opposite the beach

Pros: The location is excellent, opposite the beach, near the ferries, near the theatre, restaurants nearby, etc. Breakfast was great, but could do with more non-cooked options.

A good base for our day trip activities over 5 days on the Isle of Man. Very comfortable stay in the bigger room. Might

Pros: Location fantastic on the Promenade. Breakfast was very good and the meal we had in the restaurant was excellent. We paid extra for a room facing onto the Promenade and a view out in to bay. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons: The room we were put in was very small and a bit claustrophobic. Asked for a change and we paid a bit extra for the better room. We were glad it was available.

Perfect location, amazing sea view rooms great staff

Pros: Excellent location and couldn’t have picked a better room, the view was stunning. All the staff where brilliant especially the gentleman on reception and the head house keeper

Cons: We had the carvery evening meal which we wouldn’t do again. It was cooked perfectly but was the standard you would expect for coach parties but not worth what we paid as none coach party guests. Breakfast however was beautiful

Brian 8/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Great location. Close to the ferry port for walking and catching a bus from the airport stops right outside. Breakfast was plentiful and good selection of drinks if you fancy a nightcap

Cons: It does need modernisation but wasn’t put off by that

Charlotte 10/10

Enjoyable stay in a friendly, comfortable hotel.

Pros: Room was compact but had everything we needed. Bathroom was fabulous with plenty of hot water. Breakfast was buffet style with plenty to choose from. Hotel was located on the seafront within easy walking distance of the ferry, bus services, shops, pubs and restaurants.

Cons: Nothing comes to mind.

Fantastic size and comfortable family room for good price

Pros: Family room was huge, a really big bed with two twin beds. The beds were very comfortable, so much so I wanted to know the brand of the mattress and bedding! It was set at the back of the hotel which was ideal with young kids on a Saturday night as it wasn't too noisy from nightlife.

Cons: The only blip was that there was no toilet brush. I think we were next to the boiler as the cold water tap was warm rather than cold but we didn't mind.

Victoria 10/10

A perfectly located hotel with exceptional service, thoughtful amenities, and convenient transport links that made our s

Pros: This place was perfect for everything. The location is ideal, and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. We arrived early and were able to leave our bags until the rooms were ready—and they even managed to get our rooms prepared ahead of schedule. The bus stop is directly outside, which makes it incredibly convenient to travel in either direction. The rooms were exceptional, and all the thoughtful touches were much appreciated—especially the soap and shower gel in the bathroom, which was a lifesaver since we only brought hand luggage and couldn’t pack full-sized liquids. The 11am checkout is a great bonus, allowing time to enjoy breakfast and still relax while packing up. This hotel has truly thought of everything when it comes to its guests, and we’ll definitely stay here again if we return.

Cons: From start to finish, everything was spot on—no complaints whatsoever

We struck lucky with this hotel. If we ever come back to the IoM would book here again no doubt.

Pros: Friendly staff across the board. The hotel has a nice welcoming feel to it. The breakfast was top notch, loads of choice and excellent quality food.

Cons: Nothing to be picky about with this hotel. If you're paying £500 a night then you are justified in expecting something out of this world. I've stayed in literally 100s of hotels throughout the UK with work and the Chesterhouse is right on the money.
