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.

We arrived early and asked to leave our luggage whilst we went out for the day. Staff were very helpful, allowing us to check into our room much earlier. The beds were very comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. It’s in a great location.

Reasonable value for money. It poor breakfast.

We booked 2 rooms - the premium room was very nice. The double room was in a rather noisy part of the hotel ? Due to building works ? We were disappointed to be told the kitchen was closed so only a continental breakfast was on offer - and we missed that because service ended at 09h30…. Given there was no hot food it would have been good for the continental breakfast to be served for longer so that we could have had it… other than that we were happy with the stay - it was good value for money overall and in a good location - close to the beach and other restaurants.

I loved the history of the hotel, room was large and comfortable. A little attention needs to be made to finish ie curtains had fallen off track, so difficult to close properly, USB charging point would be useful. Breakfast was perfect and set us up for the day
