Comfortable bed and good location. Staff are friendly too. The rooms are spacious, but thought mine was well overdue a refurb (particularly given the price).

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

6/10 Good

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.
Paul, 1-night trip

Great location but too noisy

Food very good but don't expect a quiet night. Check in ok but key policy is very odd never had a place that you have to give your room key each time you leave hotel

6/10 Good

When we checked in they had given our rooms to someone else so they had to give us different accommodation
Jack, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

We liked the breakfast and the lobby. We disliked the fact that our toilet did not flush properly and that we had to report it for three days before action was taken. The WiFi was spotty.
John, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

I thought the bedroom was average not that clean so we didnt stay and lost 185pound which was way to hugh for that room.

It was easy for transport and the staff were very polite I have stayed there several times and never disappointed
pat, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
