Lovely stay, very convenient location, close to everything. Staff was nice, great breakfast (amazing view btw!). It may be considered an "old" hotel but it's very well kept and charming. Lots of TV channels, although it wasn't my main priority when booking, but might be interesting for someone else. Won't hesitate to book them again on my next stay.

Liked: Staff & service

Staff are good but property is old. Hence they are limited to do any improvements. Hence no WiFi in rooms and our TV in room was not working when we checked. Got a replacement which was so small TV. So no entertainment and there is a pub nearby which is very noisy at night.

An excellent hotel for those visiting the IoW travelling from Portsmouth, I had a very enjoyable stay. The hotel is on the Esplanade and therefore a short walk from the pier or hovercraft terminal. The rooms are clean, and the shower works without any need to play with the settings. Breakfast options are good and the food is well prepared and served. The staff are very friendly and helpful, making the stay a most pleasant experience. If you like a large sandy beach, then Ryde has one of the best. The hotel is near to the bus terminal and the train station, so travel to the rest of the Island is a breeze.

The hotel is ideal as a base for exploring the island. Room was small but adequate. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was ok. The only real gripe was noise. Doors banging constantly and what sounded like a full on fight in the room above at 3am one morning.

The staffs were friendly and accommodating. The room was really clean and they replenish basic things everyday like tissue, shampoo and coffee. The only issue is the wifi that is not working or maybe cannot reach our room. Plus there is no good signal in the room where we were staying.
