The Fig Tree Shanklin

Lovely overnight stay for our wedding anniversary. Stayed in a balcony suite. Lovely view, clean and well maintained room. Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast. Thank you

We stayed at the Fig Tree Hotel for two nights- what a wonderful hotel! It was for a special family occasion and the owners and staff looked after us amazingly well- a massive thanks to them for a lovely stay.

If you're looking for a lovely hotel in a nice area, this is the hotel for you. If, however, you spend your day sightseeing and mainly use your hotel room to get a good night's sleep, well, I highly encourage you to look elsewhere. I spent 2 nights in this hotel and they were about as bad as they could be. I've never stayed in a hotel where the walls were so thin that snoring from the room next door kept me up most of the night. On night one I was woken up by snoring. I couldn't believe it, I was even wearing earplugs. I tried to move the mattress to another part of the room or even the bathroom but I wasn't strong enough. I lost several hours sleep that night and I told the front desk about it the next day. I was told that the people in that room had checked out, but that another party had checked in. I felt better knowing that the other people had checked out and what are the odds that it would happen again with the new people? Well, the odds were 100% because the new people snored longer and louder. I was so angry that I called the front desk but the phone didn't work. So, in the middle of the night I had to get dressed and go down to the front desk, only to find it dark and a note saying to call a specific number. It was 4 am and I just went back to my room and waited until morning to check out. When I got back with my tour group most of them raved about how great their hotel rooms were...I wasn't one of them.
