3 Stars Hotels in Isle Of Man, United Kingdom

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.

Booked 8 days stay in Douglas IOM at HQ Bar & Restaurant in one of their flat/homes ?? I instructed them I would have 2 senior gentlemen and was looking for easy access, a family room was offered sleeping 6 (so I thought), turned out it would only sleep 5 at a push, 1 king size bed, 2 single and sofa bed. But this had no bearing as we were 3. In booking the accommodation directly with HQ Bar I thought this would be on their premises, not so as mentioned before, a family room offered in a converted house. When we arrived we were told to head down a steep incline to our destination flat/room/ hotel?? On entry through a dodgy front door (which became an issue throughout our stay) then on through a corridor into our room, it be came clear how cold the room was when we entered. 1. No heating in spite of the radiator’s thermostat set at 5, towel radiator not on, was told due to the hot weather they had. 2. No fridge, again told hotel “does not” provide fridge. 3. No Bath mat was told would get one. Point 1. Having mentioned I had seniors radiators SHOULD BE ON especially the towel rail, no one wants damp hand or bath towels not to mention guests catching a cold. This was meant to be a family room catering for families, lack of the basic. Point 2. Having mentioned no fridge surely being a “family room” there would / should have been one especially if there were babies / children ie milk, etc, I’m my case it would be used to keep my insulin in. Point 3. No bath mat essential when having a seniors around was told it be will looked into. All three points made clear to the owners. After my issue were raised on more than one occasion things happened. Heating was turned on, towel rail not working the fix it man turned up and heat in towel rail restored. A fridge suddenly appeared which was a borrowed one which lasted 3 days and broke down, a new replacement arrived 2 days later a day before we were to depart. During the times there was no fridge available my insulin was stored on H&Q premises either in the fridge behind the bar or in the fridge in the kitchen, but a few of the staff didn’t know where when I came to retrieve my medication. The bath mat I found stuck behind the towel rail had seen better days and was filthy but we had to use it for safety reasons. House keeping was a quick replacement of towels and beds made up. The toilet was in desperate need of some bleach or something in fact the all of the bathroom needed a daily cleaning and at a stretch a vacuum around. There is so much more I go could on about especially the breakfast on offer but! This establishment has a 4 star rating but we were very very disappointed throughout our it would have been batter given a 1 star rating.

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.

We booked 4 nights bed and breakfast for 2 adults. However, when we went for breakfast on day 1 the restaurant was locked. When we texted the owners we were told they had cancelled breakfasts at the end of September because it was uneconomical. Others also complained as noted in the comment book. We were told no refund was available as the breakfast was ”COMPLIMENTARY”. Also, the shower needs looking at as it could not be adjusted past the level of scorching hot. Not a particular problem with this hotel but in general visitors coming with their own cars should be informed that parking is a problem in Douglas. We were told we could park in the street but this proved impossible and we had to park about 20 minutes away on the promenade and time was limited.

Back again for our yearly stay in the At Caledonia! Stayed for fourteen nights bed and breakfast. Greeted warmly on arrival and felt like we hadn't been away. Got checked in and received the key to our usual room, No 7 (a family sea view). Room was clean and tidy, complete with plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits. Toiletries had also been left out in bathroom for use if required. Bed lien and towels were spotless, as was the table linen at breakfast. Breakfast was delicious! A selection of cereals, yoghurts, apple/orange juice and condiments are available at a self-service station to the rear of the dining room. The cooked breakfast was a good size and could be customized to suit individual needs. The standard Full English comprised of: two sausages, piece of bacon, fried egg, beans, hash brown and half a cooked tomato. Scrambled, boiled and poached eggs also available. Staff as always helpful and friendly. Always willing to help where needed and accommodate guests needs. At Caledonia is dog friendly and our dog had the best stay! Dogs are not allowed in dining room but not an issue. The location of the hotel is perfect! Just a short 10-15 minutes walk from the Manx Electric Railway terminus and just 2 minutes from a bus and horse tram stop. Close to local pubs and eatery's including 'The Queens Pub' and 'Majestic Chinese Restaurant'.

This was a fantastic hotel. We were travelling as a group on a coach trip, myself and my mother so had a twin room. The room was right at the back, but we had 4 windows and a side view of the hill, very quiet and lovely. Upon arrival from the ferry we were ushered into the dining room for our first meal. Well it was beautiful. In fact every 3 course meal we had was fabulous. The food prepared looked appealing and tasted great. Such a choice to be selected in the morning for that evening. I should not have read the reviews and just gone on the experience itself. Yes its and old Edwardian building, and maintenance I would imagine is expensive. The beds were very comfortable and a good nights sleep was had. The view out to the bay from the lounge was lovely watching the horse drawn trams trot by. I have to give a shout out to the restaurant team. The waiting staff, we young locals, they were professional, efficient and did an amazing job, you always get some grumpy grouches and they dealt with them really well and whatever their future chosen career is working here will stand them in good stead. Many thanks Team Hydro.
