Room was very clean and spacious. Breakfast was cooked to order and quite adequate. Bar was well stocked, Head Barman specialises in mocktails. Staff very helpful.
Very friendly and helpful owners.
Room comfortable,ensuite fine.Nice and warm.
Breakfast buffet was fantastic,great quality bacon and sausages.
Just off the main boulevard,15-20 mins walk to town centre
It was very good value. The food was excellent and reasonably priced.
The staff were friendly and wasn't "in your face"
I thought the bedroom was good for its' size. The shower pressure was powerful and the room was warm. I didn't use the body/hair gel as I normally bring my own.
HQ Bar is a very lovely reasonable priced stay
Well located just off the promenade with a clean and comfortable room. Breakfast was tasty and filling and the onsite bar had good options on tap and nice indoor and outdoor seating. Suited our athletics trip to the island. Many thanks
The breakfast was excellent.
Unfortunately, the central heating was not working and it was a cold night

Easy to park on streets close by to hotel . Useable WiFi . Room was very hot on entry and when I came to use the shower the next day the glass door had come of its hinges .
Very comfortable stay. Clean and spacious room. Well heated and with heated towel rail as well. Everything provided and room freshened daily. Shower cleanliness lost a star as drain had not been cleaned.
Comfortable bed and pillows. Generous hospitality tray. Lovely staff. Helpful and hard working.
Breakfast was 5 star. Vety generous and really well cooked. Amazing extensive choices. Wonderful.
Extremely good hotel for the price range.
Best place I’ve stayed on the Isle of Mann. Room was well maintained, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was 1st class, good quality and very welcoming. Staff were excellent from check in, to the bar staff and breakfast staff all couldn’t do enough for you. We shall be booking for next years visit.
I went for a long weekend, the hotel is in an excellent location just off the seafront. Nice big roo., very comfy bed, fab breakfast and very helpful staff
