Calverts Hotel

I was pleasantly surprised by Calvert's Hotel. I initially booked for a two-night stay in Newport and extended it to a five-night stay as I was having such a nice time. The hotel was kept very clean and the public rooms (reception and bar) were very well decorated and presented. The room had a brand-new wooden sash window installed and a brand-new radiator, and the curtains seemed new too. The bed was comfortable, the furniture was smart, the view was excellent, the bath filled up well with plenty of hot water. I reported a small spillage on the staircase and it was cleaned up immediately. The location was fantastic - a stunning view of the Guildhall façade and right in the town centre, perfect for exploring the historical streets and squares. It was within walking distance to Carisbrooke Castle, which was a really interesting day out. The staff were friendly and professional, and nothing was too much trouble for them. I was made to feel very welcome at the Hotel and I couldn't have enjoyed my stay more. It was great to be able to walk down Quay Street and have breakfast at Quay Arts on the terrace overlooking the water in the late September sunshine. It was extremely quiet overnight and I had such good nights sleep - it was so relaxing. I can really recommend a stay at this historical hotel.
