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.

Lovely hotel

Lovely hotel. Beautiful views. Excellent breakfast. Comfy bed. Powerful shower. Really friendly and accommodating staff. One very minor negative - only 2 plug sockets in room, which accommodated the tv and kettle, so makes it tricky to charge phones, dry/straighten hair etc. But I'd definitely stay again

Lovely Hotel, Passable Room

Whilst the general Hotel facilties were fairly good, the room itself left more to be desired. The Toilet/Shower was quite small for a Superior room, and there were spots of peeling wallpaper in the room and not much colour. The View from the room was lovely though, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the location is very nice.

Great hotel with fabulously friendly, helpful staff. Breakfasts were varied and well cooked and the evening meal we had one night was excellent - the dining room overlooks the sea which was great. Our trip was in early March so somewhat out of season, and places we wanted to visit were closed (especially on Mon/Tues) but staff came up with other ideas of where to go including recommendations for lunch. Room was clean, spacious and warm, if a little tired/dated, but good supplies of tea/coffee etc. Shower was good and hot water plentiful. Swimming pool looked lovely too. Definitely recommend!

Decent oldish hotel.

Overall it was a wonderful stay, though we had a couple of "little niggles" which took the edge off of it. On two occasions there was no water supply to our room for short periods of time, (just as we wanted to shower!), and on one day our room was not serviced by the chambermaid, even though I went to the front desk twice to ask, when they seemed to be running very late, and was told that they had finished for the day. Anyway, our room was clean and the beds were extremely comfortable, and a good breakfast every day too. Generally happy though.

Nice October break in Shanklin

This hotel is really well located, for both the esplanade and the old town; 5 minutes walk to the esplanade and 6 minutes to the old town where there are a selection of pubs, restaurants and tea rooms. There are incredible sea views and it is on the coastal path. It is easy to reach all attractions on the island by car. The staff are all friendly and helpful, they noticed my wife was having difficulty with mobility at check-in and offered a ground floor room. We ate at the hotel's Horizon restaurant on our first evening, and had a well cooked and presented dish of roast lamb rump with interesting accompaniments, red cabbage, pomme puree, and parsnip crisps. The desserts were also tasty and attractively presented. We had breakfast included. There is a continental selection and you are able to order a good variety of cooked options. Altogether a very enjoyable stay on the island.

Needs an upgrade - do not rely on website informat

Initial impression on arrival outside, reception and bar area good. Staff friendly. However the stairs and bedroom were very scruffy and in need of a total refurbishment. The curtains were not hung properly so light came in very early, bed sheets did not fit. The outdoor pool was half full and full of debris. Whilst there the water was topped up but pool not cleaned. The sauna was out of action due to an incident with a child and the jacuzzi had not worked for a year according to receptionist. This was booked as a birthday treat for my husband. The hotel website and your link described a high end restaurant ‘fine dining experience’ which I hoped to book for a birthday meal. However on arrival the only offering was basic bar meals and no food option on the Monday evening so had to go into local town in the rain to find somewhere to eat. The hotel website is very misleading. If I had known all the above I would not have booked. I did suggest to the receptionist that they need to remove the present description of the hotel as it was not helpful. She replied they have a new website but the only ones I found waxed lyrical about the dining experience.

Great Hotel, Lovely Staff & Wonderful Food

The Brunswick is a delight. 8 of us (family & friends) stayed for three nights & we all look forward to visiting again. The hotel is under new ownership; who are moving the Brunswick a step above the competition, offering a standard of service & food that was so good it made our stay on the Isle a delight. From first arrival to the moment we left, the staff were wonderful, friendly & helpful. They made every minute in the hotel lovely. The rooms were spotlessly clean & were cleaned as we ate breakfast each morning. The restaurant food is exceptional, far better that we can recall having in any hotel: Fine dining at reasonable prices. Our whole group agreed that if we lived in the area we would all visit the hotel just for the restaurant experience. Two of our party, including me, are Coeliac (Gluten intolerant), which makes stays in hotels & visits to restaurants always a bit of a concern. The attentiveness of the hotel management, staff & kitchen staff was second to none. By being exceptional, all of our concerns were removed, & we could simply enjoy our lovely breakfasts & evening meals. The indoor pool is spotless, the rooms were spotless, the bar comfortable & of course also spotless & the overall ambience a delight. Okay, they still need to tidy some of the carpets & some rooms may need an update, but after a few months ownership they have already made the Brunswick a delight to stay in or eat at. I strongly recommend you visit the Brunswick Hotel.
