This is the first time I have visited the Channel View Hotel in Shanklin since my husband's passing. in December 2011 and the welcome I received from Gill (wife of one of the owners) was exceptional. As usual, the Hotel was spotless and the food out of this world. Everybody in the coach was overwhelmed by the quality, friendliness, cleanliness... More

The Channel View Hotel is a nice hotel offering a warm friendly service - BUT it is geared up for coach parties and little else, I was here as part of a coach holiday and expected nothing else. It is not the sort of hotel you would use for independent or business travel. Our room was reasonably sized with dual... More

Dear Dave JC, Stowmarket In reply to your review on trip advisor, firstly we would have welcomed the opportunity to talk to you about your observations and complaints whilst you were here. We could then have rectified both the heating and the towels (system in room folder). Thank you for pointing out our fire sign, we will check the regulations... More

Probably the best three star hotel we have stayed at. We were not on a tour. We changed our day to arrive, ferry time and this proved no problem, everything went smoothly and the changes were made. This Hotel may look austere from the outside and not the most inviting, but don’t let this put you off. It is three... More

Myself and my wife stayed for 2 nights, and can honestly say it's a lovely hotel. The guys running and working the hotel are friendly and professional, offering a very efficient, high quality service. The rooms are very clean, extremely comfortable and well looked after. The view we had from room 56 was nothing short of stunning, especially as we... More

We haved stayed at this super hotel twice a year for the last 10 years. Our last 'Turkey and Tinsel Dec 2011' visit was still exceptional. The room, views and facilities were super and our daily swim prepared us for a great evening meal. In recent years the hotel has improved it's choice of gluten free food, which make the... More

I stayed at the Channel View Hotel with my partner and daughter, who is in her twenties. I absolutely adore the Isle of Wight and we were really looking forward to our stay. Normally we just book hotels on a bed and breakfast rate but then find that most of our money is spent on food so, this time, we... More

What can I say? Fantastic. Wonderful. Sublime. The wife and I stayed for a long weekend in April (sorry for the delay) shortly before our son was born. Everything was perfect; food wonderful; service wonderful; pool wonderful. We are planning to return with our son next summer and I cannot wait to take the boy to the pool every morning.... More
