We booked a short break to IOW, meeting family there and so chose Yelfs as it was close to the ferry and looked a good base for exploring. There is some limited parking at the hotel but it is awkward and a trip through some dingy dirty passageways, not ideal. We booked in, polite pleasant lady at reception and got key to our room, first floor above the reception overlooking the street. Wow, this is a very tired run down hotel. Threadbear carpets made trip hazzards on stairs and hallways. Very dirty room. Everything broken, dirty and impractical. No bedside sockets. Broken mismatched lamps, dirty stained side tables, awful stained carpets. Filthy kettle, full of rust and the element almost worn through. Tiny old TV that refused to turn on for the first 10 mins of trying. Large front windows, single glazed, frames rotton and running with damp Bathroom passable but tiny, featureless, cold and dirty. We were supossed to be there for three nights and may have stuck it out as a base, except for the horrors of night 1. After a 5 hour journey we got to bed about 10pm. We may as well have been lying on the pavement outside. This popular town was full of drunks and as various establishments emptied out, we were treated to wave after wave of screaming, shouting, fighting, swearing with nothing but 2mm of glass seperating us from the row. The road noise from traffic rattled us in our bed, coaches, vans cars and lorries without a break for hours. We lay awake tortured till well after 3am but even then, sporadic shouts and vehicles stopped any meaningfull sleep and then deliveries started about 5.30 and we were up. The following day we just had to check out. The guy on the desk was appologetic and accepted our complaint. A full refund has been given and we are grateful for that. I have zero complaints about the hard working staff. We booked in at Premier in Sandown seafront which was great for the last 2 nights and actually cheaper than Yelfs
