Everything was great and the staff were exceptional

Great hotel, nice and clean, very comfortable bed, the food was very good. The staff were excellent , nothing was too much trouble for them, very friendly and helpful. The hotel is situated in a wonderful location,it is literally a stones throw from the beach, there is a really nice promenade to walk along the coast.

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.
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.
Our stay at the Ryde Castle Hotel was extremely comfortable. Our room (N0.19) was exceptionally clean and warm with plenty of hot water. Tea and coffee condiments were replaced daily as expected. There are multiple choices at breakfast from a full English, to Continental to Scottish Salmon. You will not go hungry. The hotel is within walking distance of the main High Street where there are a variety of pubs and restaurants if you wish to eat outside of the hotel. The staff we met were polite and courteous at all times.
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.
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!
I stayed in Room 9. A good size family room. I did not have breakfast. The location was very good for FastCat and Hovercraft. Close to the beach although half way up the high street a little steep but not an issue. Good location for railway and buses. Great beach at Ryde. The hotel is a pub but no noise in my room. Clean and the staff helpful when I arrived. Coffee/tea available in the room
Nice residential area a little away from the centre of town. As we had a vehicle it was not a problem with our being able to visit the entire island without difficulty. Fiona and her husband Neil were very helpful and approachable offering part of their garden for outdoor use. The flat was in excellent condition with all mod. cons. Would highly recommend.
A traditional and well run hotel, right on Ryde Esplanade. We had a lovely large double room, very comfortable bed too. Which made a change, as we had stayed in several other hotels round the island with incredibly uncomfortable mattresses. Nice bar downstairs. Really great staff, very attentive and so helpful, we had a great stay.
The hotel was easy to find with the nearby parish church as an easy landmark visible across Ryde. The room and all facilities were comfortable and clean, everything you need for a short stay.
The staff were excellent, allowed us to keep some bags etc. in reception for us to collect later in the day after checking out that morning.
The location was the best, it was very near to the shops but it was in the quiet area of Ryde. We also had our room upgraded when we arrive to a bigger family room with kitchen. The owner gave us tips where go in Ryde. We went in April, there wasn't much going on but it was nice to see Ryde when it was less busy.
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.
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.
The hotel and bar staff were really lovely and always helpful, happy and pleasant. The breakfast was good too so I give them both 5*
The bed was comfortable and the housekeeping lady was brilliant and very considerate.
The dining room and food were good and the service was very good. The room was clean and tidy and the bed was clean and comfortable. Hotel location excellent.
