No proper mattress protector only an old blanket the blinds in the bathroom and the bedroom were ripped and the carpet looked very worn the gentleman that doubt with my problem was very good and gave me a full refund.

Lack of Real Ale Available
The only Issue we had was the lack of ales at the bar. Come Saturday evening, there was no real ale available at the hotel bar. This prevented us from eating at the hotel in the evenings.

Our room had 5 ceiling spotlights but only 1 worked and the table lamp also didn't work. Hence we were in the semi dark for 2 evenings as no maintenance people working over the bank holiday to replace 5 bulbs. Eventually ceiling light bulbs were changed but not the table lamp. Generally the hotel looked tired and were surprised that the restaurant was closed.

The staff are very friendly and helpful . The room was quite clean and spacious . I loved the little biscuit packets with the tea / coffee service in the room and the cute little soap bar . It is a very traditional and old fashioned hotel with lovely amenities and quaint paintings in the room .

Pleasant stay in Ryde
Nice clean bedroom. Unfortunately a lot of stairs to manouvre but on the whole a good friendly hotel and staff very well centred for the town and sea front all just a short walk away.

Needs fixing up.
Hotel requires lots of repair and maintenance as water damage in places and bits falling down. Pity as this could be a nice property with lots of historic character.

Good value budget hotel
Convenient location apart from being on a steep hill. However all the bus trips we made stopped at the top of the hill. Nicely decorated and comfortable bed. Ate evening meal on three occasions, which were all good quality and value, but menu limited. All in all, the stay was good value for a budget hotel
