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.
The views from the hotel are great, you can see across the Solent.

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. 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.
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.
This was a beautiful and well-decorated property. It's located in a quiet residential street but is just a few minutes walk away from shops, pubs, restaurants and beaches of the centre of Ryde. The photos on the website didn't really do it justice. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the kitchen well-equipped. There is a conservatory and a small garden with seating area, which was well-used during the fine weather during our stay. We had a lovely time and would be very happy to return.
The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Ilse of wight. Excellent property and very convenient to
activities. The front desk staff is extremely efficient, pleasant and helpful. The property is clean and has a fantastic old time charm.
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.
Breakfast was a superb bowl of fruit, extensive choice of cereal, fruit juice, tea/coffee and toast. No option of cooked breakfast - but I preferred what was offered.
I wanted somewhere that was not a hotel chain, and had character and a quiet garden and this was perfect.
Nice walk along quiet roads/cyclepath to Ryde
Yelfs is located in the best area of Ryde, with shops, restaurants and bars just stumbling distance away. The bar in Yelfs great too. The thing that Wally makes this hotel is THE STAFF. From the moment I walked in, they were super helpful. Breakfast was excellent and I will definitely be returning.
Dorset Hotel was beautiful, clean and very hospitable. The breakfasts were plentiful and the management and staff couldn't do enough for me. The location and views from the Hotel were exceptional.
The room was located near by to reach Ryde (5 mins walk). Space was clean, neat, spacious, comfy. Chris was kind enough to explain us about the island and it's specialities. Thanks Chris :)
