Apartments in Douglas

Repeat visit to this centrally located and very good hotel . Some things to note on this stay . We arrived in Douglas at 8 am and asked the hotel to store our bags prior to an early check in . We requested an 11am check in as it was mentioned on the website but the staff member said 11am check in was never possible but 1pm might be (it was) We’d booked a premier plus room as we were staying five nights and wanted a little extra luxury ! We were allocated our room (506) and were very disappointed as the view was of the wall of a building . A very kind and helpful house keeping staff member showed me the premier plus rooms on the front of the hotel , all of which have a view of the sea (albeit over rooftops and the m and s carpark !) We asked to swap rooms and were luckily able to (to room 507) I’d highly recommend mentioning you’d like a room with a view at check in if one is available ! WiFi was useless as it was through an unsecured network so most websites wouldn’t download anything . We used our mobile data which worked perfectly , strong signal ! Tiny first world problem is that there were no coffee pods for the coffee machine . The coffee machine is one of the perks of paying for a premier plus room but without pods it’s useless ! There were no pods available for the duration of our stay . I think a proactive hotel might go and purchase pods from the m and s (literally a few paces away from the hotel) which is what we did ! All in all a good stay . Too many good places to eat and drink in close walking distance for us to use the hotel bar or restaurant . Recommend this hotel .

It is worth mentioning that the beef burger in this hotel restaurant is exceptionally delicious. The location of the hotel is not bad, there are many places to go to the pier to transfer. There is also the front desk is very warm.

A coach trip party visit for 4 nights. Hotel room choices looking over the bay and harbour or looking over the car park. Rooms are all fairly compact with king sized beds, well presented but starting to show a small amount of wear and tare. Beds are king size so you have to give up a little more room for such a big bed. Bathrooms have been modernised by over the bath showers are awful. Restaurant choices are excellent and a full buffet set up and choice of seating areas. Food was generally very well presented and very tasty. Breakfast was just as good with choice and quality. Bar area has just been modernised fully and again a great public area. Staff were generally all lovely and helpful.

Stayed at hotel for 5 nights this September. We had a 4th floor room overlooking the rooftops and with sea view. Room was immaculate , as was the en suite. Lift a little bit quirky, but got used to it. Breakfasts of a high standard with piping hot main corses including local bacon and sausages. We dined at the hotel every night and the quality of the food was very good with the roast beef dinner on a Sunday night the highlight. Very comfortable bar with a Happy Hour several nights and good selection of local beer, and gins. Staff very welcoming and catered for all needs. Would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel, which justifies more than its 3 Star Grading.

Stayed for 3 nights in July for our wedding anniversary. The room wasn't as big as I had originally thought (the pictures make the rooms look a lot bigger than they are) but it was OK. The quilt cover was a lot smaller than the quilt itself so there was a lump in the middle of the cover. The cover also didn't go to the edge of the bed so we ended up sleeping in the middle of the bed. The rooms are very dark so it's difficult trying to get ready in an evening and the plug sockets are not near the mirrors. Breakfast was buffet style for the first two mornings. OK if you like overcooked eggs, bacon and sausage. Toaster only toasted one side of the bread. Not what one would expect for a supposedly 4* hotel. Breakfast on the final morning was made to order so this was OK. The car park is underground which is a bonus but it is very tight to get in to. No good if you have a larger than average car. Would we stay here again? No.

The pros: the location is perfect for Douglas, the ferry terminal (15 minute walk away, mostly on the flat), and exploring the rest of the Isle of Man. Rooms were lovely, comfy bed, good bathroom size. (Room 18) Excellent selection for breakfast, all freshly cooked. Lots of variety. Staff very pleasant. Easy check in and we were able to leave our cases until the ferry departure on the last day. The cons: there is no lift. We were in room 18 which is at the very top of a five story building. The thighs hated me a few times! As a result, we didn't use the room as much as we normally do for quick freshen ups etc. Breakfast: although it tasted fantastic, as it was freshly cooked there was a wait. We factored in about 45 minutes for breakfast in the morning, and adapted our day accordingly. Despite the cons, it is still worth 5 stars.
