all reviews » This place was amazing! The room was beautiful and had an awesome view!!!! They even give you chocolates and have a nice sitting room where you can mingle with the other guest. You can see the horse trollies right out front and there is a stop to get on it right there also. Had an amazing breakfast! They also held our luggage after we checked out, since our flight wasn't till late in the day we wanted to explore but didn't know what to do with the luggage. Next time we come we will definitely s. The staff, food, accomadation and situation were excellent. We were on the 2nd floor which boasted a superb view of Douglas bay (stairs would be hard to climb for the elderly and disabled, especially with your lugage). Our room (number 12) was spacious, modern and clean with a wall mounted tv. Some lovely thoughtfull extras were also a bonus. I would definately stay here again if visiting Douglas. Would recommend as this hotel offered true value for money. We liked everything, our hosts Paul and Pauline were charming, helpful and accommodating. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean and modern. The breakfasts were fresh and well cooked.

Great location, nice staff, fast wifi, very good breakfast and we had a view of the see and tower of refuge!. Very friendly owner, went out of his way to make sure our stay was great, excellent value for money stay. Excellent location. Well equipped,clean comfortable room. Helpful,friendly staff and great breakfast . there was absolutely no issues at all. There is a bar/club right next door that plays music till about 11pm. Which that in itself isn't late at all. Its the crowd that hangs out and is real loud after they get kicked out of the bar at midnight. They tend to hang out right under your window till 1-2am talking and yelling. Not really the hotels fault, maybe they can talk to the bar and see if they can get them to not hang out right there once it closes. Not a lot to dislike really. The only points I would make would be that the noise from the passing traffic would possibly wake light sleepers early as rush hour begins, but thats the price you pay for being in the thick of things. The only other thing would be that it had no private parking but we found a space easy enough directly outside and the parking is free between the hours of 6pm and 10am, all other times is also free but limited to 2 hours. Not acciplable. The hotel is a little dated, but the new owners are working toward upgrading the facilities. First floor double bedroom at rear of property faced a wall 4 metres away so felt 'penned' in. OK if you came in late to sleep in but not to spend daylight hours in. Soap dispensers although appeared new were broken. Showers without thermostatic valve had fluctuating temperatures, easy to scald!. On Saturday night till 3am the noise from nearby establishment and the revellers woke me several times . This was no fault of hotel perhaps tripe glazing may help or tell local establshment to ask their customers to leave quietly!!. The hotel was grand. Nothing to dislike. there was nothing that my sister-in-law and I didn't like. Unfortunately we hadn't requested a low floor room and because of my husbands difficulty with stairs, it was problematic for him. Nothing really. the only downside was no lift so if youre elderly or infirm it could be a problem. Rooms are small but space is used very wisely so it isn't too bad for a short trip. Room lacked a table + chair where a laptop can be used from. Lack of parking but the same will apply to almost all hotels along the Loch Promenade. Rooms could do with a tiny safe for storing valuable items. Can't fault them really. The stairs, but in a victorian house/hotel this was inevitable. The staff carried our bags up for us. There was nothing not to like except for getting in through the front door of Gloucester House where we stayed. the door was hard for a woman to push open, so I was reluctant to go out alone. nothing!. Lot of stairs no lifts, however the the owners will help with the bags. At £100 per night I'd expect proper coffee, fresh milk and a selection of teas in the kitchen. The 'just enough' sachets seem stingy. Loud blaring TV and constant clattering of utensils and crockery in the breakfast room was imposing and unpleasant. Quiet gentle music would have been much better. the bed was quite uncomfortable as it was two singles stuck together and you could feel this. There were no issues at all. Purely subjective as my 85-year old mother found all the stairs up to room and down to breakfast hard-going. Nothing else! A lovely family-run hotel. The reception would benefit from de-cluttering. "Ellan Vannin" is a good name. The sign over the entrance does the job but can't help thinking that a more prestigious sign, in keeping with the building's architecture, would be a good investment. Not Applicable. a minor point, but my ensuite bathroom was tiny !!. We agree - nothing to not like!!. Nothing. There is nothing to dislike! This place is fabulous. stairs may be a problem where mobility is an issue, although those fit enough would gladly swap the climb for the view from upstairs. the stairs - we were on the top floor and i felt they might mention this on the website and a room on the upper floors might not be suitable for some with walking difficulties. None. Mountain biker guests , power washing their bikes over arriving guests and other pedestrians . Not too keen on Douglas as a destination Has a slightly run down feel and a poor choice of restaurants. The room was well designed and clean, but the windows hadn't been cleaned for some time. Maybe the view from the back bedrooms but that can't be helped and we weren't on holiday to sit in a room anyway! :-). A protective mattress cover made the bed " crunchy" and too warm. Rather a drag up to 3rd floor. Could really do with a lift. Also parking out on the promenade was difficult at times. The only draw back which was not in any way the hotels fault was on the final day being required to vacate the room before 10 am and waiting around for the evening flight with no secure place to store luggage. can honestly say nothing. Room a little bit small and shower didnt work well but i fixed it. Nothing.
