Trouville Hotel

The hotel is very tired dingy the rooms quit small with some showers over the bath which makes it very dangerous for older people. The food we found was disgusting overcooked vegetables tough meat dishes and the fish which was supposed to be poached was like cardboard French onion soup was pale tasteless and greasy. We were reprimanded for being 10 min late by a very rude waitress and told we were not allowed starters because we were late even though there were guests arriving after we sat down. Would highly recommend you not to use this hotel, Also the lift broke down which meant climbing four quite steep staircases a terrible experience never to be repeated

I have just returned from a coach holiday staying at the Trouville Hotel, Sandown, Isle of Wight. Our room had an unbroken sea view. The room was clean and serviced each day by very pleasant housekeeping staff. Beds were very comfortable. The food was probably the best I have had in a hotel. We chose the full English option each day for breakfast, but there was also a good selection of cereals and juices. Dinner consisted of 3 courses with ample choice and the portions were generous. The staff were all helpful and went out of their way to make our holiday memorable. We were greeted with tea and coffee on our arrival and were told by a member of the bar staff that it was his job to make sure that our holiday was special. I thoroughly recommend the Trouville Hotel on the seafront at Sandown, Isle of Wight.

Trouville Hotel My report for Tripadvisor Overall impression This hotel has had a massive refurb since my last visit many years ago and I was looking forward to seeing the difference…wow ..what a pleasant surprise. The Trouville Hotel, Sandown, IOW should now be on everyone’s list as the ‘place to go’ It is fabulous and here is why….let’s take each area in turn… 1 Reception…all smiles and friendly welcome await…not so sure about the wait for room allocation at 3 pm…surely some if not most rooms will be ready well before and a little planning will eliminate the awful situation of the reception , lounge and surrounding areas being bunged up with guests and their luggage awaiting room allocation ….My only criticism 2. Room…our room with beautiful sea view was excellent. Bright, clean and spacious. The bed extremely comfy. I’m disabled with walking difficulty so concerned about leaving my scooter in reception but no worries …got room 106 first floor adjacent to the lift so minimal travel plus no noise from lift at night. 3. Restaurant..meals turned out to be a most pleasant experience with super waiter service by Ian etc and excellent cuisine with a wide choice…3 course multi choice dinner and a good breakfast menu. The restaurant was busy and quite crowded for a large group but spacious enough and very adequately serviced by excellent experienced staff the food being hot and swiftly brought to our table. 4. Bar / lounge the hotel provides a large and comfortable lounge area with sea views ideal for relaxing with friends, enjoying a drink and simply taking it easy. The bar is well stocked providing various beverages at a very reasonable cost plus an excellent light lunch menue. 5. Facilities…the hotel boasts a fine games room on the first floor for short mat bowls, pool, etc. large dance floor which provided for a great line dance weekend. The lift though small was never a problem..no long waits for me etc. For disabled folk like me with a scooter or wheelchair there is a convenient side entry so no access problems in that respect. 6. Conclusion..I am currently a guest here this weekend and it is like a breath of fresh air…I was here 25 years ago…line dancing..would you believe …it was awful. But now WOW what a transformation …accoustically it’s bright clean decor is quite refreshing and a delight….you really deserve 5 stars but I’m docking 1 for the totally unnecessary reception mess. Other hotels I’ve been to say rooms at 3pm but manage to start allocating much earlier to clear congestion of waiting guests. 7. Finally would I come here again..of course I would, enjoyed every moment thank you The Trouville Hotel, management and staff you really did the extra mile for me.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
