    sea view room
    delicious manx kippers
    plentiful breakfast choices
    dim lighting
    poor visibility

    having previously stayed in douglas, i found this place to exceed my expectations. the sea view room provided gorgeous views and the sound of the surf was delightful. breakfast choices were plentiful and included the delicious manx kippers, which my friend adored during our stay.

    the lighting in the room was too dim.

    superb breakfast
    relaxing bar
    cramped room

    The stay was wonderful! Every morning featured a superb breakfast, especially the full English and the hotel had a relaxing bar area with live piano music. however, the room felt a bit cramped for the price.

    friendly staff

    This place is a good pick for a short layover in Douglas and great for the money. The staff was incredibly friendly, which made my stay more enjoyable. Avoid the main entrance if stairs are a problem – there’s an easier way through the breakfast room.

    beautiful parks

    convenient access to stunning landmarks and parks for strolls

    Staying for three nights, I loved the hotel's proximity to beautiful parks like Nobles Park, which is only about a 15-minute walk away, and the stunning views along Douglas Bay which were perfect for evening strolls. the friendly staff made my experience even more enjoyable.

    cold room

    good breakfast but cold room issues

    The breakfast selection was amazing with a variety of options to choose from. The kitchen staff displayed excellent service, always being respectful and cheerful. I also enjoyed the stunning sea view from my room, which added a special touch to my stay.

    Unfortunately, the room temperature was uncomfortably cold due to issues with the heater.

    sea view room
    powerful shower
    attentive staff
    understaffed kitchen
    closed bar

    During my recent business stay, I was pleased with the large sea view room that was well equipped, spotlessly clean, and comfortable. The breakfast offered an excellent well-stocked buffet, and the powerful shower was a refreshing start to my day. I also appreciate the attentiveness of the staff, particularly Hannah, Dari, and Taylor, who consistently maintained a great can-do attitude, enhancing my overall experience.

    The bar and kitchen were understaffed on Saturday evening, as they were handling coach parties and an event.
