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.

Verified traveler

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Room comfort
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.

Great stay

Just had a one night stay at The Wight, first impressions were very dated and tired. The staff there were amazing, so helpful and friendly and really made it for us. The girls used the pool and went down in the evening for table tennis. Comfy beds and clean kettle so winning!! Easy parking big plus.

Superb place to stay

We arrived and were met by a lovely lady who was very informative and made us feel really welcome which was great. Breakfast was really good and Terry in the morning was great and chatty. Room was very clean and large ( we did get a superior double). All of the staff were great and nothing was too much trouble and the knowledge of the area was a blessing. Being off the road was also good and the car park is large enough. We will definitely be back for another visit soon. Thank you all John and Sheila Room 148
