Dorset Hotel, Isle of Wight ★★★

"Very clean and friendly staff"

Ryde Castle by Greene King Inns ★★★

Travelodge Ryde Isle of Wight ★★★

"We visited family in Southsea and decided to pop over to the Isle of Wight for a couple of days. Travelling by hovercraft we decided to stay in Ryde as we weren't going to be there for an extended holiday. We found Anchor Down online and it looked promising. Booked for 2 nights. Its close to the hovercraft terminal, literally 5 minutes away. Easy to find. On arrival we were greeted by the owners Chris and Desiree. Chris can trace his heritage back to the time of Charles I. They are a fascinating couple who have led an exciting existence. Our room, The Captain, was spacious and comfortable. The view from the window right across the Solent. A comfortable chair to relax into that view, watching the ferry's, catamaran's and hovercraft making their journeys back and forth. Desi has thought of everything to make your stay exceptional, a welcome pack including tea and coffee making facilities, mini fridge and breakfast ingredients. They also currently have a deal with a local Cafe providing full cooked breakfast for a reduced price when staying at Anchor Down. En suite is spacious too with a lovely big shower area. Chris and Desiree have a wealth of local knowledge to share that will make your stay on the island so much better. All in all we found it great value with wonderful hosts, and I have no doubt we will be back again as we still have so much to explore."

Lakeside Park Hotel & Spa ★★★★

"The only saving grace are the reception staff and a couple if others. Generally the staff are surely and act like you are an inconvience. Example. Try asking for a pot of tea at breakfast. 6 morning in,4 mornings pointed to a hot water dispenser and a tea bag before grudgingly served a pot os tea. Sometimes with milk and tea cups sometimes not There is a menu but it’s well hidden. The buffet is just cheap food service products that look stale and uninviting. Really poor effort The room is so tired I felt sorry for it. The curtains so old and frail that as you pull them they rip, literally. I don’t think it has been updated in 20 years. Even the room ridge has gone missing. Just a gap where it should be An expensive place that looks and feels like a premiere inn but at over £200+ a night very far from where it should be One more night then onward thank goodness"

The Fishbourne ★★★★

"It was my Birthday & my husband took me for an evening meal. as a surprise, he had arranged for my Son & his family from the Mainland to surprise me. We had a lovely evening & it was indeed a really great surprise, seeing my family, who had gone to some trouble or be there for my Birthday. The Fishbourne was chosen precisely for its proximity to the ferry. Sadly, the whole evening was spoiled by my Daughter in law receiving a very steep car parking fine for her car some days later through the post. We went back to the Fishbourne to explain that they had not seen the notices in the carpark, due to being more intent on surprising me & my husband forgot to mention it. The bar staff did not mention it either. The I pad on a stand at the bar was hidden by customers too. We were offered no resolution as the parking arrangement is by a third party. Suffice to say,, we will not be going back whilst this ridiculous parking arrangement is in place & an awful attitude by management with no interest in helping to resolve the situation. We spent £110 for the meal & £80 in car parking. Never again."

St Michaels House ★★★
