Great hotel, nice and clean, very comfortable bed, the food was very good. The staff were excellent , nothing was too much trouble for them, very friendly and helpful. The hotel is situated in a wonderful location,it is literally a stones throw from the beach, there is a really nice promenade to walk along the coast.

I went to Ryde, partly because there's a bus direct from East Cowes and the ferry - I don't take the car - and partly to see more of it. I'm not a beach lover but Ryde beach is good for those that are, and in season there's the pleasure pool etc for kids at the east end of the town. Buses go regularly to Newport, Sandown, Shanklin, Ventnor and Bembridge, and the Island Line Railway also goes to Shanklin, And up and down the pier. There are the hovercraft to / from Southsea, the bus / tram museum and shops to potter in. Eating places - Castle Hotel is good - and wonderful ice cream

We were on the island to visit various places so the location did not really matter as we had the car, however having now travelled all around next time we would choose a location with more of a little town environment. There was very little in Ryde.

Ryde buildings and look is tired and needs some refreshing, the train service is, at best, erratic with many cancellations which is annoying if you need to get to Smallbrook Junction. They say you can use the train ticket for the bus but the bus does not go there! However the bus service is good and reliable. The Alamo steak house is very good, excellent steaks cooked as requested.

Great cafes and restaurants.
Great cafes and restaurants. I was really impressed by the homemade cakes on offer. It makes such a change from the massproduced rubbish.
Loved the walks potential. I really wished I had stayed longer.

Apart from the Esplande and having a nice view from hotel room, very disappointed with Ryde.
Very tired looking town. High street shops not very good and lack of restaurants that you would like to eat in.
On the whole not a place we would revisit.
The room was comfortable and there was plenty of space to put my belongings. It was also quiet as it was at the back of the hotel. The breakfast was great as there was plenty of choice and the dining room was spacious. The staff were friendly and willingly helped me with my suitcase as there were some stairs to go up and down even though there was a lift. I felt fine there even though I was on my own. I liked the location as it's situated right opposite Ryde Esplanade railway station. Taxis and buses are opposite too, plus the Hovercraft.
Our hosts were very welcoming and made us feel at home. We were delighted with the local area information that was given to us, it really helped us plan our time on the Isle of Wight. Breakfasts are continental style with delicious fresh fruit salads. We were well catered for. The house is situated in a private & secluded area with fabulous gardens to access. It is easily accessed by bus or a 20 min walk into Ryde. We used local buses to travel around the Island & found these to be frequent, reliable and affordable.
The hotel is situated in a fantastic seafront location, ideal for exploring the town.
The rooms were bright and airy with neutral decor.
The bed was a standard double with a soft mattress.
Access to kitchen and dining area facilities were a Godsend in the hot weather, as we could cool our water, and had space to relax.
Tea and coffee making facilities in the room were very generous.
An old building so big rooms and large windows made it feel very spacious.
The hotel was well cleaned whilst we were there.
Our second stay with Great Hosts . Beautifully decorated and clean and fresh. We were lucky to have lovely weather too, and the sea view from the balcony was a bonus . Everything we needed and a delicious fresh cake baked for our arrival and lots of extras we weren't expecting.
The bed was so comfy. The location again was great. All local amenities and close to shops bars and restaurants. We enjoyed a lovely meal at the castle hotel. Would highly recommend. And will definitely be returning ourselves!
I stayed in Room 9. A good size family room. I did not have breakfast. The location was very good for FastCat and Hovercraft. Close to the beach although half way up the high street a little steep but not an issue. Good location for railway and buses. Great beach at Ryde. The hotel is a pub but no noise in my room. Clean and the staff helpful when I arrived. Coffee/tea available in the room
The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Ilse of wight. Excellent property and very convenient to
activities. The front desk staff is extremely efficient, pleasant and helpful. The property is clean and has a fantastic old time charm.
The hotel was easy to find with the nearby parish church as an easy landmark visible across Ryde. The room and all facilities were comfortable and clean, everything you need for a short stay.
The staff were excellent, allowed us to keep some bags etc. in reception for us to collect later in the day after checking out that morning.
Central location in town; well served by buses and close to ferry terminal and rail station. A long established and old-style hotel that offers good food in bar or restaurant. The staff were particularly good natured, friendly and helpful which makes such a difference to staying guests
Staff so helpful, I arrived early and they were able to check me in. This hotel is a little oasis of calm - beautiful grounds and one of the best spas I have ever used in a hotel. The lavender sauna cannot be missed! I only stayed one night but it felt like a real break.
The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and tea/coffee and kettle were provided. TV in the room worked fine. The hotel had a comfortable lounge area with a TV and bar downstairs. The breakfast room was clean and bright. Breakfast was adequate, and the staff helpful.
The staff were excellent and very accommodating and friendly even though they were understaffed due to Covid. The hotel was kept clean and tidy and well placed in Ryde. We enjoyed our stay and Mark the deputy manager was excellent.
location was awesome. amazing kitchen facilities! rooms and common areas very clean. can’t say I would stay again because we like quiet locations but if you are in for the pubs and evening life this could be a great place.
The hotel is very convenient to Ryde town The room was spotlessly clean and bright and sunny with ensuite. And the beds were comfortable. We didn,t have breakfast because we prefer to have brunch later.
The room was located near by to reach Ryde (5 mins walk). Space was clean, neat, spacious, comfy. Chris was kind enough to explain us about the island and it's specialities. Thanks Chris :)
