Kingsclere Vacations from ￥229,121

The hotel doesn’t have a dedicated free parking space. However, you have parking in front of the hotel (on the beach road) which is a paid parking.

Breakfast service was a little chaotic due to the numbers of residents eating in one sitting, with only 3 members of staff on duty. The selection and quality of food however was very good. The staff are always busy but extremely approachable and will always help if there is an issue. The rooms are clean, a little basic but comfortable. The swimming pool is very good and a huge asset to the hotel. The hotel is ideally suited for walking into the town of Lyndhurst, just a few minutes walk away. Free parking with electric charging points available.

You get what you pay for... or so I thought, until I was talking to fellow travellers. They were raging about the cost of this budget hotel. I thought it was reasonably priced. It is basic, no frills, no vending machine, nowhere to put your clothes except a peg on the wall or a bench. That said, the bed was comfortable and there was a fan in the room. This was really useful given the air con didn't appear to be controllable. I reduced the setting to cool down from 30 degree weather outside and it hovered at 26 degree so not really worth the noise. I asked to use a hair dryer and the staff couldn't be more helpful. I also was given a room early without a problem. Altho' there's not a lot of amenities in the hotel, the staff were really helpful in signposting me. Improvements i'd recommend are 1] move the mirror closer to the one double plug in the room. 2] put in an additional plug beside the bed and 3] fix the aircon and put instructions into the room!

Beautiful location. A great base to spend a nice IOW holiday

Great stay as always, friendly staff and great breakfast too!
