It was terrible no A/C we had a family room it was roasting all night the sheets and the pillows were dripping there was a fan it made more noise than a old cortina with no air it was awful how they have the cheek to call it premier inn it’s amazing it would have been more comfortable sleeping in the car.

We stayed in August and it was almost unbearable, there is no ventilation in the rooms and only one fan provided which does not cool anything down just moves the warm air around, we were lucky to have a thunderstorm while we were there which cooled everything.

Th rooms wee unbearably hot and you could not get air into or out of the room need's proper opening windows or aircon.

The building was from the 80's with no air ducting for a centralised air con supply.

but that only circulated the hot air around the room.

however there is no air conditioning and the room was boiling hot at night with little air flow.

Anything you see on the room are build up with dusty asked the receptionist to send room service and they didn’t bother sending anyone to clean the room and it’s very hot in the room there’s no air comes in

Once the curtains were closed the room had very little fresh air.

Not even a fan or means of trying to circulate air in the room.

but of mixed quality the one in our room was a lethargic and barely moved the air, the one in our friends room was much bigger and more efficient.

but as you can imagine, all it does is push around warm air and not help to cool the room.

but it didn't even touch the heat (and ours had a broken back with wires exposed but didn't want to complain on case they took our only source of cool air away!!).

This really should be a health and safety issue given we are fighting a pandemic and there’s no air flow around the place. Disgusting.

The design of the building is such that heat does not seem to escape nor does air flow through the building well at all.

however all it did was blow hot air around.

though a fan was provided, it just circulates hot air.

The main problem on this visit was the total lack of air conditioning, it was a very hot weekend 14 - 16/7/19 & the rooms were like an oven, the fan provided was of little help & just seemed to circulate the already hot air.

but it just moved hot air around the room.

Only downside is heat, no Air Conditioners.

but it just blew the Warm Air around in the Room.

This particular Premier Inn is in a great location for Newport town being only 10 minutes walk and has a good free car park for guests.

The Premier Inn Newport, and the associated Beefeater, has a pleasant and quiet location (except during the Isle of Wight festival!!)

It is in a nice central location, 5 min walk into Newport along the quay allowing for easy access into the town.

Within easy walking distance of Newport Town Centre for any shopping &/or places to eat.

Lovely location too by the harbour which is a nice walk to bars, restaurants and shops.

This hotel is located just off central Newport so gives great access to anywhere on the island.

Super location on the banks if the Medina and a ten minute walk into Newport which is a bit of an unknown Georgian/early Victoria architectural gem.

One of the nicer Premier inn’s that I’ve used on my travels for work, as it is in a good location on the outskirts of Newport, on the banks of the river.

The premier in Hotel was exactly what I booked always do a recce beforehand that way your not disappointed 
In Newport center of the island

This hotel is ideally located on Newport Quay and has a Beefeater next door for breakfast and any other meals you may want.

hotel was in a good location close to Newport town centre with plenty of green space around and car parking spaces.

Very close to Newport central and lovely overall.

Luckily there is a great Chinese restaurant in Newport and we had a large satisfying meal for a lot less than the prices in the hotel restaurant with helpful service.

Back in June, I stayed in the Premier Inn, Isle of Wight Newport.

In our view, one of the best most convenient places to stay is at the Premier Inn, Newport.

Really nice Premier on the river, 5 minute walk along the harbour into town.

A nice walk into Newport town which is not far at all.

I really like Premier Inn and what it does and the hotel in Newport is no exception.

The location is good with easy access to Newport both for eating and starting cycle routes in multiple directions including the run up to Cowes to start the round the Island route.

Everybody slept on top of the duvets due to the unbearable heat, which meant being bitten by insect’s throughout the night.

Staff very helpful and we’re offering sheets instead of the duvet.

If you enjoy sleeping in a 25 degree sauna with a thick duvet

I asked for extra pillows and some new towels and the reception team were happy to help.

Both check-in and check-out arrangements have been smooth while we are satisfied that the rooms are clean with comfortable beds and it is convenient to find a lot of restaurants and cafes in the town centre nearby.

The hotel itself is great, comfy bed, clean rooms and a great shower.. BUT.

The room was good and clean and the main bed comfortable

Very easy to book and customer service was brilliant as usual :)

Reception team are always great and helpful and the room and bed was lovely and had a very good nights sleep.

but had everything needed a decent bathroom and comfortable bed with tea and coffee facilities and hairdryer .

Bed was comfortable, everywhere was clean and we weren’t disturbed at night.

but we could request clean towels and linen which would be left outside the door.

The mattress was amazingly comfortable which added to the experience.

