Easily accessible very close to the ferry.
Room was comfy and clean, staff were polite even when asking me to vacate the room as I was slightly late to checkout.

Traditional old hotel that I really liked. Its a little bit tired and fraying at the edges but aren't we all. Good location right in the middle of town, no problem parking. Was warm, comfortable, decent value for money, I have no complaints

The apartment was sparkling clean with everything you needed and nothing was basic. It was like an extra treat. Even the dog got a little pack and a bed. Fridge had enough for a little breakfast after a late check in even though we didn't need it. The bed was super comfy, the wardrobe had plenty if hangers. The bathroom was so nice it made you want to have a shower.
I stay in Ryde all the time as my grandchildren live there and this was the best I have stayed in so far.
The host was lovely, polite, on hand but not smothering and even gave a little history on the building which I loved. It went well with the exquisite vintage style of furniture and decoration.
Lovely walk along the seafront. If you have spare bread take for the ducks,geese and swans,do not be scared of them.At the canoe lake. There is a swimming pool next to the canoe lake.Union strret have a good selection of shops and the High Street and a few along Cross street.Union Street is quite steep.

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. 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 apartment is in a quiet residential area, so we all slept well. Views from the apartment are amazing. We loved watching the ships on the Solent. Location was really good, close walk to beach and shops etc. The local beaches were lovely. Not overcrowded and safe for kids to play on. Ryde itself is ok, not to dissimilar to most UK towns but has the bonus of being by the sea. Some great places to eat i.e Ada Mediterranean Kitchen and Michaelangelo Italian Restaurant. Would avoid the Pavilion and The Ryde Castle Pub.
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!
You couldn't ask for a better hotel to stay at. Centrally located steps from the pier in Ryde, you can drop your bags off at your room and start exploring the city right away.
The listed building is gorgeous, and oozes charm and character. Staff are exceedingly friendly and helpful, willing to recommend places to see and where to eat. The breakfast in the morning was a great way to start the day, with many options to satisfy even a picky eater.
The location is fantastic. Quiet and beautiful place with close range to Ryde centre, beach and coastal path. Friendly, kind, flexible and very supportive host that communicate quick and efficiently.
We can't wait to visit again.
We had a lovely time in the cozy 3Mews. Everything was thoughtful prepared. Could not ask for more. Highly recommended when you visit the Isle of Wight.
Karrie (the host) went out of her way to accommodate our needs and answered our questions.
The house is in the middle of Ryde town centre. Parking is easier than we thought, we parked at the coop for £20 for 5 days. All the rooms were nicely decorated and comfortable. The house has everything you need,very well equipped.
Great Historic Hotel
Superb location in town, and close to passenger ferry/Pier
Room roomy & clean, great shower
Showing bit of wear & tear in places, but bags of 'character', and much nicer than new s'sterile' Hotels with no personality
stored our bikes safely in basement
Nearby (100yds) Spoons for cheap brecky
The hotel has great spa facilities, we especially like the bubble lounge in the spa area!
Staff were nice and welcoming.
Good size rooms and the beds were very comfy!
Good location, 5 minutes from ferry and 10 mins from ryde. There’s a bus station right by the hotel for 15 min travel to ryde.
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
The staff at check in & throughout the hotel were lovely. My room was serviced on Christmas Day which wasn't expected but much appreciated as I was getting short on tea. Plenty of choice at breakfast. Great location, close to mainland connections & Ryde town.
Lovely hotel in Ryde. Great location - less than 10 minute walk to the train station, bus stop and high Street in Ryde. Our room and bathroom was spacious, clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly. The breakfast was generous and delicious. Highly recommend.
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.
A very clean and tidy room with a decked area which was very pleasant to sit in on a bright evening. A very quiet hotel with excellent breakfast. Jolie is an excellent host who is willing to undertake anything requested
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 :)
