The room was lovely, clean and bright, the staff very friendly and attentive, breakfast was very nice and dinning room smart and clean. The only downside I found was having to hand the key in every time you went out, it was a bit of a pain having to queue to get the key when staff checking people in Saying that I would still stay again.

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.

Nice hotel, a 3 or 3.5*. A bit dated, especially for the price. Nice room though imagine it’s cold in winter with the old windows. Bathroom seemed updated. Kettle and instant coffee and tea in the room. Breakfast included was ok, but still no decent coffee! Good location opposite the sea front and easy to walk to local areas. Friendly staff.

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.
