    Adjoining room walls were thin so occasionally could hear the other guests whether they were talking or had the tv on, but this didn’t put us off. We had evening meal once which we thought was over priced for what you got. Mains were just that and you had to buy sides eg vegetables. The food was wonderful and very tasty. If your staying at the hotel then you should have paid a lower amount for the food and normal prices if you just came in. We couldn’t work out the thermostat in the room and radiators were always on but thankfully there was a fan in the room and the windows would open.

    The rooms were immaculate. Far better than we expected. Incredible attention to detail, comfy and cosy. The staff were very welcoming and decorated our room for my husbands birthday. The bed was so comfy. Great central location in Douglas.

    Nothing really. Loved it. If they had a Spa or little gym, it would be even better.

    Staff were very welcoming and I had an amazing big room with sea-view. Great view and very comfortable.

    There was some minor noise which I think was coming from the lift that was next to my room. It did not continue after about 10pm.

    Ideal location on the promenade near to bus stops and the shopping centre. Very good attached restaurant which serves an excellent included breakfast. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious.

    A bit spenny and diet coke £2.50 at the bar. Thought was told could get free fridge refills throughout the day so not sure if miss heard when checked in. Really minor miss understanding though, the hotel is genuinely lovely and the staff were brill. Nice breakfast and coffee too.

    What a lovely place and view. Great staff, would recommend.

    The mood lighting was broken in the room. I would have preferred to have been informed prior to arrival and ordered the house champagne on the first night with our meal at the hotel but served cava, which isn't even on the menu. Charged the price of champagne! £36 The night prior to leaving when we went to settle our bill, we were offered (a shop bought) complimentry bottle of prosecco but it was 10pm, too late for us to drink so I had to ask to pay for price of the cava and not champagne told we don't serve cava! We paid the price of a bottle of prosecco £24 I felt the bottle should have been complimentary for the mix up. (The cava tasted very different to champagne) We stayed in a superior room 4th floor overlooking the sea. Great size. Very comfy beds and pillows. Loved the complimentary mini fridge of goodies each day. Breakfast was soooo filling really set you up for the day. Hotel were great and sorted a taxi to and from the airport (fyi £30 ea way)

    Fab location.

    Beautiful property ideally located on the promenade. Room was well maintained and spacious, very comfortable and overlooking the sea. Staff were exceptional and very friendly. Pete was very welcoming and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. He clearly loves his job and is an excellent ambassador for the Halvard Hotel. Rachel, Chloe and Grace also very friendly and efficient.

    My husband and I have stayed here last year and returned once again as it's our Go To hotel in Douglas - it is very well located on the seafront, has exceptional cleanliness standards and although officially rated a 4 star hotel, there are touches which elevate the client experience to another notch upwards such as the inclusion of slippers in your room, super fluffy white towels including Face Cloths/Towels(!) and a generous and complimentary mini bar. However, on this visit we met Peter who is one of the Managers and whose customer service is just amazing. Peter is very professional, patient, friendly, totally focused on making customers happy and feel at home, explaining all the services and offering ideas for places to eat and other activities and was a joy to interact with. What an asset to the hotel he is!

    Parking is tricky but this is the case for every hotel on the front

    Impressed immediately on arrival. Very clean, reception welcoming and tidy. On going to our room we were taken back by the stunning views across the sea front, the room was very spacious and modern. The bed was large and comfy the bathroom was tidy and very well sized with a walk in shower and a large bath. Lots of complimentary drinks and snacks which were replenished daily. Breakfast was served quickly with great portion sizes and was very tasty.

    Floors a little uneven in the bedroom which made it a little problematic for me personally as I suffer from vertigo. Didn’t like the coloured lights in the bedroom though I’m sure lots will. Would have liked some natural yoghurt and more fresh fruit at breakfast.

    Fabulous location. Spotlessly clean, welcoming and helpful staff. Very accommodating

    The hotel is very close to a kebab shop and people were outside making noise until 4am in the morning. It's not the hotel's fault, but a heads up that that can be an occurrence would be helpful.

    Amazing free minibar and excellent breakfast. Check in staff very friendly.

    A bar perhaps. Didn’t see that drinks were available other than wine in the restaurant!

    Breakfast was a great choice, cheese, breads, fruits, cooked breakfasts. Gluten & vegetarian diets catered for! Juices, healthy shots. We enjoyed it

    The WiFi in my room was okay for what I needed but it did lag at times and signal wasn't ideal in certain parts of the room. but that's being really picky to be honest.

    Staff were really helpful and friendly, anything needed was well catered for. We were told the minibar was all complimentary for our stay with some cold drinks, water and some snacks which was a welcome treat after a days work. Breakfast was great too with some nice choices for a warm breakfast.

    Located close to a noisy pub & kebab shop which stays open until the early hours, not the Hotels fault & they have done their best with extra glazing to try & filter out the noise
