We enjoyed our three night stay at The Brunswick Hotel very much. We had two rooms for five of us. We particularly enjoyed the dining room with its beautiful view of the sea. Breakfast was included and the choices were delicious. In the evening the Billiard Room was a comfortable place to have a drink and review the day. We also thought the Sunday Roast was outstanding. The dining room staff as well as the front desk staff were inviting, helpful, and efficient. The Hotel was a great homebase for our trips to the Osbourne House and Godshill. There were plenty of restaurants to walk to nearby. The path along the water was stunning. We made wonderful memories on the Isle of Wight! *(The rooms could use some updating.)

Although the room was clean and tidy, there were a few problems. 1. The Shower ran hot and cold. Did not maintain a steady temperature. Sometimes went cold and then very hot. 2. There were no bedside table lights and the pull chord light on wall above bed head did not work! You had to get out of bed and turn main light out. ( Not good). 3. There were no USB ports or sockets by the bed to use mobile when in bed. ( Not good at all). 4. Breakfast was very good and service excellent . 5. The Duvet cover only just fitted across the bed and pillows were hard. 6. Lounge area and bar were very comfortable and tidy.

Try alternative accommodation in Shanklin.

Dated rooms, unclean carpets, basic necessities missing from the room, no one at checkin, charged like a 4 star stay and basic amenities and hygiene missing from the room. It’s NOT EVEN a 2 STAR Hotel! Pure rip off of the money you pay. Please stay clear. The only good thing was the breakfast. Period.

Great hotel

A lovely hotel in a superb location overlooking the sea. The staff went over and above on service, especially at Reception when we had a query and also at breakfast. The breakfast was really nice, with a good selection of cooked options and plenty of juice and other options. We made good use of the indoor and outdoor pool and were really lucky with the weather. We look forward to visiting the Brunswick again!

The hotel location is fantastic; breakfast was excellent, and the staff are very friendly. The swimming pool and sauna room are definitely a value-added. The rooms are bit dated, but we spend most of the times outside.

Father and son trip

A pretty hotel with pleasant friendly staff. Fabulous views and great location. Our room was a decent size but roasting hot even with the windows open and the fan on. The single beds were comfortable but felt unsteady and as if they’d fall over with any movement. We both had a poor nights sleep. Breakfast was good and included.

Money spent on downstairs , bedrooms and bathrooms need updating paintwork very chipped and the furniture, power points not in the places.showers need to have a shelf and asked for rubber mat did not feel safe keep bending down for the toiletries. Beds uncomfortable and asked for a topper I used a duvet the first night. I had a Seaview room and the view was amazing but the price I paid and the state of the room was definitely not worth the price .
