Service was appalling in that there was very little in the way of consideration and courtesy. Attitude of owner and staff small minded and unfriendly. The hotel has rules and there is no flexibility - staff and owner would rather spend 30 minutes arguing and claiming they could not prepare a breakfast for your friend if they were not present with the cooker being turned off and no offer of even tea and toast. Claims that it was against the law to cook breakfast when person not present at the table were followed by apparent Health and Safety argument of likely salmonella poisoning . . . sad that all this really masked a miserable and miserly approach to hospitality governed by greed and penny pinching.

Location is perfect in centre of Sandown. Do opt for the rooms with a view, it is really worth it. Beware that balconies are not separated, but was no problem for us as we had four rooms next eachother. Hosts really did everything to make us feel comfortable, and service at both dinner and breakfast was excellent. Parking a slight problem, lots of places around but limited to two hours during the day, so you might have to pay in a car park. Bus right outside, but if going to Shanklin, the train is faster and less than half price.

We stayed in a double balcony room with fantastic seaviews. The food and service was good and chris and sue were extremely friendly. I would definately stay there again.

my husband and i decided to go to porthmouth for the day and decided to pop across to the i.o.w for the day, as we arrived in sandown and found the place very pretty we decided to look for an hotel for the night. we found the belvedere hotel and asked if they had any rooms? we were told yes one room on the top floor, we said we would take it, but the gentleman in charge told us to check the room first to see if we would be happy with it. When we looked at the room with an en-suite bathroom,it was clean and had a beautiful view of the sea and the beach.Anyway we ended up staying 2 nights as we liked it so much, we did try the restaurant there during our stay and the food was delicious.
we liked it so much we are going back mid august.
