Yelf's Hotel

Very nice hotel. Great location.

Great central location - helpful & efficient staff

Good location in a convenient shopping area. The hotel is old and the shower 🚿 was not clean and only had a little water came out.

The hotel is perfectly situated on Ryde's Main Street, close to shopping, restaurants and the ferry. Pros: Location, size of room, quiet, comfortable mattress, tea & coffee supplies, staff were friendly and hard working. reasonable price for hotel stay and restaurant/bar Cons: Rooms need TLC, including everyday maintenance. (Out of 7 ceiling pot lights, one worked; carpet dirty, curtain pulls missing, mold in bathroom area) Staffing: housekeeping - staff shortages (room serviced after 4pm on one day); short kitchen staff (all meals came from the pub/restaurant next store)

Hotel looked a bit "tired". But overall happy with the 2 nights we spent there.

This hotel is in a desperate state. Rooms are in need of a complete refurb . The carpets are threadbare, bathrooms dirty and damp , lounge looks like something out of the sixties. Breakfast was awful with eggs floating in oil , bacon half cooked and one poor waitress trying hard to cover the whole dining room. I had no sleep due to the noise off the Main Street and single glazed windows in rotting frame. Also had a window cleaner banging on the windows at seven in the morning. In summary an absolute tip .. don’t waste your money.

This was my first choice of hotel for my visit for Ryde. I spoke to a woman on the phone, and she told me that the wheel chair is accessible for a wheelchaired individual such as myself, she lied! I arrived at the building a few days later to find some giant steps I was expected to bunny hop up to get to the reception, there is no lift, family members commented on the narrow hallways.

Very relaxing atmosphere with a great bar where you can enjoy a peaceful drink. Perfect for a little getaway. Super nice staff. Breakfast yummy and served red hot to order. Nothing was too much trouble. We have stayed at Ryde Castle and Appley Manor on the IOW in the past but we will staff at Yelf’s next time.

Wonderful to celebrate my birthday with some of my family at Yelfs today. We often enjoy coffee and cake or a spot of lunch in the bar but this is the first time we have used the restaurant. The menu was really extensive and meant those who wanted a lighter but could and those a full meal were also catered for. My Dad and I had the prawn linguine, my husband sausages and mash, my sister sandwich and chips, Mum the tuna jacket potato and our final guest the falafel! All generous portions and delicious. Also, priced much cheaper than we would have expected for the quality. We had a lovely spacious table with linen table cloths and lit candles, making us feel special. The chef also sent out a free dessert for me! How kind, plus what surprise and delight! Thank you will be using the restaurant more as locals.
