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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

There is no reception as such just wait at the bar..the girls were helpful. When I arrived one helped carry my bag up the stairs to my room, which was neat, tidy and clean. The breakfast waiter was also friendly. My negative was it was a bit noisy at night and it looks like it could do with some maintenance on the roof and the gutters, from my bedroom window. Having my bathroom separate to the room was a slight inconvenience but the location being right opposite the entrance to Osborne House was a plus. Also within walking distance to the shops and the ferry terminal. I could see from my window that maintenance needs to be done on the gutters.

value for money stay
The room was clean and comfortable. I didn't realise that the bathroom was not en-suit when I booked but it was for the room and not shared so it was fine for a short stay. The pub was closed for food and closed early so was not used for drinks, and it looks a bit shabby. The breakfast was good but not exceptional.