Beds were so comfortable, clean rooms staff were amazing so friendly and helpful definatley recommend, 
Great breakfast lots of choice all freshly cooked staff couldn’t do enough to help even brought us extra pillows and milk and 12am

Clean rooms, a comfortable bed, a nice hot bath and a decent view, too.

Loving the USB points by the bed and the new style hairdryers next to the mirror.

My room 201 had plenty of space, USB ports by either side of the bed and a data point by the writing desk.

The beds and linen are always top quality and the rooms are adequately appointed and very clean.

Another must is Queen Victoria's holiday home, Osborne House.

but the cups were dirty, there was alot of cobwebs outside the window, which had to be kept open due to the heat, cigarette buts just outside window.

but this allowed very little heat to escape.

I was told to shut the blind and window to keep the heat out.

The heat hits you the minute you enter building after reception
Bed uncomfortable both woke with backache each morning been in over 10 different premiers never had a problem with bed before suspect mattress needs replacing

Our first night was hot, stuffy and devoid of sleep.

Indeed, the last time we spent in one, at Kew, a few years ago, the same heat problem occured.

We were out from 5am until 9pm because the heat was so unbearable all day and night.

The recent heat wave should not be an excuse as surely they are well aware of the problem from previous heatwaves.

The first night was difficult because of the heat,

This date did not co-incide with a heat wave so weather conditions was not the reason nor was the lack of air conditioning because several other Premier Inns we have stayed in did not have air conditioning.

but during July/August this does nothing to help with the heat in the room.

In the lobby there’s a massive advertising billboard screen, money wasted in my opinion and probably giving off even more heat!

your staff are very aware of the problem and also suffer the heat.

but with the heat over the weekend and no air con in the room it was sooo hot during the night .

Don't be put off by the lack of air conditioning, we were there during the recent heatwave and it was never unbearable.

I would not have stayed there if I had known that there was an issue with excessive heat.

but really the heat in the room made for a very uncomfortable nights sleep.

The room was still very hot, the family couldn't sleep well.

Although the temperature out side was no where near as hot as it has been recently.. it felt like someone had left the heating on in the room during our entire stay.

Our concerns were first raised when we spotted a sign in the room inviting us to change our sheets for lighter ones if we were too hot.

£160 for one night to stay in a smelly unbearably hot,  dusty room.

Very hot and stuffy as no air conditioning.

Appalling Hotel no air conditioning broken fans in the room stroppy receptionist someone had smoked in my room they were meant to give us water as it was soo hot

Shower a bit hot and cold….tissues and bedside clock would have been welcome.

Room was west facing (car park not river) and was just unpleasantly hot throughout, when outside temp was not - 18/19 during the day, far cooler at night,

but wasn’t expecting it to be unbearably hot.

but will never stay again at this one unless in the middle of winter as with no air conditioning and little ventilation every night was so uncomfortable with the only help provided by a small cheap desk fan - Far too hot !

The family room I got was extremely hot and we could not sleep at all.

The rooms were also incredibly hot and stuffy and the windows opened a maximum of 100mm at the bottom which meant ventilation was so poor again not a great thing with covid.

There was no air con unit in the room, leaving it extremely hot and making it difficult to sleep at night.

We had 5 days booked with them and had to leave after one night because the room was unbearably hot with little ventilation.

however, became very hot and steamy after we'd both had showers, it felt like a sauna after the first shower!

Rooms were really clean and housekeeping very friendly in the corridors

Room was clean, staff super friendly and very helpful.

the room was clean and fresh with the window open to let fresh air circulate and a fan was provided.

Rooms are clean, well maintained and comfortable.

The hotel could not be faulted in any way, the rooms were all clean, tidy and well stocked.

Friendly staff here, clean rooms and extremely COVID safe.

The reception staff were polite, friendly and efficient, the new method of registering your vehicle was quick and simple to use, and the rooms were spotless.

Fast checkin and a large very quiet clean room on the second floor.

Our room was clean and overlooked the River Medina, so we could watch the seabirds and the passing pleasure yachts.

The hotel and room were spotlessly clean - which is obviously important.

but did little to reduce the intense heat from this years amazing summer temperatures.

I am only glad we were not staying here during the very high temperatures.

The outside temperature only reached 19 degrees for our 2 night stay, so I dread to think what it would have been like in the height of summer.

but it didn't occur to us it would be necessary in these temps.

The main reason for the poor rating is the room temperature.

