Not woth the money.

Decent breakfast.

No remote control for TV in room. Hotel couldn't wouldn't provide another. Couldn't open window in room as there was a massive noisy fan blasting air immediately outside the window. When will bars in this country ever decie to employ staff who know what they're doing. In the packed hotel bar there was one bar man who had two speeds slow and stop. It is not difficult to acknowledge customers and god forbid serve more than one person at a time.

me and my partner was very disapointed with our whole experience of the fountain hotel..its not a hotel i would say is value for money.

im glad i only manged to stay one night

during breakfast on the sunday we were ignored, when trying to order our breakfast also the staff look tired dirty scruffy and un interested.none of the tables had been set for breakfast when i came down mid morningthe milk for the cerial was warm and smelt off and all the breakfast juices were were warm too.we also found some of the staff rude and abrupt.

Overall very good and great value for money.

Lovely bed, pillows not so good.Wonderful breakfeast.

Pity about parking facilities,using public car park is a pain having to feed the meter two hourly.

Very enjoyable stay, from the super fast check in to the fantastic and varied breakfast before we left!

Very friendly and helpful staff, very quick and easy check in, well stocked bar, very good breakfast with more choice than normal, comfy bed with lots of pillows, lovely location in Cowes near ferry, restaurants and pubs, well appointed room with good toiletries etc.

More t.v. channels would be nice, but I'm being picky really... No bad points!

Good. If I stayed again I would book a double room rather than a single.

Friendly staff and excellent breakfast.

The single room was not as good as the double rooms - it is the same at most hotels and B&B's.
