We loved staying here and the room we had was fantastic. Outside our window was a beautiful castle to view. We had a balcony facing the main street and it was great for people watching. The place is old so understand that not everything is shiny and new so be realistic and enjoy the place for what it is!

7 of us stayed here doing coastal walk. Was also worried by some of the reviews but we all agreed it was fine overall. Yes, the stair carpet desperately needs replacing and gives a dreadful first impression but on the plus side our room (9) was fairly clean, very spacious, quiet, and had the best shower of all the rooms throughout the week. Breakfast was generous and cheerfully served. Great location in the square. Yes, it needs a bit of a spruce up but does not deserve some of the extreme negative reviews.

Room tip: Room 9 spacious and quiet

We booked this in a hurry without doing our normal trip advisor checks. A couple of days before, my wife read the reviews and panicked. Upon arrival to IOM we swung by to take a look and check the room, as we were fully prepared to book elsewhere and lose the money we had paid for two nights, based on some of the recent reviews.

The staff were accommodating of us checking the room, and apologetic about the state of the much mentioned stair carpet. They are very embarrassed by it, and have asked of the brewery / owners to replace it. The line from their management is that they want to refurb everywhere in the next year, so won't pay for the carpet before that.

The kitchen is on first floor, and during lunchtime the hallway is filled with the smells of pub food. This didn't continue into our room (Room 5), and the smell didn't return in the evening. We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the room, and so we stayed as planned.

Yes, it is tired, including the decor, the bedding, the TV, the twin beds pushed together, and other soft furnishings. The en-suite was large, the shower spacious, hot, and good pressure, and everything was clean. Compared to the look of the other hotels on the island, it looks on a par, everything on IOM is looking a little tired out of season.

Despite being above a pub, we didn't hear any noise from downstairs (and when we did go out on a Friday night, walking through the busy pub in full swing, we were surprised that we hadn't heard anything whilst getting ready to go out). The bus back from Douglas did cause some noise in the early hours, but out of the pubs control.

The hotel are hoping to have the refurb done in time for the TT 2014 by all accounts.

Stayed one night on business.
I think they thought it a bit odd that I booked a double room for single occupancy but experience says that if you book a single room you might get a broom cupboard in some small hotels.
The room and bathroom were ok if a bit "creaky". Well it is an older place so to be expected.
Mostly cleanish once you get your first view of the stair carpet out of your mind!
There is just no excuse for the state of the stair carpet which is by a very long way the worst I have EVER seen. How much is a new one???? How much dirt and grease can you work into a carpet? These guys are the champions.
The bar food was pub food but no more.
Surely there must be better places to stay......

Dingy, no atmosphere, bar staff can't even raise a smile, Sunday lunch a disgrace. Our party had two sprouts each accompanied by two small roast potatoes and the most dire dessert ever. Shocking and as a previous publican and restauranteur I would be ashamed to have my name over the door!
