Decent size room with very comfortable bed. We were allowed a very early check in at 10am and there was choice of English Breakfast, Veggie Breakfast, Scrambled eggs and poached eggs on toast etc as well as various cereals, juice and toast. 5 minute walk to Ryde centre and 10 minute walk to Hovercraft.

A good hotel just a short uphill walk from the ferry & hover points with a convenient bus stop nearby. Our room was comfortable and clean. The staff were friendly and breakfast was delicious and cooked to order. We would definitely stay again.

The hotel was clean but my room was outdated and in need of repair. Rusty toilet seat hinges, broken bath panel, ill fitting Lino, taps too small for the basin (can’t get your hands underneath them) the chair in the room was broken, the room could do with a mirror near to a plug socket. The bed was clean and comfortable. Parking outside is convenient.

Taking account of the fact our stay was a budget stay, I felt we received value for money for many reasons. Location was central, not far from town centre. On the arrival day, we arrived lots of delays as missed a coach and had to find another way to get into the island. Even though we got to the hotel much later than planned, we were enabled to be shown our room . The bedroom was on the ground floor, as I'd requested on my booking form, even thought it was a late booking. The bedroom was a little tired, but clean and warm so acceptable. Location was central and had our arrival gone to plan, and it's only the fact that our plans were altered, which isn't anyone's fault and they were a helpful with our issues when our problems were communicated earlier in the day. Can't expect more than that. Breakfast was very good. Fresh and tasty and efficient. We were using public transport but understand there was free parking, just can't comment on that.

Very nice hotel which is centrally located and ideal for both town and the esplanade, breakfast was very nice and the staff were friendly and helpful. The shower pressure was good and the only change I would make to a premier room would be a larger TV and a fridge. Otherwise it was the perfect place to stay.

Spacious off-street parking behind the hotel. A warm welcome and efficient staff. Clean, neat room and ensuite. Lots of hot water, soft towels. Comfortable bed. Nicely cooked breakfast with excellent eggs, bacon and toast, coffee and juice (other options available). Staff deserve a special commendation - there was an unexpected power cut in that part of town in the morning, but they managed to serve an excellent hot breakfast with no fuss or delays. Thank you!
