Owner and staff were very friendly, close to the beach and big room.

Overwhelmed by the friendly staffs and atmosphere.

Ignore the negatives. Yes it’s dated but it’s been about for a long time. Check in at the right time and don’t be late for breakfast and you’re golden. John is kind, generous and very accommodating. The hotel is budget friendly and in a great location-and I do mean great location! Love the breakfast and the service is brilliant. Always a good nights sleep. The kids love it here with the size of the garden, the trampoline and John is very nice to them. Sometimes he is under a lot of pressure and it’s understandable why he gets annoyed with people. Read the reviews-“I read the reviews so wasn’t expecting much”….don’t complain then! 😂

Visit every year.

Very warm welcome and friendly staff! You cannot ask for more!!! Suited very well for a family holiday!! Much grateful. Closer to all major amenities and about 5 minutes walk to the beach, shops and sandown pier.

Very neat and presentable for a budget hotel

Am surprised to hear all these negative comments about this homely and conducive hotel. We stayed there for a week and we could not fault it. It feels just like home; a relaxed atmosphere. John is kind and very approachable. All I can say is guests take his leniency for granted. He is very good with children and would do anything to ensure you get the best out of your stay! To be honest, people just use the internet just to spite others. Of course there is no way you can please everyone! People are just "fussy" nothing pleases them! I 've been in this hotel several times because we like it there. I 've seen John speak to guests and staff on different occasions and you could not fault him. He even goes out of his way to give presents to the children! He is just phenomenal! Nice man. He has recently refurbished the rooms, tampolen for kids to play on and the pictures on trip adviser is completely different. You only need to see it for yourself! You will like it there! Good staff, nice presented meals and welcoming atmosphere.

Pleasant

I was planning to go to the Isle of Wight on holiday with my wife and two kids and the cheapest deal I could find was for the altavia hotel. But when I checked the reviews out apart from one very good one the others were very bad. I decided to take the plunge and booked anyways, and I did not regret it. I spoke to the owner, John, to book a ferry at first. He sounded very nice and got me a good discount. On arrival I was amazed at the location of the hotel as it was a few minutes walk from the beach and in the sandown town centre. John is an amazingly nice guy. When I got to the hotel quite a few rooms were empty, he showed me all of them and let me choose the one I liked. He did mention that breakfast was at 8am and he would knock at the door if we were not out by 9. Even though he never did that but this was very good for me as we got the kids to breakfast nice and early then had the whole day to enjoy instead of staying in bed till late.yes, the building is a little dated but it has recently been redone so all the old reviews about the state and condition are defunct in my opinion. If I went to Isle of Wight again, I would definitely book this hotel again. Me, the wife and our 5 and 1 year old loved our stay here. And as sandown is so close to many of the attractions in the island it was amazingly convenient.

Altavia hotel stay with young family

nice room, sea views, good garden, decent food and a very polite manager

good hotel with great staff the owner is very kind

All essential needs were in place, shower, toilets, table fan, wifi, hair dryer, kettle, towels etc were present. I would say its value foer the money. 

If they refurbish and renovate the hotel, I guess it will cost much and attract  more customers.!!! 

For me and my family, it was a nice 3 nights stay and with breakfast!!!!

Good Value fir Money

This was a last minute booking as the previous hotel was beyond bad. Room was clean, John the owner was very hospitable. 
Breakfast again was basic but they’re not charging a fortune for the room so I’ve got nothing really to complain about.
All round, was a pleasant stay, thank you 

Not bad at all for a budget hotel

So pleased to see this hotel re open for service.  Such a great location and warm welcome.  THere’s plenty of information regarding social distancing, hygiene rules and sanitiser available at every entry point.  Table service significantly reduced but a much improved 2 sitting breakfast service available to minimise the number of covers in the dining hall.  Customers can benefit from the huge terrace area and large garden so there’s plenty of room to relax, sunbath and social distance.
