Lock in a great price for Yelf's Hotel – rated 8.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

Location good near buses and port. Breakfast buffet good. Staff helpful. We were given a room right at the top of the hotel, awkward stairs, which was not set up for our party of three adults. We were moved to a very nice room, one floor down, easy stairs, nice size, comfortable beds, nice bathroom, so we were very happy with our stay.

Easy access to secure parking and Ryde Pier. Good breakfast, wonderful staff, Karen was extremely accommodating on a very busy evening.

Linda

Staff very helpful and polite. Location was very good.

Linda

Friendly, welcoming staff. Clean rooms but fabric a little tired in places. Great location.

Graham

Great location, arrived early so my room was not ready but staff took my bags and put them in the room when it was ready.

David

United Kingdom

The room was large and we could see the sea from the window. Windows could be opened. Ate in the bar and the macaroni cheese was exceptional. Staff were friendly. Night porter on duty.

Diane

United Kingdom

Brilliant staff in a (very) traditional hotel which has been there since the early 19th Century. If you like bland modern hotels, stay away, but if you want period atmosphere, sometimes creaky stairs and floors, very personable and efficient staff, great value (and generously portioned) meals, a lavish English breakfast and free parking; this is the place!

Alex

United Kingdom

Comfortable, warm, spotless bed linen and towels.excellent breakfast.very friendly obliging staff. Left early because of the storm Ciara but would happily return for further visit and would definitely recommend.

Zandra

Keith

A comfortable, old-fashioned hotel on the main street (uphill from ferry and bus terminals). Single room 26 had lovely view over the Solent and was spacious. Breakfast was standard buffet arrangement, but with offer of other hot items (e.g. fried eggs) cooked to order. I had a meal on two nights in the restaurant which were both good, the set menu quite imaginative, though limited to 3 choices for each course; the a la carte menu fairly standard.

“A very comfortable, warm winter weekend break”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 4 nights
1. For those who need a lift to upper floors, note that due to the nature of the building, there is not one. 2. I reported the towel rail in the bathroom as not heating up - this did not bother me, but it would be worth anyone subsequently occupying room 26 checking whether this has been dealt with. 3. The staircase carpets and wallpaper are getting rather frayed and scuffed - need replacement to match the rest of the hotel's standard.
A comfortable, old-fashioned hotel on the main street (uphill from ferry and bus terminals). Single room 26 had lovely view over the Solent and was spacious. Breakfast was standard buffet arrangement, but with offer of other hot items (e.g. fried eggs) cooked to order.
