Breakfast: Guests praised the breakfast buffet for its wide variety and quality. The breakfast included options like poached eggs, kippers, and cereals, and was served in a scenic room overlooking Douglas Bay. Many found it to be a satisfying start to the day.(based on 1 review)

Stayed in a room overlooking the atrium gardens. This is a unique and beautiful space with a fish pond which my son was mesmerised by. These rooms also have an internal balcony overlooking the atrium which is a lovely feature. The bathroom was shiny new and immaculate. Some parts of the hotel are dated and a bit tired. It’s nice to have a swimming pool but it is very small so if there’s more than about 7 people in it they can’t let you in. Good choice at breakfast buffet of different fruits, pasties and usual cereals and hot items. Service at the desk and breakfast is friendly and welcoming. Guys at the bar didn’t smile, maybe just trying to be cool.

Very outdated hotel. Bedroom was poor extractor fan from restaurant going from 10.00 until 10.00 so we had the noise from that every day. A very outdated hotel that needs refurbishment. No air conditioning, we had to open the windows, which meant we had the noise from the restaurants extractor fan. Everything was old. Sauna had a padlock on it. Worse hotel we have stayed at. It is advised as a luxury hotel.so very disappointed.

Great breakfast and views!
The hotel was busy, but some of the staff were not as friendly as they were in the past. Also the now-paid parking is a nightmare. That parking garage needs to be ripped out and restarted, also consider places to park in front of the hotel. Breakfast and breakfast staff as wonderful as ever!

This is a beautiful building with high ceilings and big rooms. It’s a bit dated, but the location, quality of breakfast and secure working WiFi by far outweigh this. The central atrium is beautiful. Sir Norman’s bar attached is stylish and serves delicious food. The Asian dishes I tried were excellent. I’d definitely stay here again.

The hotel was located to everything you need. Easy 15 minute walk to High Street, walking distance to Manx Electric Railway (North) and Steam Railway (South). Best to get a Go Explore Card, if you have not got a car.
