Hotel staff very helful and friendly, good food, waitress service excellent, food served to tables quickly. Only 1 problem, water jugs and water on tables somewhat limited. Rooms basic but adequate, quiet street, easy to sleep at night. Nice pubs and shops just 5minutes walk away, beach also 5mins walk. more

just returned from long weekend food was awful mostly uneatable i know the hotel is basic and very cheap but even so standards very low rooms small and dirty and alcohol very bad, beer was undrinkable and gave many people upset stomachs , staff were reasonably helpful but trying hard to cover over a poor managed and financed establishment. more

Just returned from a Mon-Fri break, bit worried by certain adverse comments, but very pleasantly surprised. The hotel is basic, certain areas , including bedrooms need decorating, but current management are tackling this bit by bit.

The tea/coffee facilities in the room are awful - one teabag per person, 1 milk etc. No water jug on the table, its... more

Only just returned from a Mon-Frid stay at the Medhamstede Hotel, i was one of a group off a bus tour from South Wales. We were originally booked to stay at another hotel in Sandown and were changed to this hotel a few weeks before departure. Good value for money here, i'd say,a good varied choice of meals and a... more

My wife and I booked a bargain coach break for 3 nights over the Easter weekend. We booked a late deal at a bargain price, so our expectations were limited. We had a good room (57) on the top floor of the east block anex with a good sea view from the bay window. The room was quite large with... more

My stay was with a coach tour and whilst the hotel is in a good location with very friendly and helpful staff and also superb food it was sadly let down by the shabby room i stayed in which was very dated and in need of redecoration and basic items such as a shower tray that isnt broken and a... more
