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.

Ryde is a lovely place to visit has everything you need from shops to fish and chip shops to gift shops. With a lovely beach where you can enjoy watching the hovercraft coming in and out or sit on the golden sandy beach or if you have small children there is a small fun fair for them to enjoy.

Ryde has a lovely beach great for long walks and playing for children . There are plenty of places to eat and drink . There is a good bus station allowing you to venture to different parts of the island and the hovercraft link back to Southsea on the mainland is just a 15 minute trip very handy .
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.
Nice cosy room. Clean and comfortable. Glad to have the tea and coffee facilities. Location on the Esplanade was exceptional, and was very close to the centre of Ryde for access to shops and eateries. Also right opposite the bus stand so very useful for getting around the island during the weekend. Very clean and spacious bathroom. I was impressed by the ethos that had led to the setting up of the hotel in the first place - long may it continue to do the good work!
Cozy, Character, Comfortable
Dorset Hotel is a welcoming bed and breakfast establishment located in the heart of Ryde. The staff are friendly and very accommodating. Rooms are clean, comfortable, some with a great view of the solent. Cooked to order breakfast is served in a inviting room on lower level. For a very reasonable rate, in central Ryde, highly recommended this place.
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.
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.
Location for sea crossing arrival and buses to travel the Island are across the road. Full breakfast choice. Lovely friendly staff. Plenty if hot water in the newly fitted shower. Clean fresh room with a firm comfortable bed. Outside courtyard bar patio area at rear of hotel. A few local bars within walking distance fro 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 Hotel was perfectly situated in the centre of Ryde. For a 3 star Hotel the rooms were good and we were provided with the bed types that we had asked for. The breakfast was first class. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I would have no hesitation in staying there again.
Staff so helpful, I arrived early and they were able to check me in. This hotel is a little oasis of calm - beautiful grounds and one of the best spas I have ever used in a hotel. The lavender sauna cannot be missed! I only stayed one night but it felt like a real break.
The room was functional & thank goodness modernised in comparison to the rest of the hotel. Not somewhere I would book again by any means, but it literally served a purpose being the last place we could find ‘cheap’ for the festival weekend.
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.
All went very well. The dining room was very nice and the breakfasts very good. The bedroom was in a quiet spot and comfortable. The hotel for me was in a perfectly centrally located.
