About 60 of us arrived at once but we were soon in our room with help with our suitcases. Excellent sea-view room with balcony. Suspect it is well worth paying the extra for a sea view. Room was clean and comfortable. Best location in Sandown right opposite the beach. The food was good but lacked a little imagination, but this... More

Stayed at the Carlton for a recent ladies festival. The location of the hotel is perfect right by the pier but it can be difficult to find somewhere to park near as the pay and display bays on the sea front are popular. Hotel is rather tired in parts but is currently being refurbished. Our room was small and basic... More

Room 344 was great lovely view balcony and lots of space. The hotel was great the staff really friendly especially Adam and Sophie. They worked really hard because they were short staffed. The entertainment was ok on all three nights. The location was perfect. The only small glip on the horizon was the food was a little unimaginative and bland... More

We stayed at the Carlton over the Easter holiday on a room only basis and couldn't fault the friendliness and cleanliness of the place. Its location was perfect for the seafront and the shops.

Thank you very much for your review. I have to agree that Neptune was particularly harsh over the Easter weekend! There is WiFi access in the Recption and bar area and the code is available from Reception for our guests. I hope to be able to welcome you back in the near future. More
