Will definitely stay again

Friendly staff, checked in at the bar and even though it was busy the bartender was so friendly and showed us straight to the room with no wait. Comfy and well decorated room. Breakfast was great (they can do vegan if you ask and had 0 fuss).

Excellent stay as always!

Excellent stay as always, lovely room in the king size bedroom, really clean and well presented. Our doggies were made to feel so welcome too! Very friendly staff and we enjoyed both our breakfasts and evening meal. We’ll definitely stay again on our next visit to the IOW, thank you!

We were very well looked after by our hosts and could see their passion in ensuring that everything was done to ensure an excellent stay. Food was excellent and the chef has a real skill putting together a comprehensive menu.

Little gem

Little gem of a bar, restaurant and hotel. Very clean, lovely room very quaint, fabulous food and very friendly/helpful staff. Lovely beer garden and ideally situated for a visit to Osbourne house just literally over the road. Bus stop directly outside of the hotel so good for people without cars.

More than adequate !

Spent a couple of nights at the prince of Wales for a wedding , really can’t complain about anything . Staff are lovely , room was spotless , nice new fresh bedding , comfortable pillows and bed . Breakfast was delicious . Good value for money . The building is not the most attractive and certainly not luxurious but more than adequate in every way .
Denise, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Prince of Wales is immediately opposite the entrance to Osborne House, which was the purpose of our visit. Also very close to East Cowes ferry terminal. Very helpful and welcoming staff, and a good menu for dinner. Only negative was rather loud live music, but being Saturday night that wasn't too surprising, Overall very happy with this place, and would happily return.

Huw, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Literally across the street from the Osborne House. The rooms are named after the children of Queen Victoria, which was fun. Pub has good food both for the breakfast and other meals.
Lloyd, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I read the reviews of this hotel after booking and was a bit apprehensive but this hotel is clearly under new management. Staff so helpful and friendly breakfast was really tasty with fresh locally sources produce and I had the mixed grill in the evening (my go to meal), AMAZING! If I ever visit the IoW again I would happily stay at the Prince of Wales.
