Reviews and Ratings
I recently spent four nights at this hotel, and I was glad it wasn't longer. The room layout was quite odd, with part of the bathroom in the bedroom, but after raising my concerns, I was moved to a more suitable family room. While the food was abundant, it leaned too heavily on quantity rather than quality. The decor and furniture felt quite dated overall. Despite some nice elements, I wouldn't return to this hotel for my next visit to the Isle of Wight.
I had a lovely experience at the Queensmead Hotel with its warm atmosphere and attentive staff. While the rooms are a bit dated, they are very clean and comfortable. The evening meals were plentiful and enjoyable. However, the hotel could benefit from some improvements in the room sizes, especially for those staying longer. Overall, it was a pleasant stay on the Isle of Wight.
I had a delightful stay at this hotel, with a beautifully decorated room and a super comfortable bed that made my nights restful. The staff were incredibly welcoming and made sure that my experience was enjoyable throughout. While I didn't get a chance to try the pool due to the weather, I was impressed by its inviting appearance. The dining options were tasty but could benefit from a bit more variety on the menu.
I had a lovely stay at The Queensmead Hotel, which felt like a cozy traditional guest house. The breakfast and dinner were plentiful and catered well to my vegetarian needs. However, I did experience some noise from upstairs at night, which detracted a bit from the experience. Overall, the personal touches and warm atmosphere made it a delightful holiday.
I recently enjoyed a lovely stay at QueensMead. The hotel has a charming atmosphere and great service from the attentive staff. Our room was spotless and cozy, making our stay very comfortable. However, the pool area could use a bit more attention regarding cleanliness, and the decor in some rooms felt quite outdated. Overall, it's a nice place to stay if you're looking for a welcoming environment and good food.
Our stay had its highs and lows. On one hand, the food was consistently delicious and the service staff were really sweet and accommodating. On the downside, the rooms felt quite cramped and could use some serious updating. While the hotel has potential, the issues with layout and aging facilities make it hard to justify the cost.
I received such a warm welcome from the owners and enjoyed a spacious room with a great vibe. However, I encountered some issues with maintenance that need addressing to enhance the overall experience. The pool area was lovely and heated, which was a highlight during my stay. Despite the minor inconveniences, the atmosphere of the hotel made for a pleasant getaway.
I just returned from a wonderful stay at this hotel where the staff genuinely went above and beyond to ensure our experience was memorable. The food served was consistently delicious, and the hospitality was heartwarming. Although not everything was perfect – the room size could use improvement – the overall value for money makes me eager to return.
I had a mixed experience during my stay. The hospitality of the owners was exceptional, and I felt genuinely welcomed. However, the dining service was slower than expected, and my room had some maintenance issues that detracted from my comfort. Overall, while the care and attention from the owners stood out, there are several areas needing improvement to make it truly enjoyable.
We had a lovely week at this hotel with delicious breakfasts and a relaxing heated pool area. The owners were incredibly accommodating and made us feel welcome. However, the room we had was a bit cramped for our needs, especially with the oxygen machine, and there were some maintenance issues that could use addressing.
