    The location is superb. The food was excellent and the staff were nice and courteous.

    This property is tired. No heating in the restaurant, the heating in the hotel room was terrible. The whole time I was there I had to wear my coat. The room is well overdue an upgrade.

    8RichardPosted on: 2-19-2026

    Excellent location, super friendly/helpful staff.

    Mattress was a little soft compared to home.Cooked breakfast was excellent, but could have been hotter. I appreciate that keeping 'buffet' items piping hot us not easy.

    5JuliePosted on: 2-16-2026

    Fabulous location close to Town and accross from the sea. Staff on reception was super helpful .

    The hotel rooms are tired and in need of updating. The furniture is the same as it was 20 years ago and it’s showing age. The bed was uncomfortable with bad springs. The shower valves were really stiff and difficult to turn on and off . The sink was cracked and crazed. Housekeeping every third day not daily .

    My room was refurbished and the bathroom and sofa were great.

    8AngelaPosted on: 2-10-2026

    Staff were fabulous..both at reception and dining.Room large and warm, lovely bathroom.

    Pool area had cracked tiles along it... changing area smelt awful and was extremely cold.

    10JennettePosted on: 2-10-2026

    10EdwardPosted on: 1-29-2026

    Everything the staff where excellent the room was superb and the breakfast was excellent overall are stay was fantastic

    I didn't like what they have done to Norman's bar

    8DavePosted on: 1-27-2026

    Nice large room with plenty of space and good breakfast. Ideal location for our requirements.

    Off season some facilities were not as available as may have been ideal but probably understandable.

    7JuliaPosted on: 1-27-2026

    Staff were excellent, friendly and very accommodating. They kindly ensured we were allocated to a wheelchair accessible room.Room was big and clean, and very comfortable beds with enough pillows. Very close to Douglas city centre - so convenient.

    The hotel itself is quite outdated, and the lift is quite small. One of the lifts were a struggle to get out of with a (portable) powerchair due to the floor being a bit uneven. Also too many heavy doors to open - impossible to get through without help when in a wheelchair. Understand it has the charm of an old building, but some small parts could really use with a revamp!

    7CarolPosted on: 1-24-2026

    Location and friendly, helpful staff. Comfy bed.

    The hotel is tired. Carpet was threadbare in places.

    8PaulPosted on: 1-22-2026

    The location is great, free parking a bonus considering the sea front location. Like many big old seaside hotels some of the communal areas have lost their sparkle, but the staff are exceptionally helpful and everywhere is clean and tidy.If you are training to swim the channel then the pool is not really going to be for you, but if you fancy a bit of a splash about it is good enough and a nice way to spend half an hour or so.
