My wife had joined me for my weekend business appointment on the island and we turned my commitment into a night away. I had chosen to stay in one of their more expensive rooms which The Dorset Hotel markets as a suite. Our 'suite' was based on the ground floor at the front of the hotel. The centre of Ryde... More

This is my second tome staying at the Dorset and the staff are always friendly and help you to enjoy your stay. After breaking down down the side road of the hotel the receptionist was very helpful and let the rest of the party into their rooms as I waited for the AA!! We stayed in room 22 which had... More

stayed for one night and didn't want to be in the room. It smelt of damp and the appearance was poor. Didn't want to stay for breakfast as I did not enjoy my stay at all. very close to the main street in Ryde though so location is good.

Received a friendly warm welcome on arrival, although we were checking in after 9 pm. The hotel is traditional, small and conveniently placed and clean throughout. Decor is OK, but starting to look a little tired. A couple of car parking spaces are provided at the front for checking in only, with the main free car park at the rear... More

Helped to keep the price down. Front of the Hotel welcoming. But the room we had was looking a little bit tired, as did the basement dining room. We... More

I came across the Dorset Hotel when looking for alternatives to my usual Premier Inn choice for a one night stay. The Premier Inn in Newport was £107 a night plus breakfast but as I was only sleeping at the hotel then I was looking for a cheaper alternative that was clean and comfy. With The Dorset this is exactly... More

I have stayed here before and always found the hotel to be pleasant and welcoming. This was no exception. Check in was easy. The twin room was clean and presentable. The only criticism this time was that the room I had for this visit had slightly tired mattresses on the beds, and were not the most comfortable. If it was... More
