The hotel was good but location was not to our liking. There was a lot of noise from outside parties which made the nights a little uncomfortable. If the hotel was elsewhere in Douglas we would stay again!

The only very small thing was that we could hear music from the bar area in our room and we could hear next doors TV but it did not ruin our stay and the music from the bar did go off at 11pm. So its just a minor point

The cooked breakfast, while fairly generous, seemed a bit inconsistent, with some days being much better than others. It is worth mentioning that the hotel's location means you are beyond an easy walk to Douglas town centre., although as we had bought bus tickets for our stay, it was not an issue for us.

Curtains need updating, didn’t cover the full window when closed. Some damp on the shower ceiling that needs sorting. Lock on first room door didn’t work but was really quickly moved into a new room.
Lovely staff, very helpful and welcoming. Very comfy beds, great sea views.

It was in a perfect spot for us. Spotlessly clean. The staff were lovely. Will stay again next year on our annual visit to the IOM to see her family.

“Small Room, Great Staff”

The room wasn't the room we thought we booked based on the pictures. It was really small too. We were going a wedding and it was a bit difficult to get ready, because the room was too small to find a convenient space for opening luggage, there wasn't a large mirror, and there was an ironing board, but NO iron provided. They had an burn iron at the top floor which did the job.
The staff, especially Phil and Maria, were wonderful. The breakfast was great, and most of all I really appreciated the fact that they checked us in early.
