A group of eight of us stayed for a weekend at The Hydro, and were all more than happy with the rooms, service, facilities and welcome offered. The rooms all varied in size, despite us occupying them with two people to each room. One was a good sized family room (two singles and a good sized double); another a double... More

Recent stay at the Hydro for 5 days found hotel slightly dated but service, food and entertainment good, would stay again. also Peel, Port Erin, Castletown all worth a day out, Some areas such as the Needles and the Laxey Wheel visits tend to be a bit on the pricey side for food but I think its expected for you...

This hotel was ok, but really needed updating. The bedrooms were very old fashioned and the beds quite uncomfortable. We didn't eat in the restaurant although the menu looked fine, the room needed some TLC. The breakfast was good and there was a menu to choose from. The hotel staff were friendly too.

The Hydro Hotel is on the sea front near to the main shopping area, travel by horse tram is novel and easy. The hotel could do with a visit from a window cleaner and decorator. The room was clean with a nice sea view, the food was quite good and the staff were polite and helpful.

Went on a coach trip with Alfa Travel arriving just in time for evening meal at 6 on the first night. Strangely, the lift stops between bedroom floors so there is always a flight of stairs either up or down to get to your room( we opted for the stairs to the 3rd floor). The room and ensuite were tired... More
