Had a lovely holiday at this hotel. It was warm and clean. Comfy beds. Friendly staff; nothing was too much trouble. Sara especially worked very hard to please everyone. Food was good and plentiful. Entertainment every evening. A very good choice by Williams Coach Travel, Cornwall.

Stayed at this hotel as a weekend break, Friendly staff made it easy and straight forward to book over the phone. Greeted by more friendly staff on arrival. The hotel is in a good location, near the beach via a slope and a short walk to the shops and restaurants in Shanklin. The rooms could do with a bit of... More

Decide to take a last minute break with friends on the Isle of Wight. Googled a few hotels and came up with the Melbourne Ardenlea in Shanklin.

We booked this hotel mainly because of the location and the indoor pool for the children. The location and staff were good but everything else was such a disappointment.

There were around 30 of us that stayed there this week on a bit of a jolly down to the seaside. We had an amazing time and I cannot understand why people have left poor reviews for this lovely, family-run hotel. The bar, restaurant, service, rooms, location and pool with jacuzzu were all amazing value for the price. Lovely, comfortable... More

The main lounge area smelled of booze, and the bar had loads of fruit flies in it which were buzzing around our drinks. The young guy working late on friday when we arrived was very helpful, but...

This was a last minute booking made to go with a friend to enjoy a few days of sun. The hotel staff were very friendly and accomodating. Breakfast was good. Rooms were clean. Cheap and cheerful really. Good location as only a few moments away from the beach and the old village.