What I didn't expect was the total lack of adequate ventilation and overall high ambient temperature of the hotel itself.

but probably in the Autumn or spring before the temperature rises ! ;)

I did see some had issues with the temperature,

So we ended up having to purchase another fan from a shop, as the room temperature was unbearable.

but room temperature was so hot and extra beds were very. .

The temperature in our room was 29 degrees at 4pm on Saturday 13th July, and 31 degrees by midnight.

The room was 29 degrees when I arrived and the fan only reduced the temperature by half a degree.

The temperature during our stay (5 days/4 nights) never dipped below 29degC, and was often 30degC+, making it very uncomfortable altogether.

However, the accommodation was let down, mainly by the high room temperature due to lack of any air conditioning and inadequate ventilation in the ensuite bathroom.

Room temperature: This was really quite ridiculous, we had a fan in our room that only pushed around the hot air as there was no air flow into the room at all.

but the sweltering temperatures in our room almost led me to do just that!

Temperature was measuring over 35 day and night.

It's a 10-15 min walk to the High Street.

My map app accessed from the premier inn app sent me the other side of the river so enjoyed a long walk back round!

Nice walk along the river, close to town and hospital if you needed it.

Easy walking access to restaurants, pub etc.

First impressions of the hotel ,its in a great location just a short walk into town past the medina,it looks fresh and modern on the inside and the staff were very friendly.

Location for us was perfect as we could walk into town for evening meals etc.

Nice hotel, close to festival site so could walk to/from Jack Up The Summer festival.

In my view, it is certainly NOT worth a visit unless you really have to, and with a selection of excellent pubs an easy 10 minute walk away, several of which are also open for breakfast, we certainly avoided the place.

Beautiful estuary river setting, glorious walks from the doorstep, comfortable rooms, lovely food in the Beefeater next door (thanks, Kelly!).

We found the location to be excellent, with plenty of green space around us, and only a short walk into town.

but Newport is only a short walk by the river / harbour where shops & eateries provide all our needs.

The hotel is a short walk from Newport and we would highly recommend the Bargeman's Rest pub (booking recommended), which only took about 10 minutes to reach.

Premier Inn Isle Of Wight (Newport) hotel

temperature

beach

walk

It is situated just a 5 minute walk from the beach and the high road.

The parking at the Wright was free and it was a short 5 minute walk to the beach.

Very peaceful and great location with 5 minutes walk to the beach.

There is plenty of free parking, two minute walk to the beach and high street and facilities in the hotel if you wish to stay in like a fab pool and bar.

The Wight is very well sited for the beach, local bus stops and a plentiful choice of restaurants etc.

plus we had a delightful room looking out onto the courtyard..  and all within 5 minutes of the town and beach!

There are may restaurants a short walk away and 5 minutes to the beach.

This a great place to stay - close to amenities, the beach, pubs, places to eat and bus routes.

Excellent location, few minutes walk to beach & shops and bus stop just rounf the corner.

but within walking distance to the beach and a raft of restaurants.

Free parking and 5 mins walk from beach and town centre.

The beach is only a short walk away anyway.

The Wight was in a great location, close to the beach and the High Street with a good sized car park and free parking.

Walking distance to the beach,super close to a newsagents for any midnight snacking!

Hotel is 5 minutes walk from the seafront and the High Street in Sandown.

We forgot about the beach and spent the day in there!

We chose this hotel as it was close to the town centre and the beach.

Unless you’re some kind of double jointed dwarf the chances of drying yourself without the door being open is impossible.

We stayed in a two bedroom suite and the only minor issue was the doors to both the rooms were quite stiff and creaky which upset the light sleepers in the family .

But it was a little rough round the edges with a few minor things needing sorting out, such as our bedroom door not closing properly, no bath mat, no lock on the bathroom door, etc etc,  leading to a few trips to reception and we could see we were testing Laura's patience.

My 13yo  daughter told him when she opened the door thinking its one of her parents, to go and talk to the parents next door.

but they are only allowed to stay in your room or walk to and from the front door.

Hotel please note that it would be nice if you could provide an adapter (only one charging point is not enough for 2 mobile phones/i pad/laptop), a hook on the back of the door or wall for wet coats and a shelf on the wall in the bathroom or under the sink for toiletry bags - there is nowhere to put them.

Yes I did leave the beach bags I had just carried up the stairs outside the door as I had left the key in the car.

The 70's feel continues throughout the hotel, with varnished mahogany doors, Artex everywhere and even 70's lampshades!

Wait, the bathroom was the size of a cupboard and I could not turn around without having to open the sliding door.

allow me to put it this way - you're practically guaranteed to have someone else's germs (from their use of the toilet) all over your hands from the door handle alone before you get the chance to wash your own hands.

