Very festively decorated for Xmas. The room was snug but had a good view, although since we were at the top there were a lot of intruding angles. For example standing up straight in the shower was a challenge. Breakfast was included and the staff in the restaurant were pleasant. Old fashioned seaside hotel.

We booked a sea view room, but the single glazed windows meant it was noisy. There is major engineering work happening across the road all through the night which we felt we should have been made aware of when booking as it affected our sleep. The walls between rooms are thin, meaning you hear your neighbours television (at 5am), and the curtains do nothing to cut out the street lights. There was a sliding door to the bathroom, which was easily dislodged from the track- just not user friendly. Tea and coffee was served in vacuum jugs, the coffee wasn’t very warm. There was a limited buffet selection, but the cooked menu had several options. However, my scrambled eggs were overcooked and the toast was rubbery. The lift only went 1 floor towards our room, leaving 2 flights of stairs to negotiate with my walking stick and our bags.

Don’t get taken for a Ryde

Staff friendly enough but hotel and rooms are very tired and in need of complete refurbishment. There is no double glazing so spent most of the night awake listening to the yobbos screeching up and down the main road on motorbikes.

Ryde Isle of Wight

A great hotel with nice rooms and friendly staff. Check-in was easy and quick. A great location being close to the town centre, bus station, Hovercraft terminal and Pier for Catermaran boat services to Portsmouth. It would have been nice if the check in time could have been a little earlier, as 4pm is quite a late time to start check in otherwise everything else was excellent. The breakfast was nice as it was included in the price of the room and you had the choice of a full English breakfast.
