Overall Ratings & Reviews Fountain Hotel Isle of Wight by Greene King Inns

Absolutely wonderful hospitality from all the staff, a cosy room and a cracking breakfast - loved staying here!

Authentic historic property with a great pub and excellent food. Reasonable prices and a great location adjacent to the Red Jet Fast ferry.

Anther friendly stay at the fountain the food is good at the fountain so we tea there after work breakfast is excellent you’re need to go a long way to bet the breakfast the owners are great and the staff are nice and friendly

Friendly staff

Good location. Reception staff were very friendly.

Room itself was clean, but the shower area was very bad. The grouting in the tiles was stained brown as was the silicone around the shower base. We would not shower in there. The communal areas are badly in need of refurbishment. We complained to the manager next morning about the shower and he told us that the hotel was due to shut for a refurbishment, but it had been delayed by Greene King who own it. He apologised and offered a full refund to his credit. It was not just our room, as my brother also had a room in which the shower was in the same state, after paying for an upgraded room. He also got a refund.

The rooms are comfortable and had all the facilities you would want. The rooms are a little tired but with such a busy island you’ll only be sleeping and showering in it. Staff extremely helpful and welcoming including to our dog who they treated like royalty. Evening meal very good and breakfast which I paid for in advance was impressive. Great location. A little noisy at pub closing time but should be expected as I booked a hotel above a pub!!! Would recommend for all

We were greeted with a friendly welcome by the host whom also offered to carry bags up to our room, greatly appreciated. The room and bathroom had a magnificent view over the harbour and we then realise this is a gem of a place to have a weekend break from it all. That evening we relaxed with a wonderful meal, excellent wine and local music. That night slept exceedingly well in a comfortable bed. Breakfast was beyond expectation and seriously spoilt for choice, although it was busy we did not have to wait too long for our feast. We really appreciated the service provided by the staff, always happy, attentive and above all … friendly. Thank you so much for making our stay so relaxing and enjoyable. We will no doubt return soon for another weekend away

Very noisy room, smelt terrible and was generally dirty and dilapidated.

It was a nice hotel near the ferry terminal, but there was no parking at the hotel parking was available at payed parking it was$6:00 for the night other than that I can recommend it

Very handy for all in Cowes

Ideal location for the centre of town. Comfortable room with all requirements for an overnight stay. Perfect location to start the coastal path walk. Stayed at the beginning of walk Sunday very quiet at night. Stayed at end of walk Saturday night. Very noisy outside in street until early hours, even with windows closed Otherwise great place to stay. Staff lovely and helpful. Meal choice good and plentiful

Great place and location

Staff and service was excellent. Very friendly and engaging. Excellent breakfast and food generally. Great beer garden overlooking harbour.

Such a warm welcome and so helpful. Absolutely lovely stay. Rooms were clean and well maintained. Bathroom likewise. Staff were brilliant able to accommodate a slightly later dinner on our first night and looked after bags both before check in and after check out.
