My wife and I stayed at The Ocean on a four-night Spring break for her birthday and as a kind of trial run knowing we could never adequately replicate the joy and fun we've previously experienced at another, smaller hotel in nearby Shanklin which, after eight years running, sadly cannot accommodate us this Christmas. We were pleasantly surprised at the... More

I Visited this hotel, with a group of 16 people, with ,after reading the mixed reviews, some trepidation. ' No problem' all ok , this is a holiday hotel , a little dated, but with some feeling of old day charm, my room, almost overlooking the pier, was very comfortable and roomy, the staff pleasant, efficient, if inobtrusive Dinner was...

I stayed at this hotel for a long weekend, we had a sea view room which was lovely & spacious, the staff were very friendly & very willing to help. The food was very good just enough on the plate. The only negative that I can say is that the bedding for the time of year was very minimal so... More

Unbelievable that places like this still exist. The breakfast was utterly appalling. We arrived at about 9 am, as breakfast finishes at 9.30am. The toast must have been done at 7am, so the staff can just take it out to customers when ever they arrive. I informed the waitress that it was cold and she put her hand on it... More

But now it's clean and nicely decorated and we had a good deal for 2 sea facing rooms. Breakfast is good with cereal and toast then full English and served very well... More

The Ocean hotel is lovely. It is old fashioned all the staff are nice and welcoming. If you like english food you will like the 3 course dinners. The breakfasts and lunches are good too. The evening entertaiment is good and you can do some dancing.The rooms with sea views are best. We are going to go here again as... More

We stayed at the hotel for two nights in September 2011. We stayed in a sea facing room which was delightful with a lovely view of the beach. The room was very clean and comfortable, the bed was comfy and we both slept very well, the bathroom was clean and had good quality soft towels. The food was very good... More

This hotel has a rather stayed appearance, just like it's customers. The room are clean and well maintained, but floors are creaking, wallpaper is peeling and TV is malfunctioning. Like ourselves, it has passed it's peak! Breakfast good but restricted to exactly what you ordered in the first palce with hardy any effords to replenish toast or coffee, hard working... More
