Pros I arrived to find my room unclean, with cobwebs and a falling curtain. Despite the maintenance issues, the location was convenient. the breakfast was satisfactory. I recommend this hotel.

The kids had a blast with all the fun activities and games available.

For dads, it would be great to have a dedicated play area for children.

stayed at royal esplanade with very large rooms, super comfy beds, and easy access to public transport. breakfast was lovely, staff were very nice and helpful, and location was perfect. opposite hover port and bus station, 2 minutes from island railway line. enjoyed the best coffee shop in the area.

Nothing to complain about at all 😊.

Excellent staff, Victorian charm. Convenient location with beautiful seafront views. Clean and well-equipped rooms. Terrific breakfast with a good variety of food.

No complaints.

The location of this hotel is fantastic - just a short walk into town, close to the attractions, beaches, and transport links. the staff were super lovely and the rooms were clean with comfy beds.

Some rooms had very steep staircases to access, which may be challenging for some guests.

The staff at the hotel were amazing - I couldn't fault them. the room was clean and comfortable, with efficient breakfast service. the location was convenient, providing easy access to local landmarks like Ryde Beach and the Minster Church of St Thomas. Being close to the beach allowed for relaxing family time, and the staff's friendliness added to the enjoyable stay.

Had a lovely stay at a hotel near everything! Super comfy rooms, but breakfast felt rushed. Friendly staff and GREAT sea view. Would return, even better than photos. So charming! 🌟

Fantastic staff and delicious food

the team members went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience, and the chef even accommodated special requests seamlessly. the cleanliness of the room and some maintenance issues could be improved for a more comfortable stay.

I chose this hotel due to its superb location near the hovercraft terminus for a quick weekend getaway. the room was spotless with a big bathroom and lovely sea views. the breakfast choice was excellent, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. the outdoor seating area was a nice touch, and access to public transportation was a breeze.

Would recommend this hotel.

Friendly Staff: the breakfast/dining room staff were like energizer bunnies, ensuring every guest was well-fed and happy. It was like being in a musical, with them dancing around the room as if they were in a Broadway show, bringing smiles to everyone's faces. Cons: Dusty Wardrobe Tops.

The location of the hotel was superb, right by the beachfront with easy access to transportation. The breakfast was delightful, and the staff, particularly the breakfast team, were friendly and efficient. the room upgrade for a sea view was disappointing due to loud nightclub noises at 3 am. The room had weak wifi, minimal TV channels, and maintenance issues. Despite these drawbacks, the overall experience was pleasant, with a clean room and comfortable beds in a peaceful setting.
