A pleasant stay, staff helpful, accommodation clean. The hotel was situated in a good position for transport, shops and eating out.

Great place to stay.

This was an old building with beautiful architecture, a modern bathroom and a perfect location. There is no lift and the halls were a bit narrow so getting suitcases around was a little challenging but the staff was great and very helpful.

The room and public areas were very clean and well decorated. The breakfast was excellent and the staff helpful. The only downside was the sound and smell from the kitchen extractor below our room.

Pittoreskt mysigt hotell.

Mycket trevligt pittoreskt hotell på gångavstånd från färjeläget. Vi hade en bekväm vistelse.
Monika, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location. Great staff. Very good breakfast. Room size is typical of hotels of its era - small but comfortable. There is no lift but staff will readily help to carry luggage up the stairs to your room.
Richard, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location but room was on the 4th floor and there's no elevator. A metal rod was in the middle of the mattress making a clear division between the double bed.
Amy, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Staff are lovely and the room we stayed in was nice with lovely views of the sea. The advertised gaming room did not exists which was what swang the booking for us. We had issues with keys on our first night causing my partner to be locked out of the building, as did another guest who we had to help gain access. The low score really reflects our experiences bringing a dog. We were presented with an additional charge of £25/day on arrival for the dog which makes it quite a bit more expensive than far better places to stay with your dog in the area. It is difficult to find dog friendly places to eat nearby of an evening so we popped next door (gone 30 mins, left 8:15pm) to grab some food and left him in the room. We received frantic calls from the staff and owner (4 calls, 2 voicemails and 2 texts in the space of 10 mins) because the dog had been barking whilst we were out (our bad, he doesnt usually but may have in unfamiliar surrondings on a noisy street). Later that evening we found another guest outside smoking when we went out to walk the dog. I initially thought she was locked out so asked if she was ok. She ignored me, staring at the door, seemingly quite drunk, then she became quite rude accusing us of abandoning our dog and leaving him for hours... it quickly became clear she had lied to the staff, exagerating the time the dog had been left for. We decided to cut our losses (non refundable) and go elsewhere after 2/4 days. Life's too short.

Excellent hotel with lovely facilities. Would highly recommend

We checked in a bit late and were really tired so having noisy other guests was a bit of a problem. Place not very sound proof so having people slam doors woke us up constantly.

Seafront location

Stayed here numerous times. On the seafront in Douglas. Ideally located for shops, restaurants, buses, trams, trains. Comfortable rooms and a good breakfast

Staff good but bedroom no wardrobe. Extractor fan outside bedroom comes on at 6am !! Wouldn’t stay at Ellen Vannin in the future. Six flights of stairs to get to bedroom.
John, 7-night trip

4/10 Fair

It was way too expensive. I know it’s TT but expecting us to pay extra for breakfast, towels, cleaning and coffee pods was frankly insulting Oh, and the thermostat didn’t work. No way to reduce the heat meant sleeping with the windows open
Cindi, 11-night trip

4/10 Fair

Room was tiny and of poor quality, with a very uncomfortable bed. In addition to this I found the staff to be unhelpful. Would not recommend.

Clean and comfortable

The Manager was very helpful and accomodating when my request for a "disabled friendly room" wasn't actioned but I had to pay more for the room that I was changed to. Although, it is an olderstyle hotel, it is clean and comfortable. The staff were efficient enough but not overly friendly
Karen, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nicely appointed room and ambiance.
Iris, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Brilliant for the money

Firstly let me say that is a very well located hotel right on the promanade,with bus services close by and the main shops a couple of hundred metres away. It is of an older design so has steps up to reception and at a guess most of it is not very wheelchair friendly. Hoeever, it offers great value rooms that are pretty decent in size. Ours did not have a sea view, but others did. Our room was pretty well appointed for the money that we paid with tea/coffee making facilities and a reasonable TV. Breakfast Mon-Sat is a hot buffet with some reasonable quality ingredients. On Sunday it appears to be cooked to order. Nothing appeared too much trouble for them. Eg. Making wholemeal bacon sandwiches. The staff all round are excellent. A lady even waited for us to check in after major delays with our evening flight to the Island. The staff are also both friendly and helpful. Very good local knowledge about tourist sites, local eateries and the like. It also has a decent bar at the front of the building where the bar staff make you feel welcome. Brilliant value for money. A perfectly decent staff with welcoming staff in a historic building which has been well modernised
