Search Chalets in Cowes

"Before we got there, I knew the hotel by repute since nineteen seventy, in fact. First of all, the receptionist was helpful knowledgeable and expecting us. There is nothing nicer than being greeted by name. We did not pay for a large room but the bed did not dominate. There were two comfortable chairs, and the desk doubled as a dressing table with mirror. The wooden wardrobe had that good wood smell. When I checked the top for dust before putting spare pillows up there out of the way I found that even the top of the wardrobe had been dusted! The courtesy tray had high quality products. The double bed was comfortable, and we both slept well. The bathroom had a full-on bath with both shower head and douche. The soap, shampoo, and conditioner were top quality. There was neither one spec of dust nor even a hint of mould around the bath. We were delighted. We used the library to meet friends and enjoy a drink one evening. What are comfortable and lovely setting. Breakfast in the main breakfast room was a high quality buffet, full english, alongside a fair range of uncooked choices. All staff turned out to be attentive, well spoken, and courteous. The public halls and stairs, which we used, we're comfortable very well decorated with a range of interesting pictures and objects. Depending on how you view price, I found a place to be exceptionally good value. Others pay more, but this place steps up to be worthy of your custom and hard earned money."

"We had booked two overnight stays at the start and end of a cruise. While on bith occasions we arrived at the hotel well ahead of normal check-in time, we only had to wait a short time until our room was available. This was very good as it was tiring after a long journey. The hotel is convenient for cruising from Southampton as it is only a short distance to the ferry terminal, but the hotel provided a complimentary transfer on the embarkation day. However, it at £229 for an overnight stay it is not cheap with breakfast additional. WE didn't have dinner at the hotel, so can't comment, but did have drinks in the bar on our second stay. Not cheap there either, but staff helpful and friendly."

"Very clean and staff friendly. Dinner in Bar was lovely"

"Reception and dining area lovely and clean as was our room. Staff very friendly and helpful."

"Very convenient location to explore Portsmouth. Parking in the Gunwharf Centre was easy and only £2 for a 2 night stay. Make sure you have your parking ticket endorsed at Reception when you check in. The hotel breakfast was good and plenty of options."

"Lovely friendly staff food was a little underwhelming - portions quite small but ok Room was very comfortable with good views"

"Very well kept nice room bit to far away from reception for me"

"i didnt have breakfast"

"Possibly my top experience EVER in a hotel stay! Staff were always available, extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The layout was really perfect with a bar/resturaunt downstairs. Every detail in the room had been thought out: a motion sensitive light under the bed so if you got up at night, it lit the floor. Comfortable bedding and pillows. Easy access to lighting and phone charging. Everything very clean and organized. Nice, modern decor. The location was great, within easy walking distance shops, food and historical sites. All in all, it could not have been more perfect!"
