Admiral House Hotel  

The position for getting about. The better room in 305

Lack of milk in the room. The terrible view from 306.

The hotel position was excellent, only a few yards from the ferry terminal and on the front. The communal areas were clean and reception staff helpful.

We arrived on a Sunday and found the hotel restaurant closed. We ate in the restaurant on Monday and it was very good, but slightly expensive. The room had not been made up by 4.15pm on Monday. We had to report this to front desk and it was rectified within a few minutes. The cooked breakfast (included) was good, but served on cold plates.

Hotel is located in the city centre which makes Douglas and surroundings very accessible. Rooms are spacious, clean and equipped with everything you need during the short city break (iron, hairdryer, tea, coffee, water, hot chocolate, shampoo, conditioner etc). Staff is friendly and there is an amazing choice of the breakfast (it is included in the room price), which is freshly prepared by local chefs. All in all I had a very pleasant stay in Admiral and I would recommend to anyone.

The building itself is a little bit loud, probably due to old construction.

Great value hotel,very clean ,good staff,good location and a very good cooked breakfast.......i will be back.

The location was ideal - great sea view, close to shops, restaurants, bus stops, sea terminal, etc. The staff were always very helpful and friendly. Our executive double room was very spacious, with an extra large bed and comfortable seating area. Good cooked breakfasts.

There were no major problems, but a number of minor irritants (E.G., the curtains wouldn't close completely, the shower screen didn't fit properly, the safe door scraped the wardrobe frame, one of the bedside light switches was actually behind the bed, the en-suite door squeaked, the tv was pretty old). Overall though, I was still happy with the room.

Convenient, with friendly staff.

Had to move my car by 10am

Big bathroom and comfy bed, smashing views across the bay.

Tv not working on arrival, so staff changed tv but didnt bring the new remote control for the new tv. Key cards for room failed 11 times in 5 day stay, Both mine and wife's, hotel staff know its a problem with the system, its reported regulatly in other reviews, but just be prepared to have to go back to reception every second time you try to get into your room, (or carry two cards each). Foreign staff just havent a clue about how to make tea! A mug of luke warm water and a teabag on the side is just not acceptable at breakfast.

Excellent location Friendly and helpful staff Excellent food Upgraded room with no extra charge (from twin to family) Very comfortable beds Many rooms with ugly views

No twin rooms or family rooms with a sea view Broken bathroom door handle Some grubby marks on the walls and the carpets Individual pots of tea and coffee at breakfast would be better than sharing a communal flask from the general breakfast table

A clean and comfortable hotel with very friendly and efficient staff. Would definately stay there again.

Staff where really friendly and the rooms were a good design.

room was really cold even with the extra heating.

Superb location and view from a very spacious and well equipped bedroom that represented excellent value for money. The breakfast was of good quality.

Minor disappointments were that we didn't feel the room was as clean as it should be - the carpet had lots of hair on it and felt dirty. It is a shame that the restaurant used for breakfast is in the basement and therefore feels cold and isolated and doesn't exploit the view.

Reception staff seemed excellent and very helpful.

However there was no hot water and nobody attempted to tell visitors this unless one asked.
