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

The worst hotel I have ever stayed at.  It is a  budget hotel yes  but dirty and disgusting. Checked out and paid to stay somewhere else even though they won't refund. Don't stay here. We booked another hotel for not a lot more and was amazing, it was clean had a nice bar and Included breakfast and the food was great. Spend an extra few quid and save yourself.

Please don't book here.

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

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.

My partner come here with his mate and the staff was so rude, the rooms was absolutely horrible. On arrival they tried saying that I didn’t have enough funds in my account to pay for the room and it has been declined when I got through to booking.com they said they have give me false information because it has all gone through successfully. My partner goes to the room and the room was full of flies, mould, dirty bedding with blood on it and bogies on the wall, when he went to tell the front manager on desk they said there was no rooms left but when he was leaving the next day and told the young man at reception he said there was loads of rooms left. Tried ringing up to get some sort of an apology or refund but they completely blanked me

Absolutely disgusting 

Don’t be taken in by the price, this is seriously the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in- and I’ve stayed in a few shockers. 
Not really sure where to begin.
The one redeemable point is that the staff are pleasant. 
I stayed in room 8. I think I got about 3 hours sleep across two nights of staying. There are water pipes in the walls so any time anyone on a higher floor runs a tap, it makes a ridiculous amount of noise in the room. This obviously happens through the night. There is also a massive water stain on the ceiling above the bed where there has clearly been a leak in the past. Any time someone walks about in the hotel at night the noise of creaky floorboards reverberates around the room and wakens you up. 
The gaps under the room doors are big so the hallway light shines through and the curtains are hanging almost off the windows so even if you close them light from the alleyway down the side of the hotel shines into the room. 
The bathroom is the worst part, and this was not limited to room 8, several of my colleagues were staying at the same time and we were all shocked by it. Firstly it’s carpeted, which in a bathroom, especially one that’s going to be used by lots of people and will need to be cleaned regularly, is insane. The carpet in room 26 bathroom stank of urine and the toilet wasn’t fixed to the floor properly. The bathroom towels smell of damp and are old and need replaced.  The rooms don’t have showers- well- some had shower heads but no mount, some had shower mounts but no shower head, some had neither so I guess it’s a “lucky” dip. All rooms have grubby looking baths. But it takes so long to get hot water out of the taps (which the hotel do acknowledge because of the building’s age) so filling the bath takes forever. Oddly they still give you shower gel… The light above the bathroom sink in room 8 doesn’t work, nor in 26 or 32. A shelf and a hook would be useful in the bathroom, but if I’m honest it’s not where the improvements should begin.
The door to room 26 gets blocked every time the stair way door is open. This feels very dangerous, and if there were ever a fire could block the person in the room while people are evacuating. 
The furniture in the rooms is tatty. The decor is old and marked. The carpet has seen many better days. To be honest, the best part of the stay was checking out. If I had to stay again, I’d probably just pay the £2 for overnight parking and sleep in my car- even if the parking says it’ll run out at 4.30am I’d still probably get more sleep than I did in this hotel.  


Honest review: worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in

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

Dont waste your money. Entering the room the first thing i noticed was the mirror wasnt straight so walked over to straighten it but it was fixed to the wall! Hand basin not big enough for the taps, toilet not fixed to the floor and shower curtain and fixings for a shower but  no shower ( even little bottles of shower gel left for us!). My husband went to ask where it was to be told if it breaks we dont fix it. When we tried to run a bath ( which looked like it needed a good clean) it took 40 mins to get two inches of water. Reading the info they leave in the room it says you cant have takeaway food in the room and  when we opened the window the gutter outside was full of takeaway boxes ! 

Faulty Towers

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
