The room was absolutely gorgeous, and very comfy with a lovely view. I spent a lot of time in the Veteran bar downstairs too and all of the staff and regulars were incredibly friendly! I basically got adopted by the lot of them. I was over for my friends wedding and everyone remembered that and asked how it went. I was only there for a week but it honestly felt like I'd known everyone for years, and I had a great time whether I was having a drink with people or just sitting quietly doing a crossword at the bar.
If you're looking for somewhere to stay in ryde I absolutely reccomend the veteran, even if you don't want to visit the bar (which you should!) the room is incredible for the price!
I also don't know why booking.com decided I'm from Cambodia, but I was visiting from Ireland!

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.
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.
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!
I stayed in Room 9. A good size family room. I did not have breakfast. The location was very good for FastCat and Hovercraft. Close to the beach although half way up the high street a little steep but not an issue. Good location for railway and buses. Great beach at Ryde. The hotel is a pub but no noise in my room. Clean and the staff helpful when I arrived. Coffee/tea available in the room
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.
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.
The owner is wonderful! Very welcoming and accomodating. Hotel is in a good location with some parking available on site. Fridge in the room was a massive bonus! Rooms was a good size for our family of 3. We didn't use but there is a kitchen available on the ground floor.
I have stayed at The Ryde Castle on a number of occasions over the years. They very kindly always allow me Room 18 which faces south, so when there is sun it pours through all the windows. I don't need the sea view as I live overlooking Portsmouth Harbour.
the property was in an excellent postition for the pier and catching buses,the hotel was well kept and clean
There was an outside garden well sheltered from wind also a large conservatory area,plenty of seats in doors to enjoy a drink.
location was awesome. amazing kitchen facilities! rooms and common areas very clean. can’t say I would stay again because we like quiet locations but if you are in for the pubs and evening life this could be a great place.
The hotel is very convenient to Ryde town The room was spotlessly clean and bright and sunny with ensuite. And the beds were comfortable. We didn,t have breakfast because we prefer to have brunch later.
The dining room and food were good and the service was very good. The room was clean and tidy and the bed was clean and comfortable. Hotel location excellent.
This is a lovely friendly hotel right in the heart of Ryde and less than 5 minutes from the buses and the high street.
Breakfast is great too. Cooked very nice
