Overall the hotel was good. The room's decor was a bit dated.

This charming old place is clean and newly renovated with bright new facilities while still retaining its Victorian charm. The room (#14) was tiny but had everything I needed,and the bed was very comfortable. Everyone on staff was friendly and helpful. The bar is wonderful, with lots of friendly locals.
Lots of stairs to go up and down- my room was the highest- but it was very private and secluded, even though the bathrooms are shared. Incredible value for my money.
Overlooking a 20-acre lake, and in 17 acres of grounds, this 4-star hotel has an indulgent spa and free Wi-Fi throughout the building. Lakeside Park Hotel offers dining options with picturesque views....

Ryde has most things in the town , right next to the beach , great train, open top bus and hovercraft and ferry all in one place, fantastic
We loved it
Nice breakfast places
Nice Restraunt’s , good pubs
Ryde has some steep hills but the front is flat
The parking people are very sharp and take pictures rather than stick it on your car.

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.
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.
Nice cosy room. Clean and comfortable. Glad to have the tea and coffee facilities. Location on the Esplanade was exceptional, and was very close to the centre of Ryde for access to shops and eateries. Also right opposite the bus stand so very useful for getting around the island during the weekend. Very clean and spacious bathroom. I was impressed by the ethos that had led to the setting up of the hotel in the first place - long may it continue to do the good work!
Very beautiful apartment with all facilities. It is actually bigger than looks in the picture. Very good location, from the Ryde ferry it is 5 min walk and all the bus stations to go anywhere in the isle of Wight are within 10min walk.
There is Co-Op and Iceland shop within 5min walk so you can have all the stuff from there.
There wasn't a breakfast as such but food could be bought at times from the bar. There was a kitchen & dining area within the building if you wished to take in your own food to heat & prepare it, with a cupboard allocated to each room containing your own utensils, along with a fridge to store any fodstuffs.
A great little apartment in the center of Ryde. Great for exploring the Island and a nice peaceful location. Good facilities and the apartment had everything you could need. Kerrie was a great host and it was nice to know she was only on the phone if there were any issues - but we had none!
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 property was very clean and furnished to a high standard, with everything we needed. The bedrooms were lovely and comfortable. There was a great welcome pack on arrival. Is a lovely garden and outdoor seating area. The host very kindly took us to the ferry on departure.
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.
Location, very close to Ryde Beach and esplanade and Hotel is on the high street area which has easy access to plenty of restaurants.
Free parking very close by and also limited street parking adjacent to hotel too.
This hotel is basic but suited what I needed as a base to visit the island. It’s no frills but is sensibly priced and was clean. Really close to Ryde city centre and the train station all within walking distance
I like the hotel being a few minutes from the bus stops and town. Also Ryde bus museum is near by. The room is a very good place to stay. Breakfast is very good.
