Summary: The room was lovely & clean, nice carpet and curtains, the balcony was very nice to have a cuppa in the morning sunshine . The bathroom had a lovely large powerful shower with lots of hot water. The bathroom was in need of some updating, looked more like a NHS bathroom (clinical) but functional.. You can decide every day if you want your room serviced, so that’s a nice touch and nothing was too much trouble either. Breakfast is served between 8.30 - 9.30. Offering a cooked breakfast in small or large. Sausage or bacon sandwich on brown or white bread. Tea cakes, croissants or toast with jam, marmalade or Marmite. Large glass of orange or apple juice and plenty of tea and filter coffee. You can only choose one item from the menu.
The meals in pub are very filling with lots of choices. They will always make sure you have a table if you are staying with them and would like to eat there.
They do not have a lift so rooms are accessed by stairs only.
We had a three night break away and enjoyed our stay.

Summary: We’ve had a fantastic break at The Steamer Inn, been coming to the IOW for 60 years on and off with Parents, children and grandchildren, staying all over the Island, this time it was just myself and Hubby and I could not have booked a more relaxing spot for two adults, the sound of the waves was perfect for getting to sleep and also to wake up to, the balcony looked out over the beach, fabulous food, breakfast was something else, and entertainment, staff were so friendly and helpful, I would say it’s also right in the middle of things if you bring children too!

Summary: I have just completed a three night stay at The Steamer, arriving on Saturday 01 August and leaving on Tuesday 04 August. I stayed in Room 3, which was a comfortable double room with its own terrace. The room was spacious and clean, with all the necessities needed for a three night stay. The shower in the bathroom was one of the strongest I have come across — practically a pressure washer — and certainly no complaints there.
If I were to nit pick, and this is purely personal preference, the bathroom floor had that clinical style vinyl safety flooring — the sort you would usually see in hospitals or changing rooms — and it was not really to my taste.
The terrace was a lovely addition. Watching the sun rise from there was genuinely peaceful, and you can really make the most of the views.
Despite being above a busy pub, you surprisingly hear very little noise in the room. Breakfast was included in my stay, and I can confirm that the offering was excellent. The full English is made from quality produce and sets you up well for the day.
Breakfast timings are slightly limited, running only between 08:30 and 09:30. This did not affect me too much, but I personally prefer a later breakfast option. Considering the pub serves breakfast to the public from 10:00 onwards, it would be nice if there was a little flexibility for guests. However, with checkout being at 10:00, I can understand why the breakfast window is set as it is.
I did not have any evening meals here, but seeing as p

Summary: We had a balcony room overlooking the esplanade and beach. It was spacious, a comfortable bed, plenty of drawers and hanging space and a very large shower room with walk-in shower with slip-mat, pedestal basin and WC. There was tea, coffee, hot chocolate provided with kettle and a hairdryer. The towels were white and fresh as was the bed linen. The pub itself was decorated in a nautical theme. The menu was eclectic and the portions very generous. You can dine inside or out on the terrace which was well shaded. The staff are very hard-working and nothing is a problem for them. We would certainly return. Breakfast was varied with plenty of freshly made tea and filter coffee, juices, the full English or various options. Vegetarians are well catered for too.

Summary: Location could not be faulted as right opposite the seafront. Found on street parking ok although one evening the overnight charge wouldn’t go through on our cards and cost 5x the £2 fee on pay by park, Room was nice although with the hot weather leaving the window open did lead to lots of outside noise from pub staff moving barrels and emptying bottle bins, The restraint was good with live music on one evening

Summary: lovely stay directly across from the beach. Steep walk uphill to the main town and railway station but there was a regular bus service during the day. Inn is a busy restaurant but no late night noise. Very friendly, helpful staff. Room small but had everything that was needed. Included breakfast was perfect to set you up for the day

Summary: Convenient location for sea front and very nice balcony to sit and relax, although quite small. Rooms and pub clean and the meals were standard pub fare with excellent specials. Parking can be an issue when there's something happening on the beach or in the sea, we were there during the rowing regatta and the front was very busy. Would stop again
