We had a lovely short break at The Steamer for the second time. The room was a good size with a great sea view. Breakfast was served in the bar area and was plentiful and very tasty. We ate in the bar every night as the food was delicious and we didn't see any reason to venture further for food.

Room With A View - Welcoming Staff

Welcoming, hard working and professional staff. W enjoyed a sea view room with a balcony. We were able to check in early and shown to the room. Local maps, guides and bus time tables were available. The bathroom was tiled top to toe and the shower excellent. This is a good pub with accommodation above and good pub food. It is not The Ritz, nor does it pretend to be and offers a great location and reasonable prices. The breakfast was substantial, although we would have preferred a few lighter offerings such as yoghurt and fruit and/or cereals, but that is just our personal taste. Booking on the Hotels.Com site was a little confusing. The booking form had an Amex symbol and accepted the transaction. We then got a bounce back saying the payment had failed. On checking, they do not accept Amex. Not a problem, but it would have been nice to have been told this up front, so we could have used another card straight away. Maybe Hotels.Com could amend this.

Fantastic view from our room and the terraces, easy to walk to Shanklin or Sandown or use the buses. Its about time the woodchip was removed and the carpet replaced in the bedroom, but it was otherwise great as was the bathroom. Balcony had great sea view. Food in restaurant was consistently good.

Good friendly accommodation.

The Steamer was good accommodation, clean, tidy and good location. Parking is a bit of a chore but close.
