family suite, both having a great terrace next to each other with wonderful seaview. Unfortunately, the weather was not the best during our stay but certainly would be excellent when the weather is nice. Kevin, the owner, and... More

Having a love of the Isle of Wight it seemed an obvious choice to spend my 50th Birthday weekend there with my family. On arriving at the Esplanade Hotel I realised what a fantastic choice I had made. The owner Kevin makes you feel welcome immediately and both he and his wife could not do enough to make your stay...

We had a really super week! The proprieter, Kevin, did everything possible to make our stay happy and relaxing. He recommended us seeing the firework display at the end of the Shanklin regatta. From the balcony of the Alverton room, we had the best possible view of a really stunning firework display! The food is great! The breakfasts are freshly... More
