Room looked like not been cleaned for weeks , Found lots of black hairs everywhere and me and my partner both blonds . Was very dusty under bed & mattress was very soft and cheap & very uncomfortable , was very noisy at night as only single glazing & the worst is you lose a whole day as can't book in until after 3pm & have to book out on last day by 10 am .

Ryde has most things in the town , right next to the beach , great train, open top bus and hovercraft and ferry all in one place, fantastic
We loved it
Nice breakfast places
Nice Restraunt’s , good pubs
Ryde has some steep hills but the front is flat
The parking people are very sharp and take pictures rather than stick it on your car.

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.
The room was comfortable and there was plenty of space to put my belongings. It was also quiet as it was at the back of the hotel. The breakfast was great as there was plenty of choice and the dining room was spacious. The staff were friendly and willingly helped me with my suitcase as there were some stairs to go up and down even though there was a lift. I felt fine there even though I was on my own. I liked the location as it's situated right opposite Ryde Esplanade railway station. Taxis and buses are opposite too, plus the Hovercraft.
Our hosts were very welcoming and made us feel at home. We were delighted with the local area information that was given to us, it really helped us plan our time on the Isle of Wight. Breakfasts are continental style with delicious fresh fruit salads. We were well catered for. The house is situated in a private & secluded area with fabulous gardens to access. It is easily accessed by bus or a 20 min walk into Ryde. We used local buses to travel around the Island & found these to be frequent, reliable and affordable.
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.
Our second stay with Great Hosts . Beautifully decorated and clean and fresh. We were lucky to have lovely weather too, and the sea view from the balcony was a bonus . Everything we needed and a delicious fresh cake baked for our arrival and lots of extras we weren't expecting.
The bed was so comfy. The location again was great. All local amenities and close to shops bars and restaurants. We enjoyed a lovely meal at the castle hotel. Would highly recommend. And will definitely be returning ourselves!
clean rooms
the only thing let us down was booking.com not passing the correct information onto the hotel I changed my booking soon after I book hotel to a Superior Double Room which wasn’t passed onto Ryde Castle but amount to pay had been charged.
I paid for a superior room which I didn’t get.
Hotel have refunded me some money but I had to complain to hotel because the room I got wasn’t what I paid for.
I have used booking.com for long time this was booking .com’s fault not the hotel
Super close to Ryde pier ,close to all shops and restaurants, beach ..staff was amazing and welcoming ,stored our bags until we could check in /out .The rooms are great . There are 2 large communal bathrooms with toilets and I extra toilet ,1 massive shared kitchen and 1 shared eating sitting lounge area .All super clean and we made use of the communal areas as we were several friends staying .
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.
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.
There wasn't a breakfast as such but food could be bought at times from the bar. There was a kitchen & dining area within the building if you wished to take in your own food to heat & prepare it, with a cupboard allocated to each room containing your own utensils, along with a fridge to store any fodstuffs.
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.
Having booked the Dorset hotel I was very well looked after all the staff were excellent and friendly facilities great, breakfast included full English among other choices, would have used the back patio but weather did not permit. No complaints definitely book again. Thank you Dorset hotel
A great little apartment in the center of Ryde. Great for exploring the Island and a nice peaceful location. Good facilities and the apartment had everything you could need. Kerrie was a great host and it was nice to know she was only on the phone if there were any issues - but we had none!
The property was very clean and furnished to a high standard, with everything we needed. The bedrooms were lovely and comfortable. There was a great welcome pack on arrival. Is a lovely garden and outdoor seating area. The host very kindly took us to the ferry on departure.
I loved the welcoming, friendly and professionalism from all staff.
I really enjoyed my stay, everyone was happy and upbeat , I was made to feel relaxed and important. 😊
I would recommend Yelfs Hotel in a heart beat. 💓
This hotel is basic but suited what I needed as a base to visit the island. It’s no frills but is sensibly priced and was clean. Really close to Ryde city centre and the train station all within walking distance
