Ryde Ryde Beach Hotels

"Very nice hotel which is centrally located and ideal for both town and the esplanade, breakfast was very nice and the staff were friendly and helpful. The shower pressure was good and the only change I would make to a premier room would be a larger TV and a fridge. Otherwise it was the perfect place to stay."

"I particularly liked the location of the hotel which is near the pierhead the trains and the bus terminus There is a good restaurant and bar The armchairs in the lounge could go with replacing but if you like Victorian hotels you will like this"

"Stayed a couple of nights for a cycling weekend, nice en suite room with tea and coffee, comfortable bed, good English breakfast. Excellent value for money. "

"The location and standard of the hotel was great, and the scaffolders turned up at 6am, end of sleep"

"Hotel is tired and in need of big investment. The downstairs bar and reception area is good and has been renovated. Restaurant room is only open Fri/Sat/Sun so other days any food is only served in bar area. Breakfast is served in restaurant and is good. The first floor hallway was being painted so dust sheets etc around. Our room Number 12 was a Superior class which had recently been redecorated and re upholstered. New curtains and large lamps. Nice layout with double aspect, large sleigh style bed, an ottoman, two seat sofa and large arm chair, also desk and chair. Kettle etc provided but no biscuits or hot chocolate. Sachets of milk and minimum amount of beverages. Bathroom was large with P shaped bath and shower, newly tiled walls. Basic hand and shower products. The plumbing was difficult! toilet flush difficult to press buttons in and flush not strong. Warnings on taps saying water may be hot. That actually means sometimes it will be hot, other times lukewarm or cold. Water temperature flowed in waves with separate delivery of cold warm and yes, hot but didn’t mix properly. The shower was better at mixing. We used the bath but only got low temp warm water. Next morning housekeeping did not clean it. Shower head needed descaling too. Chrome in bathroom had not been replaced and now didn’t shine or was rusting. All windows were old wooden sash style which were draughty and let in noise from road outside. Music from bar could be heard until about 11 pm"

"Good location and price. Welcoming staff. "

"The windows were thick with grey stuff, which I assume to be mould. there was no expelair in the bathroom and you couldn't open the window. The double room was cramped - narrow space up the side of the bed and no bedside tables. There was a rude sign outside the breakfast area: No (double underlined) admission before 8.30. On our first day the door to this was locked because the chef was late. On the good side, the owners have made an effort with some of the decor and also with producing good food. At breakfast, however there are only coffee bags and the breakfast table had 4 croissants (for 4 double rooms). The chef did not offer bread or toast, but brought it if asked. "

"It certainly was a cosy stay. Lovely and warm on entering which was good as it was sheeting rain as we arrived! The house is really well equipped, quiet and well located. The only negative things I’d say are that the furnishings and paintwork are looking a little tired in places. Curtains not hanging on hooks, paintwork chipped, bathroom needs some tlc, outside entrance area again just a bit scruffy but overall fine. "

"Good"
