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.

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 However, the pool area could use a bit more attention regarding cleanliness, and the decor in some rooms felt quite outdated.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 just returned from a wonderful stay at this hotel where the staff genuinely went above and beyond to ensure our experience was memorable.

Although not everything was perfect – the room size could use improvement – the overall value for money makes me eager to return.
