We had five terrible days at the Carlton hotel, Sandown, Isle of Wight. It was awful; the room was very small, dirty and in need of updating and decorating. The food was terrible, overcooked, burnt, lukewarm and small portions. There were no table glasses or jugs of... more

We stayed with our walking group for 5 nights in April 1020 and were concerned having read several poor reviews. We found the hotel clean, the room very acceptable and the food good. This hotel caters for coach parties and we found it quite acceptable for its type, in... more

My wife came away with bed bug bites from this hotel. I know these creatures probably came in with a guest, but the unclean condition of the room makes it an ideal habitat. The rooms were not cleaned properly during the day, I don't think the room was vacuumed once during... more

Rooms not clean. No shower gel provided... Is this the only hotel in the world that does not provide shower gel? When we arrived the place stank of cabbage! Grubby marks all over the doors. The sheets were clean but that's the only good thing about this run down hotel.
