The Price if Wakes is conveniently located on the main road (A3921) between East Cowes and Whippingham, Isle of Wight. The inn is directly across from the main entrance to Osborne House estates. There are comfortable rooms, some with ensuite facilities, and a pub/restaurant/breakfast room on the ground floor. Free parking is available on-site, and it is approximately 1/2 -mile walk to Osborne House. The breakfasts were fresh, hot, and plentiful...cooked by Dean. Wifi and television are included in your stay.

The owners have clearly made a great effort to make sure this old building gives you a welcoming environment. The room was spacious and clean, the Wi-Fi excellent and secure and the room servicing great. The whole environment was well looked after. If you thought that was good? - I can’t speak highly enough of the staff; reception, bar, breakfast & dinner - all different people but all gave excellent service. I have no problem in returning next time we are on the Island.

The room was small. The traffic noise was constant. The cleanliness was poor. I tripped using the stairs as there are a number of dark. unlit areas on the staircase.

The Prince of Wales is immediately opposite the entrance to Osborne House, which was the purpose of our visit. Also very close to East Cowes ferry terminal. Very helpful and welcoming staff, and a good menu for dinner. Only negative was rather loud live music, but being Saturday night that wasn't too surprising, Overall very happy with this place, and would happily return.

I read the reviews of this hotel after booking and was a bit apprehensive but this hotel is clearly under new management. Staff so helpful and friendly breakfast was really tasty with fresh locally sources produce and I had the mixed grill in the evening (my go to meal), AMAZING! If I ever visit the IoW again I would happily stay at the Prince of Wales.

Literally across the street from the Osborne House. The rooms are named after the children of Queen Victoria, which was fun. Pub has good food both for the breakfast and other meals.

Jacquie

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was adequate. The shower was extremely small, it proved difficult to shower without hitting your arms on something. The bed was a cast iron bedstead with creaky springs, and the mattress was very uncomfortable, I did not sleep well. The bin in the shower room had not been emptied from the previous occupant. This was my husband and I's honeymoon night and I booked for bed and breakfast, however, we were greeted at the breakfast table with a "payment required" notice. This then entailed calling the manager who said that my invoice showed I had paid for room only. I then had to spend time scrolling through my phone to find MY invoice from Expedia to prove that I HAD paid for bed and breakfast. We had asked for coffee, and although we had seen a coffee machine, the coffee served was instant, which neither of us like. The manager blamed the invoice error on "the app" but it put a real dampener on our stay and I would suggest you take a look at your "app". Overall, we were not that impressed, and not inclined to stay there again.

We chose this property for it's proximity to Osbourne House, (which is literally across the road) and a fabulous place to visit. The hotel is fairly standard for it's era, but very clean with a good breakfast and is good value for money.
