I was pleasantly surprised by Calvert's Hotel.
I initially booked for a two-night stay in Newport and extended it to a five-night stay as I was having such a nice time.
The hotel was kept very clean and the public rooms (reception and bar) were very well decorated and presented.
The room had a brand-new wooden sash window installed and a brand-new radiator, and the curtains seemed new too. 
The bed was comfortable, the furniture was smart, the view was excellent, the bath filled up well with plenty of hot water. 
I reported a small spillage on the staircase and it was cleaned up immediately. 
The location was fantastic - a stunning view of the Guildhall façade and right in the town centre, perfect for exploring the historical streets and squares. 
It was within walking distance to Carisbrooke Castle, which was a really interesting day out.
The staff were friendly and professional, and nothing was too much trouble for them. I was made to feel very welcome at the Hotel and I couldn't have enjoyed my stay more.
It was great to be able to walk down Quay Street and have breakfast at Quay Arts on the terrace overlooking the water in the late September sunshine.
It was extremely quiet overnight and I had such good nights sleep - it was so relaxing.
I can really recommend a stay at this historical hotel.

Excellent experience

This was my second stay at The Calvert's Hotel, and there customer service and helpfulness was fantastic. Thank you to Leah & Dan at reception, who even remembered me from a phone call in February, I was so impressed. The hotel and facilities are basic, but for the price and what you get is very good. the rooms were clean and tidy, the location and parking were very good and lots of places to see and explore also. I would definite return when i am next visiting.

Short and sweet stay.

I have been here for 6 weeks while looking for a flat on the island the service I got here was excellent the staff here was always on hand if I needed anything they are all polite and professional. My room was a double with a nice very comfortable double bed the bath in my room was amazing always had hot water the tv reception was a 100% on all channels.
I would recommend the Calvert’s to anyone that is going to the island for a holiday

Amazing

Very spacious twin room. Very clean. Decor in the room looked new. More places to hang things in bathroom would be useful. Lots of space to sit on ground floor.
Parking is on the street. Breakfast is available but we did not sample it this time as we needed to move the car by 8am so we decided to go onto our next destination. 
Really liked the staff - very friendly and helpful. Deserves more visitors. Would be good if they plumbed in their smartlooking coffee machine, too.

Really welcoming staff and a quirky building

My friend and I stayed in room 18 (a family room consisting of a double bed, a single bed and an en-suite) during this year’s Isle of Wight music festival.  I was delighted when the lovely Vicky in the bookings department contacted me around 9 months after I’d asked to be included on the waiting list to tell me that Calverts had a room for us.  Having later read the reviews I was a little nervous, but still happy that we would be only a 15 minute walk from the festival site.  I didn’t expect much and was delighted with what we found.  The room was very clean, the bed linen crisp and the room was light and airy.  Fresh towels were offered when needed, the all important loo roll topped up during a daily maid service (which I definitely hadn’t been expecting) and tea and coffee facilities provided.  Previous reviews will alert you to the fact that this hotel is not a five star establishment, so don’t expect that.  And yes, the hot water situation isn’t good.  But what you can expect is a really friendly service (Vicky went out of her way to change our booking to a room with separate beds, and a member staff is on duty ALL NIGHT, every night to let customers in), a beautiful old building (which is admittedly tired), and a clean, bright room.  I’d recommend room 18 if you want a particularly quiet room because it’s off the main corridor.  You will also be a stone’s throw from a truly beautiful gem of a town with the best tea room I’ve ever visited, a jewellery shop selling fabulous handmade pieces and many other boutique shops.  I would stay there again for sure - in fact, my friend and I have our names down for next year.  Parking tip: the hotel has no parking but at least one nearby short stay car park offers a parking permit to cover longer stays.  Our three day parking permit cost £22).

Excellent value for money, crisp linen, really friendly staff.

I have stayed here twice in late summer / early autumn this year and been pleasantly surprised.  There is fresh decoration in all the bedrooms / staircases / corridors I saw, new carpets, new bedlinen, furniture and new very comfortable mattresses.  The plumbing is not good but this is more difficult to fix and may take time.  The reception staff were all pleasant and helpful and for the money it was unbeatable value.  If you want a luxury hotel then this is not the place for you but if you need inexpensive accommodation in the centre of Newport you could do much, much worse.  Good luck to Calverts!

Value for money with some very good points...

I read the reviews, but was swayed by the price of £91 for two nights, much cheaper than the Travelodge, a stones throw away.  The hotel looks dated but quaint from the outside, better from the inside and I was pleasantly surprised.

The hotel, and room 31 in particular are clean and tidy, the WiFi was not great so I used 4G, the bathroom is carpeted... but overall, the single room was fine.

The hotel is just about central, although Newport is small so an 8 minute walk and you are in the town centre.

My only complaint is that the 2nd floor room was TOO DAMNED HOT.  I needed to go to the local B&M to buy a cheap fan.  The room was sweltering, even with the window open it was impossible to sleep.  You can borrow an Iron and ironing board, there is a hairdryer and flat screen TV in the room, but the male on reception gave a very quick "No" when I asked if they may have a fan.

Top Tip to the Calverts Hotel - invest in some fans and put them in all of the top floor rooms.  I cannot stress how impossible it was to sleep until 01:00 in the morning when some heat left the room - for this reason, I doubt if I could return, as I spent two uncomfortable nights in room 31.  It wqs approximately 23 degrees in the sun, felt like 35 degrees in room 31.

The Travelodge Newport has fans.

An honest review of a not bad hotel in the Isle of Wight

Reading previous reviews was wondering what I had actually booked !  Thought be positive  this hotel is actually fine to use for a base . The hotel discribes as a budget hotel so if your looking for fancy curtains and modern furniture then it's not the place for you . The bed was very comfortable  tea and coffee in the room  local to all aminitys ..staff friendly for what we payed no complaints

It is what it is

The staff here are lovely, but the hotel... faded glory is being extremely kind. My single room was tiny, tatty, the window was extremely dirty, the bathroom window was totally clear and looked out onto the street - privacy was compromised. Neither window would open and the room was hot and airless. There was no shower (looks like it had been removed a long time ago), the bath had black bits in it. The tiles had seen much better days in the last century. One tap on the sink has lost it's top. The flat screen TV is tiny. There was an electric extension strip across the floor with wires trailing. Not very safe. I had a shock when I was awoken by the sound of crashing bottles at 5AM, when the empties were collected.
The location in the centre of Newport is good, but this really needs some money investing in it. I realise this would raise prices, but I'd rather pay more for a decent room. I left early because I couldn't stand it any longer and went elsewhere. I received an updated invoice that first refunded my unused nights, then added a cancellation charge exactly equal to the refund.

I won't ever stop here again.

Unsatisfactory.

Due to an earlier incident of racist behaviour from the maanger we found outselves here for one night.
Honestly, its a dump, there is no hiding that. 
But they smiled as they took our money, which is more than the other hotel
