We stayed for our wedding anniversary, really enjoyed our stay, the quality of the hotel was outstanding . We ate in the hotel restaurant, the food and service was excellent. We’d recommend this hotel highly to any thinking of staying on the Isle of Wight.

Lovely historic hotel in a great location with a garden overlooking the Solent. The room was beautifully furnished and presented and we experienced a consistently high standard of customer service especially in the restaurant. Whilst I do understand that it’s important to share terms and conditions prior arrival so they’re clear, I did find the tone of the wording in the welcome email I received a little threatening. Having said that, we both enjoyed our stay immensely and hope to be back soon.

We had a wonderful stay. Loved the hotel and the terrace where we had drinks and our delicious evening meal. We liked the historic character of the hotel and particularly the fun George portraits on the main staircase. The room was very comfortable and well equipped and all the staff couldn’t do enough to help you. Breakfast was very good and served in the conservatory. As you are in the prime position in Yarmouth you also have all the cafes, restaurants and shops right on your doorstep. Very convenient for the ferry.

The best thing about this hotel is the amazing terrace beach/bar and restaurant. Brilliant holiday vibe on a sunny day - you could be in Ibiza. The food is excellent and service around restaurant/bar very good. Once you get to the first floor of the hotel it all looks very tired and is very different to the ground floor. Carpets are threadbare in places in the hallways. The family room was adequate but for the price was a bit grotty in places, in particular the bathroom. There was no plug socket near the mirror so I had to dry my hair using a socket in the wardrobe and using the tv as a mirror! We had to complain about the rug when we arrived it was all crinkled and big folds - a real trip hazard. It was the first thing you noticed - a massive colourful crumpled rug on the floor. Weird how they thought this was ok and even more weird that maybe no one else had complained prior. They straightened it a little but it needs to be removed. Milk isn't provided in the fridge but you can request it - but it didn't materialise the first evening and the coffees weren't replenished either one day. Breakfast in the restaurant was excellent and service great too. The only advantage of staying here is that you get guaranteed tables outside etc for drinks/dining. Im sure there are other better hotels locally. From the outside this is the most unattractive venue in Yarmouth, where everything else looks very pristine.

Lovely building and location, nice touches in the room but marred by poor service and the horrendous amount of noise. On arrival we asked for a quiet room but were given a room on the first landing which meant we could hear every conversation in reception and every guest coming up the stairs and opening doors and closing doors. We could hear every footstep in the room upstairs and noise from the room next door. We asked to change rooms but were told the hotel was full and the noise would stop when the restaurant closed. It didn’t, it got worse. At 11:30pm when the vacuuming started, my husband had to go down in his pajamas and tell them to stop as we were trying to sleep. The vacuuming stopped but the banging and talking carried on until after midnight. I got maybe two hours sleep. Service was poor, there was no milk in the room so we rang down and asked for some and it didn’t turn up. I was really looking forward to staying here but it was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. Such a shame because there were some nice things about it but the noise was intolerable.

Simply loved it !!
4.6
Lovely garden and a great location.
Restaurant service was slow - even at breakfast when it did not appear to be busy.
Food was good, but we would have expected that room rate to have included a full breakfast. There was nothing in our booking confirmation which said that only continental breakfast was included and that we would have to pay extra for cooked food.
4.6
We enjoyed our stay. The staff were marvellous. Nothing was too much trouble. Would go again.
4.6
Hotel location is marvellous. Lovely old building on the Solent.
4.6
Lovely weekend break with the wife and lovely hotel with some great history. Staff were absolutely wonderful and nothing was too much trouble. The down side was the noisy party of 18 celebrating grandmas birthday and the kids running riot until 1am slamming bedroom doors and generally poorly behaved. Not the hotels fault and parents should have stepped up. Service and staff faultless and perfect base to explore the island.

Great stay, lovely room, nice bar, friendly staff, all very good 😊

Generally lovely hotel, some quirks like slopping floors. Reception is beautiful, rooms clean and spacious. Tea and coffee facilities has so many options.
Only negative was the radiator, which although turned down still felt like it was a furnace
4.6
small windows but very cozy room and super Amazing Breakfast! I would go there again for breakfast!
4.6
Excellent service. Nice location. Bed was far too soft and duvet far too heavy to get good sleep.
4.6
The George is a splendid old building over 300 years old. The rooms are large, well appointed and have beautiful modern bathrooms. At the back there are the retaurant and terrace leading on to a garden that goes right to the sea’s edge - a lovely place for relaxation and refreshment. The restaurant food is very good quality, probably the best in Yarmouth. It does not have its own parking but parking was not an issue as plenty public parking was available. We stayed for one night but would plan our next visit to be there longer.

Lovely hotel, lovely staff and close to the harbour and shops
