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.
Martin, 2-night trip

Very hot in the room, but with the price and location very good choice!

The Royal Esplanade was the perfect spot for our stay in Ryde. It is just across from the main bus transfer spot to get the Breezer and Coastal buses. It is clean and has an excellent cooked breakfast included with the rooms. I will stay there again when we return to Ryde.
Barbara, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We traveled from the USA. We had a wonderful stay. We took the Hovercraft across the water and the Hotel was directly across the street The staff was very helpful and kind. The bath towels were very nice. The only thing missing for me were face washcloths. Our breakfast was included and was delicious and plentiful. Because it is such a spacious hotel, I was able to meet with my cousin and aunt I hadn’t seen in 50+ years inside the hotel. I was able to purchase tea and coffee and cake for us to enjoy while we visited.

A lovely character hotel. Warm, welcoming, staff very pleasant and friendly also convenient location, good parking facilities very close by. I would stay here again.
Jayne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a really nice hotel. It is retro in some good ways, with a very friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast is superior. The location can't be beat. The only irritant is the Wi-Fi, which is spotty on the ground floor and almost non-existent in the upper rooms.
Jonathan, 4-night trip

The staff at the hotel were warm and friendly. If your looking for a cost effective stay on the isle of Wight then this hotel will not disappoint.
LLOYD, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

An island icon that needs some updating for sure. The rooms are very basic and small, and it feels more like a dorm set up than a proper hotel. Having said that the staff were lovely and Harry’s bar is as awesome as ever.
Sean, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The helpfulness of the staff great breakfasts enhanced by views of hovercraft coming and going the old and pretty ramshackle lay-out of the building.
Paul, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were amazing and the room was very clean. The view from the room was amazing. The only fault I could give was the WiFi was very inconsistent. Sometimes it was adequate other times I couldn’t get any signal and I wouldn’t be able to stream on the lowest settings without it buffering constantly.
