The staff at The Wight clearly care about their job & were very warm & keen to help. There is excellent information available about the island. The hotel is dated, but very clean, coordinated & in good repair. The photos advertised were accurate. We didn't try the facilities as only stayed one night. Breakfast was cooked to order & we were able to chose our items individually. It was basic but reasonable. Soya milk available for me as a vegan, but no vegan spread or protein alternatives. The mattresses could do with being replaced as they were a bit soft & the springs could be felt a bit. On the whole would recommend for someone staying in the area.

Very conveniently located, with plenty of parking. Staff very helpful. Shower room was quite small, with a big step into the shower,which may be a challenge for the less mobile.Couldn't get kettle under the tap to fill it up. Swimming pool was an added bonus, with jacuzzi, sauna & steam room. Breakfast very good. Decor bit dated, but everywhere clean.

The Wight Holiday

Our stay at the Wight Hotel in Sandown was absolutely brilliant. Full Monty breakfast was first class. The staff were great - nothing was too much trouble for them; so friendly and helpful. we were made to feel very welcome and soon made ourselves at home enjoying the friendly Wight atmosphere and all the services which were available. some great nights in the bar with the entertainment. The hotel is located close to all the amenities and bus stops. what more could you want for a great holiday in a great hotel.

For all the important stuff: staff knowledge, information given when checking in (in regards to local services etc), peace etc. The Wight was exactly what I needed. I was allowed to check in early with no hassle/extra fees. The staff were always friendly and helpful if I needed anything, but the welcome book provided so much information that I rarely needed to ask questions.

We usually stay in 4* accomodation and we didn't feel that The Wight 'hit that mark' Our room was serviced daily however, not to a particular high standard of cleanliness especially in the bathroom which definitely needed a refurbishment however, must mention the lovely white fluffy towels which were appreciated. A glass rather than plastic cups would also be more 4* in the rooms. The chairs weren't relaxing and too low for sitting on to dry hair infront of the mirror! The full Monty breakfasts were obviously popular with many guests but we would have appreciated a better healthy option with more fresh fruit with our breakfast. When asking for a cup of tea in the bar area, milk in a jug would be more in keeping with 4 star rather than long life milk in a plastic container! staff were friendly but somehow we felt The Wight had a lack of atmosphere to help enhance an otherwise enjoyable holiday.
