10/10 Exceptional

Staff were very friendly and talkative. Breakfast was included in the stay and was very nice. Option of cold breakfast starting at 0730, with the hot breakfast menu becoming available at 0800. The room we had was cozy with a decent sized bed. Complimentary biscuits on the table, with the option of tea/coffee and hot chocolate. Clean bathroom.

10/10 Exceptional

The position of the hotel is ideal for train and bus services to the rest of the island. The staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast had a variety of options and was delicious. Lots of stairs but there is a lift. Our room was spacious a little dated but clean apart from the window which is opposite the Hovercraft landing so there is quite a lot of debris from the sand.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

All staff are extremely helpful and courteous. The room was very clean and comfortable. Excellent location for the town, the bus and train station and hover craft, however the hovercraft is quite noisy if your room at the front of the building. Good food at all meals and the free cooked breakfast was a real bonus.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel had a great location near the ferry and bus station. and welcoming staff. I had a single room, which was very small but adequate. It would’ve been nice to have a shelf by the sink or in the shower for toiletries. No place to put soap or shampoo. Something so simple would’ve made my stay so much better.

I have been staying at this hotel every 2 years for the last 10 years and I have never been disappointed. The rooms are clean and functional and the beds very comfortable. I love sitting in the outoor area. The location is perfect, 10 mins walk from the ferry port and a short walk from the beach. There are many options for food nearby and also a Sainsbury 5 mins away. The bus stop is right in front of the hotel. The breakfast is excellent. I totally recommend this hotel and I look forward to my next stay!

6/10 Good

We booked a superior sea view room and it was lovely and spacious with comfy beds and good amenities. Completely let down by one of the worst full English breakfasts we’ve ever had. Dry, over-cooked and poor quality food. Would not return based on this.

Good location, just the rooms were old and tired. Breakfast was okay. Overall the stay was average.

8/10 Very good

Excellent location for those without a car. Situated alongside the Ryde public transport hub which includes train, bus & hovercraft options. A once very elegant hotel now perhaps a little tired but still full of charm. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the food was beautifully cooked traditional English fare.
