Ryde Castle  

The location is excellent as it is very close to the beach to the railway and bus stations also the passenger ferry terminal and very close to the main shopping street. Its location is ideal for those who wish to explore the island and all the various delights that the island has to offer,either by car or public transport.

The hotel is in need of money spending on it in terms of redecoration which I understand is in the early stages of planning. I would welcome a revisit to see what improvements may ensue.

Location - Food - Value for money

staff were excellent- very friendly and helpful. breakfasts very good except for one morning when they had no brown toast, no sausages and no ham. this improved by the next day. we were disappointed with the room we were given on arrival, but after speaking to reception we were changed to the honeymoon suite the following night which had a four poster bed. all beds are extremely comfortable!!. the location was perfect- we had a fantastic view of the Spinacle at Portsmouth from our bedroom window and we could watch the hovercraft coming in and out of Ryde. all in all a good value and enjoyable break.

needs a bit of TLC as some parts are looking a little tired, but as a budget hotel very good

Its location is pretty special looking as it does across the solent towards portsmouth. The room was very comfortable and a good size with all the required facilities.the food was very good and the staff very helpful and friendly.

Very courteous staff. Excellent choice of breakfast. Spacious room. Excellent location. Value for money.

Lovely looking on the outside, and downstairs looks lovely. Its in a good location on the seafront and close to all the things you need. The rooms are OK, comfy bed and i like that all the rooms have different names. The hotel has character and isnt just a bog standard hotel where everything is generic. The hotel has a lovely atmosphere.

The windows werent brilliant and had lots of condensation on them, because there are double layer windows. Other than that was good!

Beautiful historic looking building with fantastic views of the sea.. Very helpful staff and a beautiful breakfast

Exellent staff very friendly and efficient . location perfect for our needs .

Stayed here on two seperate occasions in the last couple of weeks and felt both times that the rooms were greatly in need of an update

Friendly staff, clean room, nice location. Breakfast was very good.

The shower in my room (14) was almost useless: water trickled out. As I only stayed one night, wasn't a major issue however.

Convenient location, on site parking, friendly staff

Nice character building but the furnishings are a little tired.

Staff excellent. Bed very comfortable. Breakfast first class.

Hotel needs a major refurbishment - it's worth it.

Paid for superior room but there was nothing superior about it we thought personally that the room had been falsely advertised apart from ir being small ir was in bad need of a facelift but apart from the room the food and the staff were 1st class !!

Incredible food. Friendly staff. Big comfortable bed in one of the sea facing rooms. That more could you ask for.
