The Hydro Hotel

Very pleasant stay

好，好好好好好好很好好

Stayed six nights following TT week on a Just Go holiday. First impressions were favourable as the hotel has a fabulous location on the sea front, although a good 20minute walk to the town centre. Public transport is however frequent. Our room, #300, had a sea view, and we found it comfortable, although no wardrobe just hanging space. I found the bed comfortable and slept well as a result. Both the bedroom and the bathroom were clean, towels changed daily by friendly and helpful staff. Both the breakfast and evening meal were to a good standard and plentiful. Our thanks to the manager and staff for a very enjoyable stay.

We stayed for four nights, this was organised by Just Go Holidays. They certainly found us a nice place to stay, the hotel is just over the road from the beach. Our room (301) was not the largest but looking out at the sea and the boats coming into the harbour, the room had many advantages. All the staff worked well as a team to ensure we had an enjoyable stay, the food was excellent with a good choice at breakfast and evening time.

Lovely hotel right on the shoreline in Douglas. Entrance not great for people with mobility issues as there are steps and no ramp. Our room was on the 3rd floor and was very comfortableand clean with good wifi connection, tv, kettle and tea/coffee supplies , maid service daily as well. Food was quite nice and sufficient portions- evening meals are served and breakfast is self service. Bar prices quite reasonable. Short ten minute walk into town or a 5 minute walk to a nice pub called the Terminus beside the horse stables. Only negative was the young lady member of staff who was quite abrupt and rude when speaking to guests- she had an attitude of not wanting to be there. Other waiting staff were brilliant.

We had booked to stay at this hotel with Alfa Travel. The first impression was not good as no help was forthcoming with baggage. There are quite a few steps up to the hotel. Check in was swift. I was surprised to be advised that although my room was on the 2nd floor if I pressed the lift button for that floor there would be 8 steps to walk up. Likewise, if I pressed the button for floor 3 I had to walk down 8 steps. Never come across a hotel where the lift stops between floors. Lift was also very small and I would defy anyone to bundle 6 passengers in there as the notice in the lift advised! This hotel is definitely not good for anyone with a mobility problem as the evening entertainment was downstairs too - no lift to it. I was a bit apprehensive about the food from previous reviews on here but we had lovely food. Good choice of cereals, fruit, juices and cooked items on the buffet breakfast. We ordered our dinner choices at breakfast - great idea - the kitchen know exactly what to buy in. There was a 3 course meal every evening with a choice of four things, followed by tea or coffee. More importantly the plates were piping hot - a refreshing change from being served good food on clap cold plates. Apart from the first day, we found the staff extremely helpful. Also, Martin our coach driver was really good and helpful. Thank you everyone.
