Amazing little find
Great little pub. Staff were superb, beer was excellent and food was great. This place was right up my street. Will be booking regularly as I visit family on the island
Sophie
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!
DUNCAN
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

Lovely little stay at this perfectly located B n B in the heart of cowes.
Great for our 1 night stay. Staff super lovely and friendly.
Would just like the option to take a coffee away in the morning. Maybe just get some take away coffee cups would be great!
Thank you for a great little stay!

Great Union Inn
Lovely pub in the centre of Cowes. Good food and a great pub atmosphere in the bar.
Ana
This place is a real gem. Comfy bedrooms, very friendly staff, best location, and price is very affordable.
Renee
Very quaint, nice room, comfy beds, near waterside. Easy walking from the ferry. Continental breakfast nice.
Adam
The room was quirky but I wrote “hello” in the dust with my finger on the bedside table.. just shows the poor standard of cleanliness throughout!
Edward
Noisiest room in Cowes
Room 5 is above the pub entrance, which has drunk smokers around it until the small hours
Mohinder
Proper dusting wasn't dun hangers lights skirting boards radiators extra
Stuart
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.
Francis
Small but everything there! Including a radio, TV , fridge, breakfast, cold water. Wonderful. My favorite place on the IOW
Lorraine
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
Anthony
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
Verified traveler
Ok for an overnight stay
Nice enough room, but quite basic. The continental breakfast was nice, good choice of items that were left on a table on the landing, which you ate in your room. Quite noisy at night as people stand outside the pub directly under the window (should have expected really but didn’t think of it)
catherine
Basic Accommodation but we didn’t pay that much for the room. It served a purpose. V central.
chris
Nice place.
Steven
Rooms are lovely with quirky decor.
Continental breakfast was available with a good choice of items.
Car parking is on the seafront and is about 3 minute walk. Make sure you have some change!

Comfy no frills
Very central, friendly staff ,self service breakfast arrangement works well.

Cowes visit
Very quiet, all good but the pub doesn't do food. Not a big problem as there are plenty of places to eat a short wall from the pub.
Michelle
The hotel was in a great location in Cowes, we managed to park ok too on a sunday night. The room was nicely decorated and fitted a family of 4 well. Breakfast was nicely done having a selection available to eat in the room.
Gordon
Really disappointing stay.
The website is misleading, no food is served on site, the breakfast is a bagged effort left outside the room. The bar opening hours are listed as bar closing at 2300hrs but in fact the Union Bar is the only bar that remains open in Cowes beyond 2300hrs so becomes very busy and loud from this time forward and closes at 0200hrs in the morning . All the bedrooms are above the bar area and poorly insulated from the excessive noise. The refurbishment of the rooms was poor bordering dangerous. Tiles not flush, the shower screen was not secured at the top so nearly fell out when touched.
Andrew
A lovely weekend spent in Cowes at the Union Inn
We arrived cold and windswept on a cold November afternoon and it was lovely to enter the warm pub and sit by the welcoming log fire ! A lovely traditional pub full of character. Good service and friendly staff. The Union Inn is in a lovely spot in the heart of Cowes as well. Would definiutely recommend staying here.
James
Stayed here before and had a great room - not his time though

Our room was very small and dark as it was painted dark brown.
And we kept hitting our head on the ceiling as our room was in the artic

Appalling
Do not believe the description of amenities. There was no restaurant (kitchen was closed), breakfast, room service, Porter, DVD player, desk, phone or safe, bottled water or designer toiletries. We stayed in room 4. On entering the room smelt musty despite an open window. The bathroom fittings were heavily rusted and appalling. It’s quite clear that nothing had been done to ensure that the room was fit for purpose. The furnishings had clearly seen better days.
Verified traveler
Such a nice little pub in Cowes . Had an issue when checked in but the staff sorted quickly . To the management , please go and inspect your rooms. Stayed in room 3 aand there is a broken floor tile in the bathroom which was dangerous and had to have a towel put over it. Comfortable room but dated and needs a good clean . Free breakfast couldn't be eaten as the milk and yoghurt were off because it was put outside the rooms the night before . Great location and ok for 1 night stay . Overall ok but couod be so much better . Very covid secure aand staff doing a fine job in that department .
Andrew
Easy to check in friendly safe environment thank you so mich

Lovely pub, ideal location
Lovely place in a great location. Breakfast left on a tray for me each day, which was fine, however, the lack of any personnel was a bit of an issue - the heating and the wifi weren't working and the response I received didn’t help. The problems went unfixed, and it was freezing! It wouldnt stop me staying there again, but preferably when there's a live human being taking responsibilty for any problems encountered.

Nice room as usual, and no problems at all, staff friendly as ever.

Hidden gem...
Charming room atop a lively bar (that still respected social distancing) was a wonderful treat to our staycation with our seven month old. The inn is located minutes from the red jet fast ferry from/to Southampton and is full of friendly staff, nestled among great shops and beautiful scenery, and offers a tasty breakfast. The place is a hidden gem.

Take ear plugs
Great place, great people and great location. Sleep was seriously disturbed by a group of young drunk people fighting outside our window at 2 in the morning. I suppose this is to be expected on a a Friday night in a town centre location. Otherwise a very nice stay.
Lorraine
Lovely Inn in a great location.
This was my second stay at the Union Inn, and I will return. I love the fact it is small and all the rooms are individual. It's good value for money, with breakfast included at the cafe next door. There are really nice touches, such as bathrobes and good quality bath products, plus bottled water (nice to see glass bottles and not plastic. A warm and friendly bar with lovely staff. Comfy beds and quiet made for a good nights sleep. Rooms are not huge and this time our bathroom was on the small side, but fine for a short stay. Will definitely book again. A great location close to everything.
Andrew
Good location nice bar room okay for price

Bargain price at £54 for a double including breakfast who could complain? Admittedly the room was petite, the bathroom even more so, if you were above average size or weight you would not have been able to to get into the shower.
The cleanliness level was ok, important things like bed, bathroom and tea making area were clean but lots of dust on lights, fireplace and around skirtings.
Pub downstairs was friendly enough good value for money and basic pub grub, but we didn’t eat there so couldn’t comment, no noticeable noise from the pub in the evening. Would be happy to have a one night stay again, but you might struggle if staying for more than a couple of nights.
