Room 23 w seaview of Solent, ships, beach, hovercraft, Spinnaker Tower and Portsmouth in distance. Must be best room in hotel for views and comfort. Huge room. Clean, warm, light and airy. Impressive, plentiful hot drinks tray. Gorgeous bath/ shower. Small private car park £5/day on the next road.

Receptionist directions to car park could be clearer. Eg look for hotel signage, look for double gates. Instead instructed look opposite tyre firm. I’m a visitor so I don’t know tyre firm. Is it 100m? 1000m? Upon checking out I did hear a different receptionist give perfect directions to guest. Minor issue. Bathroom sink cold tap is hard to turn off so water can be wasted if you forget to check. Minor issue.

Loved the location and the amenities of the hotel. Not too expensive and there was nothing staff wouldn't assist with

We enjoyed it but some may be put off by the sound of the hovercraft leaving or arriving

It was a nice hotel, great location, over the road from train/bus links, making it easy to get around the island if you wanted a day off from driving. Close to beach, shops, plenty of places to eat and things to do. Very clean, friendly staff were always happy to help. The hotel restaurant served excellent food and the bar & lounge were nice places to relax.

While it was nice having a room with a sea view, due to the building being listed the windows are old/thin, you could hear everything, which could be loud late at night when bars were closing, making it difficult to sleep sometimes. The bed could benefit from a new mattress as the current one creaked every time you turned over. Blackout curtains would also be great as the street lights were very bright and lit up the room all night. The trains and hover crafts start early, so again, be prepared for a noisy start to your day. We're sure not all rooms would be the same, our friends were on a higher floor sea view room and didn't experience the amount noise we did.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is marvellous as it is opposite the transport hub enabling easy travel across the island. The breakfast room was light and airy and the cooked breakfast was tasty and cooked to order. Our sea view room was perfectly adequate in terms of space and the en suite was a good size.

The windows really need a clean. Lovely sea view but marred by dirty glass. The en suite needs updating as the shower is inadequate. The cold buffet breakfast was very limited with no fresh rolls or pastries. I would prefer to access hot drinks myself rather than asking the staff for refills.

Stayed here before as I love it. Fab Victorina Hotel right on the front and centrally located in Ryde and pretty quiet too. You can watch the Hovercrafts travel to and from Portsmouth. Rooms really comfy. Bar lovely and staff really friendly and helpful. Plenty of eateries around the hotel if you don't fancy staying in and the breakfast is good. Only downside is the wifi is non existent on the upper floors but no issues and having a pint in the bar using the wifi seems preferable! As it's Victorina there are alot of stairs but there is the lift that handles most of the them. Top floor has additional stairs to rooms so ask first. No private parking but plenty of street parking so no issues.

Biscuit- - digestive great ! Victoria cake delicious!

It sounds like your breakfast experiences were a bit underwhelming. Here’s a quick breakdown: • Day 1: The bacon was overly salty, and the sausage didn’t meet quality expectations—perhaps lacking in flavor or texture. • Day 2: Scrambled eggs with toast, but the eggs were on the dry side, which can make the meal less enjoyable. For improvement, they might consider using a less salty bacon, a higher quality sausage, and ensuring the eggs are cooked to a softer consistency. A bit of butter or jam could also help with dry toast!

Hotel close to the ferries & other transport links. My single room was very comfortable. Plenty of tea, coffee & milk. The hot chocolate sachet was appreciated. The staff I intereacted with were lovely.

My room was at the back of the hotel which wasn't a problem but there was a constant dull noise early in the morning which sounded like a tumble dryer & woke me up on both mornings. The couple of staff I mentioned it to couldn't think what the noise was. Having previously lived on the IW, I knew it wasn't the hovercraft which was suggested. I was out all day but couldn't hear the noise when I got back in the evening.

Great place to stay and sea view room was very spacious. Breakfast was good and the one evening meal we had was excellent. Staff were very friendly and most were very helpful.

We booked this hotel as my wife struggles with stairs due to her reduced mobility. The entrance was up steps, and we had to climb stairs from the lift to access our room. We did manage but I think hotel should advertise that the lift does not access all rooms and some stairs are needed to climb or go down, depending on your room location.

A minute from getting of the ferry. When arrived the lady receptionist was so pleasant and friendly, was a beautiful building. Was only staying whilst going to isle of wight festival and she got us even more excited for it. The bus to the festival was right outside so incredibly convenient. Room Was gorgeous, will definitely be using again.

The night reception was a tad rude considering the lady from earlier jad told us to look after the key and gave us a slip that said our details in case we lost it. Upon returning to the hotel the guy snarkily told us we was meant to leave the key and was quite rude about it. Only staff member that we had an issue with the whole time everyone else was amazing

Location was great with our sea view room. The staff were very good in organising an extra bed in the room fir our second grandson to come with us. Cooked Breakfast was very good, some fresh fruit would have been nice. All staff were very nice,cheerful and helpful. We used the cafe for drinks and cake on our last day which again was very good.

The room was very nice although the children couldn't see out of the windows very well as they were very dirty, it spoilt the Seaview that we paid for. Very difficult to open the windows for air, there was a piece of wood left under the window but was very heavy to lift. I think this needs to be looked at and improved. The bathroom was adequate and well presented although shabby and in need of refurbishment.
