Stayed here of the may bank holiday 2013' while on the island for a wedding. Part of a group of 8. Friendly staff, arranged a table for us all in the morning - massive brekkie, you won't be disappointed, 10quids of anyone's money in London. Room clean and basic, but what you would expect, no qualms at all. They asked... More

We stopped off here while visiting the island for an evening meal. My husband had the chowder, which he really enjoyed and said was very tasty and well cooked. I had rump steak, which was really good, well cooked and very well presented. The portions were large but presented really nice. Staff were really friendly and helpful. We would certainly... More

Brilliant location, right by the beach. Very friendly staff. Menu caters for all tastes. Thoroughly enjoyed my smoked haddock gratin.Room 4 is a little tired with a shower over the bath but warm & a very comfy bed. Balcony looking out to sea. The breakfast.was huge & absolutely delicious. Excellent value for money at £30pppn & would definitely stay again.

Stayed at the Steamer Inn, Shanklin for two days mid-September 2012. The establishment is in a great location on Shanklin esplanade, with many local hostelries and restaurants close by, and only a short walk to Shanklin Chine and the Old Village. However, the Inn does not have a car park, and 24 hour parking nearby can cost up to £13... More

We have visited The Steamer Inn on a monthly basis over the last year or so and it's always been pretty good. The choice of meals is varied and the quality good. The portions are generous and you don't have to wait long for your meal. The staff are always friendly and attentive plus it's dog friendly with doggy treats.

Stayed in Shanklin for three days with my husband and friends.We decided to come to the Steamer after seeing brochures in our hotel. What a disappointment. I had lasagne with hardly any meat in it, my husband had a tough steam, and our friends had fish and chips which they said was average. It was very full in there which... More

This is a really nice bar restaurant sited right on the seafront. Plenty of room to eat and the food is excellent, as is the beer! The staff are all friendly and welcoming and the service is also really good. Really recommend a visit to the steamer.
