The Q Hotel

A group of us met here for lunch. We had expected the lunch menu but apparently that’s only served during the summer season. We ate off the evening menu, not a big choice, but adequate. A couple went for the Thai green curry, which was described as nice but not spicy enough. Another had a pork dish , I’m told it was good. I had the teriyaki salmon with noodles and vegetables. The salmon itself was good, the noodles were a mix of soft ones drowning in sauce and crispy , chewy ones with no flavour, the vegetables were almost nonexistent. I understand this is a fairly new business, regarding food it needs to up its game, with a few tweaks it could be a good place . We are considering trying the Sunday lunch. The look of the bar area is interesting, quirky would be a good description. The dining room was in black and silver, with mirrors, I expect it looks nice in the evening. The young lady, the only member of staff we saw, who served in the bar and waited on us in the restaurant was very pleasant.

Fantastic and lovely hotel. Trendy decor, nice rooms, comfy bed, & great location. The owner was superb and all of the staff were super friendly. The full English breakfast was really good and very generous by the excellent chef Anthony. We found the owner to be super kind and we will definitely return to the Q Hotel the next time we visit the Isle of White.

Hotel is well located and very well appointed yes colour scheme is all brown but it suits the building. Rooms have everything and are comfortable. Breakfast was great. I was lucky to grab a swim before it was winterised, most invigorating indeed!

Very poor value for money. Our room had a comfortable bed but proverbially, one could not swing a cat round. The 4 nights cost nearly £800 and included breakfast that was very good. My cousin, on arrival, (she is incapacitated and struggles to walk with a stick), was told along with her 92 year old husband that their room had been reallocated to upstairs. There being no lift my cousin explained that they had arranged for a ground floor room because she could not make the stairs. This was honoured, but the room was like a dark cell with dark brown walls, a wash basin that had a screen around it and a pokey little cupboard room for toiletries with a wonky toilet seat. Our other friends spoke to Simon but he seemed nonplussed when told that all three rooms were poor value. Our friends paid an extra £100 for a Superior room. This was slightly larger than ours but would figure well down a league table of Superior rooms. During our stay, we realised that it was pet friendly, but we thought that things had gone too far when dogs were allowed into the restaurant. There is one plus to relate and that is, the staff were very good and the young waitresses in the restaurant had the patience of Job as they had to wait for some time to serve up our orders. No complaints about the food if it wasn't for the delay in service. Simon is a lucky man to have such good staff to cover for his distinct absences when the daily business is taking place. I cannot see this hotel lasting long under the current setup. It's sad to write this because of the staff, but it had to be done .

Nice 4 night stay in july. Comfortable bed for a single , enormous tv. room a little cramped. Although we had to pay for breakfast it was good value for £12.50. We had sunday roast which was superb for £16. very enjoyable stay staff very helpful.

We went here for a meal. Very impressed food was outstanding. Staff very pleasant 😊 was a little.slow to.ask for drinks when seated. But overall was very very happy and will be going again, will also be recommending to other people. Very happy people after we left 😊

Great place, has a real identity that stands out from the rest. Owners could not do enough for us during our stay. We were a group of cyclists and the owners ensured we had secure areas to keep out bikes overnight. Lovely food, lovely wine list with a nice pool and sauna, just what you need after a ride around the island.

Comfortable bed and a quiet cosy room. Huge television that takes some time to get used to. Shower not great, takes ages for hot water to come through and flow is pitiful. Breakfast okay, the decorative aspects are unusual and clearly the owners have tried to create something unique. Reception failed to tell us about the code on the key and hotel closed at 10:30 pm so had to call owner for entry. Owners are friendly and welcoming. Good parking in area.
