The Hydro Hotel  

From the minute we arrived we were treated brilliantly. The staff and service they give is first class.the food was excellent too.

I have stayed at the Hydro about 4/5 times now. I find the staff very friendly, the rooms are comfortable and the prices reasonable. I will definately be staying there again.

As above plus good location.

Staff are friendly,breakfast very nice,and rooms are fine,love the newly furbished bathroom. Easy walking distance to shops,and a very nice walk along sea front

Staff were good, allowed us an early check in from ferry.

Lounge area very cold and were we're not told about building work on booking or checking in however the noise was at respectable times.

the manager was very helpful in directing us to local restaurants etc as his menu didnt work for all of us

the only problem was that we could only get a continental type breakfast as we were leaving the hotel at 7 45 am to catch the early morning ferry. the hotel normally starts cooked breakfasts at 8 00am

Very Clean, Price Very Good, Staff Very Helpful, Food 1st Class

Every staff member we met was endlessly helpful, friendly and obliging. We were lucky enough to have a room with a wonderful view over the bay - a twin room which was kind of split by a wall down the middle (double bed, tv, kettle on the one side, two singles and a little table and chairs on the other - both sides had a duchess with mirror and chair as well) - there were only 2 of us but it would've been great for a family or larger group of friends. Amazing pressure on the shower - loved it! Location was good, down the far end of the promenade but right by the electric railway (not open when we were there though), horse trams (again, not open in winter) and buses (great bus network on iom, multi- day passes well worth the price). There was a wee lounge area beside our room with desks and chairs, sea view and shelf full of books - I love this sort of thing in a hotel, you don't often see it outside of backpackers. The cooked breakfast was good and we had dinner in the bar one night which was delicious. Overall very very happy with our stay.

Only very vague things I didn't like, barely worth mentioning as we were overall very happy with the stay. My bed was a little uncomfortable for me, but I'm quite particular that way. The room wasn't absolutely pristinely clean, but not really worse than most people's houses if we're honest - the shower head was a bit scuzzy though. Walls slightly thin, parts of the decor a touch dated, windows not double-glazed and a bit fogged up in the morning (it was cold outside!) but nothing at all to deter from the overall experience.

All the staff were so friendly and helpful, especially the night porter who was so cheerfulin the early hours!

Good value, clean & tidy with friendly staff. Meals could have been better

Newly refurbished bathroom very good. Comfortable bed. Friendly welcome. Good location.

Carpets badly need replacing, and simple decorating required. East European staff serving breakfast should smile.

having stayed previously suited my requirements

breakfast service not up to standards

The Staff were on hand and always willing to help

read the reviews before we travelled and they were fairly accurate , the room was bigger than most weve stayed in, the bathroom was smallish but clean.the friendliness of all the staff was 1st class and really helpful, we were there for the darts weekend and we will be returning next year for certain. thanks for a lovely weekend
