Edelweiss Guest House

A wonderful place to stay! Shirley went above and beyond to accommodate me on my stay on the Island. Clean, comfortable, quiet & welcoming with a great view of the Douglas Bay. My first visit to the Isle Of Man was made complete on discovering this gem of a guesthouse. Wonderful breakfasts too! If I could give six stars, I wouldn't hesitate. Thank you again for making my stay perfect.

A last minute first-time trip to IOM required an overnight stay and using a google search i found a room at this guest house for under $100. I love all things vintage so I was hopeful it would work out and decided to take a chance and booked it. Upon arrival I rang the doorbell of the locked front door (a sign was posted indicating it was a ‘private hotel’) and was greeted by a friendly staff member who checked me in and oriented me to the very tidy and quiet Victorian guest house. I had no trouble finding parking on the major front street, Queens Promenade, a block out the front door. I used the adorable one-person elevator and found my room on the top floor. To my great relief the room was clean and fresh and felt cozy and homey, like it was waiting just for me. Later in the evening I conveniently walked around the corner to get dinner, enjoyed a guitarist through a hotel window who was performing live in the lobby. I had a warm shower, a cup of tea and a very comfortable night’s sleep. In the morning as I left my key in the drop box the sky was beautiful above the bay right out front and I felt ready to take on the day!

The room had everything I needed. Especially welcome was the pack of gluten free biscuits in the tea tray. Every other hotel I've been in caters for gf diet in the restaurant but puts ordinary biscuits in the room. Edelweiss was extra special. Staff we met were very friendly and chatty. Nothing was too much trouble. Very accommodating when it came to bringing back take-away meals.

Nice room with a very comfy bed. The place itself is in a convenient location just off the sea front and is just a short walk away from plenty of pubs and restaurants. It also has a bus stop out the front making it easy to get around. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Will look to stay again when next in Douglas

Nice old school hotel. It's a short walk to the Electric Railway, the Steam Railway, port and all the facilities in town plus it's close to a request stop for the horse-drawn tram. I was sceptical of the "sea view" claim because the hotel is on a side street off the promenade but I did indeed have a good view from my first floor room. On the subject of views the bathroom also had a very good view and no frosted glass window so could be seen into from the street. Thankfully I realised and pulled the blind down just in time on first use... The staff were polite and very helpful. We chose not to have the breakfast service purely because we were out and about a lot but did have the packed breakfast and that set us up nicely on the return ferry without having to join the onboard queues. I'd stay there again.
