Great place to stay.

This was an old building with beautiful architecture, a modern bathroom and a perfect location. There is no lift and the halls were a bit narrow so getting suitcases around was a little challenging but the staff was great and very helpful.

The hotel is an easy walk from the IOM Steam Packet terminus and close to many of the things I wanted to do whilst in Douglas. It is clean and comfortable although I disagree with the 4 star rating it came with in the description and the room I was given not being the one in the picture when I booked it but it was a pleasant experience overall and the price was right. I would stay there again.

Good location but room was on the 4th floor and there's no elevator. A metal rod was in the middle of the mattress making a clear division between the double bed.

Daniel

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Staff are lovely and the room we stayed in was nice with lovely views of the sea. The advertised gaming room did not exists which was what swang the booking for us. We had issues with keys on our first night causing my partner to be locked out of the building, as did another guest who we had to help gain access. The low score really reflects our experiences bringing a dog. We were presented with an additional charge of £25/day on arrival for the dog which makes it quite a bit more expensive than far better places to stay with your dog in the area. It is difficult to find dog friendly places to eat nearby of an evening so we popped next door (gone 30 mins, left 8:15pm) to grab some food and left him in the room. We received frantic calls from the staff and owner (4 calls, 2 voicemails and 2 texts in the space of 10 mins) because the dog had been barking whilst we were out (our bad, he doesnt usually but may have in unfamiliar surrondings on a noisy street). Later that evening we found another guest outside smoking when we went out to walk the dog. I initially thought she was locked out so asked if she was ok. She ignored me, staring at the door, seemingly quite drunk, then she became quite rude accusing us of abandoning our dog and leaving him for hours... it quickly became clear she had lied to the staff, exagerating the time the dog had been left for. We decided to cut our losses (non refundable) and go elsewhere after 2/4 days. Life's too short.
