Breakfast good and choices from evening menu very good. Convenient for visits to Osborne House
Friendly staff, checked in at the bar and even though it was busy the bartender was so friendly and showed us straight to the room with no wait. Comfy and well decorated room. Breakfast was great (they can do vegan if you ask and had 0 fuss).
We were very well looked after by our hosts and could see their passion in ensuring that everything was done to ensure an excellent stay.
Food was excellent and the chef has a real skill putting together a comprehensive menu.
Excellent stay as always, lovely room in the king size bedroom, really clean and well presented. Our doggies were made to feel so welcome too! Very friendly staff and we enjoyed both our breakfasts and evening meal.
We’ll definitely stay again on our next visit to the IOW, thank you!
Spent nine days here while visiting family on the island. The staff are amazing, all super friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and have everything you need. Bus stop is right out the front door to get you to Newport or Ryde. Would stay here again in a heartbeat
Friendly staff, clean rooms and quite comfortable.
I would have scored it higher if the thermostat on the radiator was working. The room became uncomfortably warm during the night, and I had to open the window because I couldn’t adjust the radiator

Friendly and helpful staff, a great breakfast, and a good location by the Osborne bus stop.
I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was very comfortable and the staff there were really accommodating. The breakfast was really good too. Definitely would recommend
I booked two rooms but there was confusion and only one room was booked and they gave us the last room. Our stay was good. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff were very polite and friendly. I would stay there again.
Little gem of a bar, restaurant and hotel. Very clean, lovely room very quaint, fabulous food and very friendly/helpful staff. Lovely beer garden and ideally situated for a visit to Osbourne house just literally over the road. Bus stop directly outside of the hotel so good for people without cars.
We found the Prince of Wales exceptionally well presented the rooms were very clean. Food excellent highly recommend . The staff were very friendly and accommodating nothing was too much trouble . The ambiance was very convivial.
We would definitely stay again .
Wonderful warm welcome and quality of the room was higher than we were expecting.

Nice location. Great staff but needs tlc
Rooms good size but disappointed about light bulbs being out, bin not emptied and general room wasn't cleaned. Food is really good and staff very friendly.
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.
Building does look shabby on the outside., but the interior and the room l had was modern clean and well maintained. The staff are friendly and the breakfast was excellent.
