The room was clean and very comfortable. The staff were very friendly. The breakfast was very nice and the beach was only a five minute walk from the hotel. The bed was also very comfortable. I used the hot tub and the sauna and thoroughly enjoyed both. I would recommend it to my family. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Overall experience was ok, but i'll look for something else next time. Negatives: Very tiny room and bathroom, in poor condition, could barely move around. We were put into a room at the back of the property (like an annex) although the hotel didn't seem busy at all, possibly because we were with our dog, but you'd think you get a slightly bigger room at least. Staff is polite but not welcoming, I felt like I was doing them a favour by being their guest. Positives: Close to the village, beach, restaurants/pubs. Lovely interior in reception/lobby area and nice bar.

Q for quirky decor. Room 10 was about the size of a sea cabin. "Compact" is being generous.It suits single ocupancy only. Bar area comfortable. Good choice of drinks. Hotel is close to the sea front so convenient.

We had a lovely 3 night stay at the “Q” Perfect venue near the beach and a very short walk into Shanklin town. Rooms were nice and the pool and spa terrace was really nice. The couple who run the “Q” are very attentive and helpful. One small downside is the parking is not as straightforward as you would like, but it did not detract from having a great stay.

The Q Boutique Hotel - I thought that this was the QHotel chain but realised on arrival it wasnt! Having a pool and hot tub was great - made the holiday! All the furniture at the hotel was lovely vey chic! The bar area was nice. Breakfast was great! Rooms poorly decorated, BE WARNED…water pressure for the shower was a trickle, tv in room was too big as a standalone tv and was huge (need a smaller tv and on the wall). Squeaky and uncomfortable bed.

Comfortable hotel with friendly staff in a good position in Shanklin with everything walkable in a short period. Staff were friendly and the cooked breakfast was enjoyed very much. Had a nightcap in the bar one evening and chatted to the lovely Laura who looked after us. Small irritation was shower was very under powered (think hot mist) room 23 but other than that all good and will return.

Lovely hotel, we would definitely return!

The hotel was lovely, very modern, gorgeous décor and impeccably clean. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Great location in Shanklin, only a street away from the lift which takes you down onto the beach and only a short walk to restaurants, gift shops and the local convenience shop. I would recommend the Q Hotel if you are planning on visiting Shanklin :-)

Friendliness of team, well managed and nothing too much trouble. We paid for the upgraded room and it was very comfortable, quiet and a sea view, well worth it. Sometimes hot water in the shower was an issue but had a bath instead. Dining room and bar area very modern and a lovely place to eat breakfast and sit and chat.
