Top Classic Boat Museum Hotel Reviews

24 Ward Avenue

8/10 Good

"Lovely owners. Wonderful breakfast and a great location."

Prince of Wales

10/10 Excellent

"The Prince of Wales has bus-stops immediately outside the building and it is located opposite the entrance to Osborne House. Our breakfasts were generous in terms of portions and any extra requirements arrived swiftly. Our room was very good value and it was very quiet. Two minor issues with fixtures were resolved quickly and cheerfully. We did not have a car during this visit, but the bus journey from the East Cowes dock took only a few minutes on the local bus service. Great value , great location, and helpful staff."
