The hotel location is fantastic; breakfast was excellent, and the staff are very friendly. The swimming pool and sauna room are definitely a value-added. The rooms are bit dated, but we spend most of the times outside.

Great hotel
A lovely hotel in a superb location overlooking the sea.
The staff went over and above on service, especially at Reception when we had a query and also at breakfast.
The breakfast was really nice, with a good selection of cooked options and plenty of juice and other options.
We made good use of the indoor and outdoor pool and were really lucky with the weather.
We look forward to visiting the Brunswick again!

Father and son trip
A pretty hotel with pleasant friendly staff. Fabulous views and great location. Our room was a decent size but roasting hot even with the windows open and the fan on. The single beds were comfortable but felt unsteady and as if they’d fall over with any movement. We both had a poor nights sleep. Breakfast was good and included.

Try alternative accommodation in Shanklin.
Dated rooms, unclean carpets, basic necessities missing from the room, no one at checkin, charged like a 4 star stay and basic amenities and hygiene missing from the room. It’s NOT EVEN a 2 STAR Hotel! Pure rip off of the money you pay. Please stay clear. The only good thing was the breakfast. Period.

Money spent on downstairs , bedrooms and bathrooms need updating paintwork very chipped and the furniture, power points not in the places.showers need to have a shelf and asked for rubber mat did not feel safe keep bending down for the toiletries. Beds uncomfortable and asked for a topper I used a duvet the first night. I had a Seaview room and the view was amazing but the price I paid and the state of the room was definitely not worth the price .

Great location for the beach and town. Nice hotel. Staff are friendly but not really efficient. The youngsters dealing with breakfast could really benefit from more training and perhaps supervision. Getting a drink in the evening can be laborious unfortunately. Room was comfortable but walls are thin due to the age of the hotel. Overall pleasant.
