IOM Great, Steam Packet Unreliable.
Pros:

Great position on the seafront, super comfortable beds. Staff really helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We will definately return.

Cons:

The only downside was nothing to do with the hotel, it was the unreliability of the steam packet company. We lost a whole day going out and were late on the return. Exhausting.

Pros:

Everything was exceptional. Breakfast excellent, homemade waffles to die for.
Beds very comfy. decor lovely.
Staff very friendly.
One minor fault. The table which the fridge sits on could do with cleaning at the base of it.

Convenient & comfortable however somethings a let down.
Pros:

The hotel was decorated to a high standard and the staff where very pleasant. Breakfast was exceptional. Located near the town centre. Attention to detail on somethings was a nice touch, complimentary crisps, waters, juices, chocolate, tea and coffee. Flowers on the toilet roll ends.

Cons:

Our room was on the fourth floor and when our windows where opened (due to the hot weather) we got the smell of cooked food through our room. Worried of our clothes being smelly. Also there was patio doors in the bedroom which backed above the kitchen area too, they didn't lock correctly, (mislined) when we returned to our room on the last night on entering our room one door was wide opened and we don't know how long for. It's aswell it wasn't raining or it was easy access for an unwanted guest! The water pressure wasn't strong in the wash hand basin or shower. Noticed cob webs on the ceiling above the bed. It was noisey with neighbours closing doors nearby and sometimes it felt like it was at our door. We had an early ferry on our last morning so missed out on our last breakfast which was a pity as it was what we looked forward to as we toured the island the rest of the time. Feel it was a bit overpriced now when I think of the above flaws.
"Stay like the stars" I think it needs a few areas brought up to meet that standard!

Very friendly hotel in a central location
Pros:

Very friendly and central location

Cons:

Due to age of the hotel the double glazing did not keep out the outside noise. We could also hear next door so walls are pretty thin.

We loved the hotel and staff, if we ever came back to Douglas, this hotel would be our first choice.
Pros:

We liked our room, however we were on floor 4 and as I do not use lifts due to feeling claustrophobic as a 82 year old woman found it quite a challenge managing the stairs all the time. However I was advised I should have let the hotel know as if I had they would have given us a room on the first floor.

Cons:

The bar could have been better stocked. Also there was quite a wait for dinner to be served. However I understood that the chef likes cooking everything from fresh.

First time stay - and won’t be my last!
Pros:

This was a late booking to see my daughter who is working in the IOM, and I was pleasantly surprised by the price of this accommodation including breakfast for the two of us, particularly when compared some chain accommodation availability and pricing.

I arrived early following an overnight ferry and the staff on reception were welcoming and accommodating of me leaving my luggage with them ahead of check in.

The location is great, close to the theatre and Villa Marina. And directly opposite from the promenade.

On check in, I found the room to be spacious, very clean, with a beautiful modern bathroom, and a mini fridge with lots of complimentary drinks and snacks (my daughter loved this!). There was nothing missing that we may have needed - iron, ironing board, plenty of towels, slippers etc.

We both had a great nights sleep and woke to a great breakfast where there was lots of choice and our ordered food was cooked to perfection.

This is a fantastic hotel, where all the staff are working hard to create a personal experience for their guests. There is an amazing guest lounge which I disappointingly didn’t have time to sit and enjoy, however I can imagine with poor weather this would be a welcomed space by guests.

I would whole heartedly recommend this hotel, and both my daughter and I felt that we had an amazing experience staying here.
