The hotel is walking distance to the ferry. Classic double rooms are quite small, but nice (upgrade if you can), and they were really well cleaned every day. Staff were really friendly and very helpful (Michelle and Rob especially). Great choice for Breakfast generally. Cooked breakfast choice was really good too, but slow to arrive and bacon not crispy in the slightest! Meals in the evening were okay, great choice each evening but meat not good quality/well cooked. We had requested two rooms next to each other as I was travelling with elderly relative. We had to pay extra £460 for rooms (single supplement with Great Rail Journeys), but despite requesting this when we booked and emailing the hotel several times in advance, this request was ignored (rooms were on same corridor..). We were offered new rooms by the lifts the next day, but declined as who wants a room opposite/next to the lift. Overall hotel was lovely and recommended.

Wow, what can I say! We managed to book the Hotel Halvard last minute after being really disappointed with the state of one of the large neighbouring hotels that we had originally booked for a four night stay. On arriving at Hotel Halvard, we were greeted by a very warm welcome from Lucas, who made us feel so at ease after a rather stressful arrival to the island. As the booking was so last minute we only booked for the one night. As the hotel was so amazing, the following morning, we spoke to Pete on reception, who went above and beyond to arrange another room for us due to the room we were in being fully booked. Pete gave us a fantastic price deal on the room, which included breakfast, and we were really, really lucky that they had availability. The rooms are really out of this world! Such high quality, large, spacious rooms which are immaculately cleaned throughout. Stunning views overlooking the promenade. Complimentary soft drinks and snacks which are restocked daily. It has a fantastic little restaurant that serves a vast range of lovely breakfast items, including continental and cooked breakfasts. The restaurant is also open to the public for delicious evening meals but would highly recommend booking in advance. The hotel is perfectly located along the prom, which is very central to all amenities. We give the hotel a 10/10. It's definitely one of the best on the island, if not the best, but what makes it more special is the staff. Each and every one of them were so friendly and helpful, we felt like we'd known them forever. Nothing was too much trouble and they go out of their way to make sure your stay is the best possible. Definitely give them a call when booking as they offer much better deals than what is available online. Thank you so much Lucas, Pete and all members of staff at Hotel Halvard, we can't wait to return!!

The proprietress came to help me very late, the people were very good, the breakfast was very good

Lovely hotel, ideally placed for the city centre, Villa Marina, Gaiety Theatre, horse drawn tram and the electric railway. We stayed in a 4th floor room overlooking the Broadway with a partial view of the sea and could see the coming & goings in the Ferry Port. It was spacious and had everything we could need. Toiletries, hairdryer, safe, iron & ironing board, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, water and a fridge as well as a charging port and more electric sockets than I have ever come across. The breakfast was a lovely cooked buffet, along with continental, cereals, juice, yoghurts, fruit. We only had 1 evening meal, but it was lovely and the chef changed the rice for potatoes & veg for me. Gorgeous desserts. Staff were all pleasant but we especially liked the housekeeper and exchanged a few words with her every day on our way to or from breakfast. If we were to travel to the IOM again, we would definitely stay at the Mannin.....just hope for better weather :)
