Martin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I read the reviews of this hotel after booking and was a bit apprehensive but this hotel is clearly under new management. Staff so helpful and friendly breakfast was really tasty with fresh locally sources produce and I had the mixed grill in the evening (my go to meal), AMAZING! If I ever visit the IoW again I would happily stay at the Prince of Wales.

Literally across the street from the Osborne House. The rooms are named after the children of Queen Victoria, which was fun. Pub has good food both for the breakfast and other meals.

Wonderful warm welcome and quality of the room was higher than we were expecting.

6/10 Good

Nice hotel, overcharged and not refunded
Nice hotel, nice rooms, great food portions and good quality. However, we paid for 3 superior king rooms, were told on arrival they only have 1 avaliable, but 2 regular rooms, fine, accidents happen. We were told they will check if they can refund the difference between the 2 rooms we were downgraddled on, never received a call back. Spoke to hotels.com directly, they contacted the hotel who told them we "did receive 3 Superior king rooms". So, despite having used hotels.com for years with no real negative occurences, this one was definitely a first, being left out of pocket and then essentially called a liar, excellent customer service.

The pub is currently being upgraded and although our stay was good I am sure in a few weeks time it will be even better.

Great place to stay, perfectly located for Osbourn
Lovely little bed and breakfast. Pub was tidy and good priced. Room was clean and styled similar to Osbourne House. Would definitely visit and stay again.
Jason, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We chose this property for it's proximity to Osbourne House, (which is literally across the road) and a fabulous place to visit. The hotel is fairly standard for it's era, but very clean with a good breakfast and is good value for money.
Stewart, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Authentic and good
This is a very authentic hotel/pub. A bit dated but we enjoyed it. The staff were very friendly, breakfast was good - full English :-) coffee tasty! And the best if you travel by bus from Ryde the bus stop is direct in front of the pub door! The hotel is as well very close to the Osborne House.

Cozy and convenient!
We enjoyed our stay at the Prince of Wales. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. The bus stop was right outside the doors and very convenient. We look forward to visiting again!

Out of season stay
Out of season pleasant stay. The room was clean and tastefully furnished though on the small side. Staff were friendly and helpful. Decent english breakfast, cooked to order.

4/10 Fair

The toilets use a pump to get rid of toilet waste. Every time someone went to the toilet in any room you hear a low rumble, squeaks and pipes shudder. The place is very dated but clean
Barry, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was a fairly clean and comfortable hotel. However there were some areas in need or renovation and cleaning, and the breakfast was mediocre. Service was not very good - the younger staff were pleasant and helpful but senior staff seemed stressed and uninterested. I was surprised that a night costing this sum was not of a higher standard, and was also surprised that a historic property and area of such interest was not of a higher quality
Elaine, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

very friendly staff however the service for breakfast was awful and the coffee was instant and food unappetising, messy tables. Thehotel is in need of some serious TLC.
maria, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

We booked a room and arrived at 9pm to find the hotel closed when check-in time end according to the website at 10pm. Hotel refused to refund us as it was a non refundable room but it is their mistake. Please be aware check in end at 9pm
