"Great Premier Inn"

We regularly use Premier Inn for short stays, so we're familiar with the format and what to expect. This Premier Inn didn't disappoint. From checking in, to checking out, all of the staff we encountered at the desk and at breakfast were welcoming and friendly. The room was clean and tidy. The only thing that could have improved our stay would have been the room temperature. This was set centrally and as the windows didn't open, it did get quite hot. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and we will definitely return.

"Clean but oh so poor with Wifi"

Stayed two nights on business and like all Premiers bed and food of similar food standard. BUT Wi-Fi does not work and no mobile signal. Had to do my work in my car in the car park. Asked for assistance with inoperative Wi-Fi and told that it wasn’t their problem but they would give me phone number of Virgin who supplied the Wi-Fi so I could sort it myself. At £100 a night I expect better service than this and had paid based on what was a non existent Wi-Fi. To cap it all in these difficult times no-one of the staff were wearing face masks even when close to customers at reception or in corridors. Covid is free and provided but WiFi not it seems. Chef at breakfast wearing face shield. A real no no as vapour condensed and drips on food! Masks only in kitchens. Sorry but next time it won’t be this unhelpful hotel unfit for business visitors.

"No signal"

The room is the usual Premier inn that I have stayed in many times before. The staff are great and the room is clean and care is taken re Covid. Our mobile phones on different networks do not work and the cell-link on the IPad is no better.

"Great stay"

We stayed for 2 nights and everything was made extremely Covid safe. There were Sanitizer stands around and screens. Breakfast was staggered and table service. Just make sure to ask for extra pillows as we only had 1 each. The staff were excellent and helpful. Well done Premier Inn Sandown.

"Noisy air con"

Horrible stay. No opening windows and natural air flow so had to use air con. The noise was distracting and kept up awake, had to turn off in the end! 10pm at night, so reported in the morning. Won't be staying again

Hotel description Get ready for a 'kiss me quick' snap when you stay at our Isle of Wight Sandown (Merrie Gardens) hotel. We're a 5 minutes drive from one of the UK's most loved beaches, not to mention all of your favourite beachfront amusements, from crazy golf to the arcades. After a day out enjoying the fresh air, relax in your super comfy, kingsize Hypnos bed and settle in for a great night's sleep.
