The Seaview Hotel and Restaurant in Isle of Wight

Had a lovely lunch, food was amazing, service was superb, we both throughly enjoyed, however BEWARE Management operate an ANTI-CASH POLICY. was able to eventually pay in cash, no change available however!

Really enjoyed our stay lovely hotel and staff were so helpful. Staff could not do enough for us nothing was a problem for them. The room was really lovely and spotless. I hope we can return soon as we really enjoyed our stay there. Would highly recommend this 🏨 .

AwfulI didn’t have a good experience with seaview hotel and restaurantDirty knifes on the dinner tableDirty glasses on the dinner table alsoThick dust behind the bed side tableHair in the bathroomBanging Music untill 11pmDinner was not very niceDidn’t even get a double bed that I paid for got 2 singles pushed together ended up with an even more achy back!Staff are not that helpful and didn’t seem to care! I would avoid this place as it’s not cheap and meant to be a AA rosette restaurant!Breakfast was even worse the bacon didn’t looked cooked other than the char grill marks and was cold and the egg was hard and the beans was burnt! I do not recommend!

The only complaint I can have is that the room was too hot even with thermostat turned down!! Me and my girlfriend stayed here for one night as a valentines getaway! Upon entering the hotel we were told straight away we had been upgraded to a superior room!! The room was nice enough, very clean and my girlfriend loved the fact she could have a bath and watch tv at the same time!! 🤣🤣 food was amazing my only downfall was ordering the black corset trifle which although very nice was quite rich for my palette!! The staff were very friendly and accommodating would definitely return in the future!!

I will strongly recommend to have a try on their lunch menu, which the dcuk leg is absolutely 5/5, definitely worth a try if you come to Ryde for the first time!

Nicely decorated room and public areas but a bit short on soundproofing. No actual sea view but only steps away from the esplanade. Great breakfasts. Good selection of food in the evening. Tesla chargers for guests.

We didn’t stay at the hotel but we chose this place for my husbands birthday dinner whilst on holiday in the Isle of Wight last week. It was recommended by the owners of the Airbnb we were staying in and as it was dog friendly in the pump room, we went for it. Wish we hadn’t! Overpriced, underwhelming, over rated and would not recommend. The service (as experienced in a lot of places we went to in IOW) was what I would call ‘hostile’ - clearly favoured the regulars/residents over us as potential one times/holiday makers. I ordered the seafood bouillabaisse and was so disappointed. The amount of seafood was shocking for the price (5 mussels, 2 langostine, 5 small pieces of salmon and a few bits of white fish) and the base itself was tasteless and lacking the ‘plum tomato’ written on the menu. My Dad had the steak which came medium when he asked for rare and once again for the price, you would expect it to come out perfect. My Mum’s and husbands meals were fine but that’s all they were. Such a let down after us looking forward to it all week!

Enjoyed a 2 course lunch with some great wine yesterday. Professional yet friendly staff and relaxed brasserie. Lovely front terrace overlooking the bay where we have enjoyed drinks and watched the world go by. Recommend!

Just visited the restaurant but left very underwhelmed. Duck was overcooked, and dry, 'spicey' aubergine steak was lethally hot (inedible). Stick with the chips and you should be okay! We did mention this to the waiter but it wasn't followed up as if they didn't really care. Only on the island for a week and such a shame we spent our last night here as I know it could be so much better!

Special lunch time visit last week, looking forward to my favourite crab ramekin. Very disappointed the hotel's signature dish is no longer on the.menu. Reason given was cost of crab meat. Strangely crab dishes seem plentiful elsewhere on the island. My email query about this is still unanswered. Shame as staff on day were very helpful.