Looking at the photo's we really thought this hotel looked fantastic, well it did look this way 40 years ago, Now it needs a complete overhaul from the cistern that took 5 minutes to refill to the tired out of date sliding door wardrobe that was falling apart to the out of date 16" T V  hanging on the wall that refused to turn off unless you cut the power to it.

On our last morning the people next door left a dog in the room which whined non stop while they were away

On the last night, there was a lot of laughing and talking in the room next door.

I knocked on both the doors either side of mine before realising it was the room below (making it impossible to possibly know what room number it was!).

My daughter and her family had the family room while the room was a good size the bathroom was a joke so small you had to move behind the door before you could shut it and trying to bath the children in such a small bathroom was near impossible.

Our only issues with the room was the size of the door going into the bathroom was very narrow and a large person would have difficulty going through the door, also the people in the room above us were very noisy.

Shower either scorching hot or freezing cold and you are lucky to get a very light trickle as water pressure so low
Bathroom door almost touches the toilet when opening and closing
Loo roll holder completely rusty on top
Didn't know which was hot and cold tap as coloured rings on taps had come out
Constant musty smell in there
Curtains in room so thin not much point in even having them
Carpets throughout looked dirty and worn,didn't want to walk barefoot on carpet in our room
Breakfast ok

Lots of people left the swimming pool door open

But today as of 19/8/22 they have banned the donut floats due to “health and safety“ which in my opinion is quite ridiculous since I payed £10 for it just for this hotel only to be told I cannot.

The day of travel was chaotic due to ferry problems which meant we didn't actually arrive at the Wight until almost 9pm.

I did consider leaving a lower star rating due to having an unpleasant conversation with member of staff,

Unfortunately due to a break up in my relationship visit regularly to see my children and often stay in hotels in Sandown or Shanklin.

Sadly I didn't get round to reading any of the magazines or books in the lounging area due to spending so many hours in the pool and jacuzzi!

We had ordered a ground floor room due to some limited mobility problems, and found noise from the room above occasionally kept us awake, especially  the creaky bed.

There was only one room beyond ours and a blind person if there ever was one would not be venturing down the back stairs due to steepness.The owner forgets to mention that he wrongly accused me of taking food to the pool, I told him it was already eaten by the children in the room, not the pool!

People often assume this is a 4 star hotel due to its rating

My mother has some mobility difficulties due to arthritis,

The room was noisy due to thin walls creaking floor boards above, we could here snoring, talking laughing and worst of all what sounded like a herd of elephants upstairs I complained at 11pm and the lady at reception dealt with it.

4 night stay spoil the by lack of sleep due to noise through floorboards.

Overall the hotel was pleasant enough and I probably would stay here again, just the receptionist left a very poor impression on us as a party due to her rudeness.

The only downside to the room was that it had a loud clicking noise every 6 seconds throughout the night, due to the antiquated heating system.

but was told chef not in due to lack of bookings!

Overall a bit expensive so would probably not stay again due to price.

But due to the client base being of the older generation I don't plan on returning.

however on certain nights (such as Monday's for example) they have event nights where members of the public attend etc and do not abide by these rules, so when we left he hotel for the evening and returned again, we found it very difficult to find a parking space due to this.

2 of our friends were unable to come due to one of them being rushed to hospital in a critical condition the evening of 25th.

Would recommend this place if your requirements are basic, that is, looking at a place to sleep at night (though ours was disturbed due to kids running around in the room above ours) and want a swimming pool to relax in the evening.

A series of disappointments - the first before we even got there, when I tried to book a massage in the spa - the therapist was unable to do any kind of massage, due to an operation.

With only a short walk to the beach and shops it is in a great location and peacefully quiet.

Located In Sandown the hotel is clean and tidy

The location alone usually means a premium.

Fantastic breakfast one of the best I've ever had great location friendly staff very helpful.

perfect location to as 2 min from sea front.

Very welcoming, superb location, and great breakfast.

The location is good, with plenty of places in a very short walking distance to eat and drink.

Add to that, a reasonably priced bar, a convenient location , a good size car park and a nice pool.

Whole stay second to none, with the most super location for sandown and transport links on the doorstep, just perfect.

Immaculately clean, very friendly staff, central location with parking, close to a lovely beach, easy walking to nearby bars and restaurants, great swimming pool and a great breakfast.

ideal hotel and location for those that want a quiet stay

The bathroom I had in a double room was very small, water pressure in the shower was poor,

the hotel boasts a large indoor poor which is free to use and also has free wifi what is hard to come by in other hotels in the area, there is also a large off road car park which is a rare commodity to have in this area.
