Keppel's Head is a fantastically positioned B&B with direct access to public transit, the harbor & shops, and the Royal Naval Yard museums. Breakfast was included with our stay and was generous & serviceable, and the staff was very helpful on several occasions, even at 0300 when we needed to be let out of the car park to get to our flight.

Lovely service at all times. Gave us suggestions of things to do. We had to leave early so they offered a breakfast to go. It was great. Dinner at the hotel was our best meal of the trip. Exceptional!

8/10

A lovely old hotel with quirky charm. Rooms were spacious although cleaning during my stay wasnt perfect. The elevator was out of service for 24 hrs which may have been problematic for less able guests. Staff was great and breakfast adequate (I found the coffee weak, but Im fussy) Overall great value for the $.

Interesting old hotel steeped in naval history with HMS Victory nearby. It was a meeting point for MI 6 and the KGB. The decor is beautiful and the staff friendly. Serves British and sushi food. Useful free car park.

Pleasant stay. Issues at check in due to Hotels.com passing incorrect details to the hotel, so took longer to check in. Room was pleasant and clean. Bed was comfortable shower was ok but seals seemed to have gone round hose and nozzle so caused a very high pitched noise. Breakfast was lovely and the restaurant staff were really nice. Carpark is a bonus. Really close to shopping and tourist sites. Will definitely choose this hotel again.

Friendly relaxed staff. The hotel is in a great location for visiting the navy museum and docks. On site parking is a plus too. The Japanese restaurant is great as is the full english breakfast.

A very good stay. Efficient and friendly check in plus a room upgrade. Room and bathroom very clean, very comfortable bed. On site parking was a bonus as it was first come, first serve. Great location for historic dockyards and Gun Wharf key. All the staff I saw were friendly and very helpful.

This was a clean and convenient hotel with excellent front desk help. You can't beat it for us close proximity to the IOW ferry, train and busses. I will stay here again on my next trip to the Isle of Wight.
