Prince of Wales

Friendly, close to ferry, nice clean bedroom. Under new management and being refurbished but still comfortable stay.

Short car journey(5 Mins) from the ferry port, warm welcome from Samantha (new owner). Accommodation warm, clean and ideal for our stay. Staff very friendly, polite and helpful with information of the Island. Food: Breakfast was exceptional and varied choice. Evening meals in the restaurant were excellent and a menu with something to everyone's liking and perfectly presented and very tasty. A very good base to explore the island with Osborne a short walk away. This hotel has gone through a major refurb and rebranding in the last few months, and we wish them well with their new venture.

The breakfast was really good, our room whilst small was comfortable enough and most importantly clean. I was pleased that the shower had decent power and warm water. The room was quiet, although on a Saturday night you have to accept that a pub with entertainment is going to have some noise and the drag queen was very good and finished at a reasonable time). Location is great, we got the No.5 bus from Newport (15mins and literally stops at the pub door!) and literally cross the road to Osborne House. Evening food is not available but they recommended the Victoria Tavern which did tasty food with friendly service about 15mins walk away. A few things we would suggest for improving is teaspoons in the room and it to be clear that the pub is actually closed until 3pm in the week, rather than just this being the check in time. This is totally on us for not getting in touch, but we did try to leave our bags around 1130 before going to Carisbrooke Castle (understanding we wouldnt get to go to our room) but it was locked up. Not their fault, but something to be aware of if you want to do the same.
