Comfortable bed but Room 6 is in the attic and sloping roof meant it was quite a small living space. Shower room sink gurgled when guests beneath were showering. Breakfast was not great. Strange crispy omelette and hard avocado on toast!

Very good facilities in the room and the breakfast has been upgraded to cooked, also very good. Did have a gurgling noise from basin waste in room 6 when another room seemed to be showering. Could wake you if that room was early showers. Otherwise a very good night sleep in comfortable bed

Noisiest room in Cowes
Room 5 is above the pub entrance, which has drunk smokers around it until the small hours

My friend and I were on a tour of the Isle of Wight so over a week we stayed at 5 hotels. The Union was head and shoulders above the rest. The room was excellent, looks to have been newly refurbished, including high quality windows. Would definitely recommend it.

Amazing value, wonderful location.
Stayed here for one night,booked 2 rooms and both were fine. So many nice touches, water, fresh milk in the fridge not those awful little sachets, and the price included a continental breakfast. Wonderful value in a great location

6/10 at best.
“Boutique” this is not. One night stay, arrived late afternoon to a brusque check-in. The room was freezing on arrival though the convection heater did it’s job over the next few hours, could this have been switched on in advance. The room is dated and a little shabby, stains on the carpet and musty smell. The bathroom floor obviously has a rotten floorboard under Lino. Overall functional, reasonably clean but disappointing. Bed was comfortable
