David, United Kingdom

The hotel was very dated and the room furniture was in great need of being modernised the bed was not very comfortable.The worst thing was that you could hear everything from the adjoining rooms so every time somebody used the bath room you were very aware, The best thing was the staff who were really helpful and pleasant, and the bedding was clean.

Jeffrejo, United Kingdom

Fantastic stay for our weekend away on Isle of Wight. Top breakfast & excellent service & staff. EXCELLENT

Faith, Australia

Comfortable bed and very clean sheets. Room was in the basement with shared bathroom. Very very tired - wallpaper bubbled, tatty paintwork, dripping taps and very musty - though not a damp smell. We didn't pay much though, so can't complain really. Does need a weekend of a couple of people with a paintbrush!

An Inside Look at Dorset Hotel, Isle of Wight

We offer a large FREE CAR park at the rear of the house with parking for 20 vehicles.The house was built in 1842 and in 1862 became the foreign office for the Osbourne House estate during the reign of Queen Victoria.At the front of the building we have two cast iron pillows which represent two of her nine children these are grade one listed. The house is typical of many victoria establishments which makes Ryde quite unique. We have the added bonus of being able to see the sea from the hotel and admire many of today's largest cruise liners as they sail pass. The seafront and six miles of sandy beaches are within walking distance of the hotel and the many fine restaurants and public houses are a short stroll into town. We are very central but not in the noisy area.The present owners acquired the hotel in 1998. 23 rooms in total, all with freeview tv, hospitality tray and our dining room offers an extensive breakfast menu with many choices to start the day off. Licensed bar serving drinks and coffees and a selection of home made cakes.

눉The prices are very cheap when you take into consideration of the fees booking.com charge but it doesn't excuse not maintaining ot decorating rooms. The room we had was too small to have for a double, I know it was cheap but we had no sleep as beds so small. The room needed painting and maintaining .A screw was missing out of the light socket, rusty light fitting over bed, shower room ceiling leak water stained. Cheap curtain rail, dirty ceiling , exposed wire around the door. Having owned a small business the same on the isle I know how difficult it is to keep the business afloat as there's bigger coaching hotels but maintaining your property is key to business. I didn't have breakfast but my husband said it's small one sausage one bacon etc. I'd recommend upping your prices making a better breakfast of yoghurts juices fresh fruit cereals pastries etc. Modernising one room at a time and not leaving argumentive replies to customers comments as it doesn't look professional. This could be a gold mine if it was modernised.

“Sleepless in Ryde”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Twin Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 1 night
눉My room was basic, the furniture was flimsy, television small and slow, decoration was tired and the outside corridor was untidy. Shared bathroom in dire need of redecoration. But the worst part was the lack of any soundproofing from the room above. I could hear every footstep, conversation, coughing and eventual snoring that ensured I hardly had any sleep at all.
눇The hotel was convenient for the ferry. That's the only good thing I can think of.
