Friendly staff, checked in at the bar and even though it was busy the bartender was so friendly and showed us straight to the room with no wait. Comfy and well decorated room. Breakfast was great (they can do vegan if you ask and had 0 fuss).

Spent nine days here while visiting family on the island. The staff are amazing, all super friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and have everything you need. Bus stop is right out the front door to get you to Newport or Ryde. Would stay here again in a heartbeat

Excellent stay as always, lovely room in the king size bedroom, really clean and well presented. Our doggies were made to feel so welcome too! Very friendly staff and we enjoyed both our breakfasts and evening meal. We’ll definitely stay again on our next visit to the IOW, thank you!

In general the 'hotel' is well run but in reality it is just a pub with rooms. The outside space is littered with cigarette ends, especially around the door. The staff are friendly and there were three reasonably priced real ales on the bar. The only real let down was the breakfast service. The menu is very limited and there were no cold drinks. The service was slow and on my final morning, non-existent. I waited to be served for about 20 minutes but no staff appeared. I had to buy a sandwich on the ferry. The wi-fi was very good downstairs but very poor in my room.

The owners have clearly made a great effort to make sure this old building gives you a welcoming environment. The room was spacious and clean, the Wi-Fi excellent and secure and the room servicing great. The whole environment was well looked after. If you thought that was good? - I can’t speak highly enough of the staff; reception, bar, breakfast & dinner - all different people but all gave excellent service. I have no problem in returning next time we are on the Island.

The Price if Wakes is conveniently located on the main road (A3921) between East Cowes and Whippingham, Isle of Wight. The inn is directly across from the main entrance to Osborne House estates. There are comfortable rooms, some with ensuite facilities, and a pub/restaurant/breakfast room on the ground floor. Free parking is available on-site, and it is approximately 1/2 -mile walk to Osborne House. The breakfasts were fresh, hot, and plentiful...cooked by Dean. Wifi and television are included in your stay.

The room was adequate. The shower was extremely small, it proved difficult to shower without hitting your arms on something. The bed was a cast iron bedstead with creaky springs, and the mattress was very uncomfortable, I did not sleep well. The bin in the shower room had not been emptied from the previous occupant. This was my husband and I's honeymoon night and I booked for bed and breakfast, however, we were greeted at the breakfast table with a "payment required" notice. This then entailed calling the manager who said that my invoice showed I had paid for room only. I then had to spend time scrolling through my phone to find MY invoice from Expedia to prove that I HAD paid for bed and breakfast. We had asked for coffee, and although we had seen a coffee machine, the coffee served was instant, which neither of us like. The manager blamed the invoice error on "the app" but it put a real dampener on our stay and I would suggest you take a look at your "app". Overall, we were not that impressed, and not inclined to stay there again.
