Hotel terbaik di Castletown

I'd say overall a good hotel. Placed perfectly on the promenade for an early morning walk. Reception is clean and modern and the lounge area a great place to relax. The food, both Breakfast and evening meal were top class. Great, attentive service to boot. The room itself was decent. Two slightly negative observations. Throughout my 2 days there was a damp, musty smell emanating from the bathroom. Windows open during the day dealt with it. On the second day at 5.45 am there was an almighty bang and loud rattling banging which sounded like a boiler or pipes. I was at the back of the hotel which is also a little noisy. I will be back in September and will stay again however I will ask for a front facing room.

Wow, what can I say! We managed to book the Hotel Halvard last minute after being really disappointed with the state of one of the large neighbouring hotels that we had originally booked for a four night stay. On arriving at Hotel Halvard, we were greeted by a very warm welcome from Lucas, who made us feel so at ease after a rather stressful arrival to the island. As the booking was so last minute we only booked for the one night. As the hotel was so amazing, the following morning, we spoke to Pete on reception, who went above and beyond to arrange another room for us due to the room we were in being fully booked. Pete gave us a fantastic price deal on the room, which included breakfast, and we were really, really lucky that they had availability. The rooms are really out of this world! Such high quality, large, spacious rooms which are immaculately cleaned throughout. Stunning views overlooking the promenade. Complimentary soft drinks and snacks which are restocked daily. It has a fantastic little restaurant that serves a vast range of lovely breakfast items, including continental and cooked breakfasts. The restaurant is also open to the public for delicious evening meals but would highly recommend booking in advance. The hotel is perfectly located along the prom, which is very central to all amenities. We give the hotel a 10/10. It's definitely one of the best on the island, if not the best, but what makes it more special is the staff. Each and every one of them were so friendly and helpful, we felt like we'd known them forever. Nothing was too much trouble and they go out of their way to make sure your stay is the best possible. Definitely give them a call when booking as they offer much better deals than what is available online. Thank you so much Lucas, Pete and all members of staff at Hotel Halvard, we can't wait to return!!

The pros: the location is perfect for Douglas, the ferry terminal (15 minute walk away, mostly on the flat), and exploring the rest of the Isle of Man. Rooms were lovely, comfy bed, good bathroom size. (Room 18) Excellent selection for breakfast, all freshly cooked. Lots of variety. Staff very pleasant. Easy check in and we were able to leave our cases until the ferry departure on the last day. The cons: there is no lift. We were in room 18 which is at the very top of a five story building. The thighs hated me a few times! As a result, we didn't use the room as much as we normally do for quick freshen ups etc. Breakfast: although it tasted fantastic, as it was freshly cooked there was a wait. We factored in about 45 minutes for breakfast in the morning, and adapted our day accordingly. Despite the cons, it is still worth 5 stars.

Stayed for 3 nights in July for our wedding anniversary. The room wasn't as big as I had originally thought (the pictures make the rooms look a lot bigger than they are) but it was OK. The quilt cover was a lot smaller than the quilt itself so there was a lump in the middle of the cover. The cover also didn't go to the edge of the bed so we ended up sleeping in the middle of the bed. The rooms are very dark so it's difficult trying to get ready in an evening and the plug sockets are not near the mirrors. Breakfast was buffet style for the first two mornings. OK if you like overcooked eggs, bacon and sausage. Toaster only toasted one side of the bread. Not what one would expect for a supposedly 4* hotel. Breakfast on the final morning was made to order so this was OK. The car park is underground which is a bonus but it is very tight to get in to. No good if you have a larger than average car. Would we stay here again? No.
