Glenfaba Guest House 5 Empress Drive, Douglas, IM2 4LQ, United Kingdom

Very good value for money, in a central location.

Providing you use public transport, and are prepared to walk for some minutes, it is in a very good location: near the prom, but far enough back to not get the high winds or traffic noise. Also roughly half way between Douglas railway station (for the south) and bus station and Douglas's tram station (for the north). Very good breakfast. Lovely slightly wider than normal and well upholstered single beds. Supply of tea/coffee making material in the room, which was topped up each day.

Our room's shower was difficult to adjust. Specifically, once turned on, it was very hard to turn down the heat (but one could still turn it up).

I enjoyed my stay in Douglas on the Isle Of Man but the accommadation could have been better,

The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. Great breakfast with really good dining room service.

I had a single room which was a little cramped. The shower and toilet facilities were also cramped. For the money I paid I thought the room was substandard. I have stayed at much better accommodation in better situations at a less expensive price.

One of our best close to home holidays Would go again if opportunity arose!!

Very good breakfast as much as you want. The room and en suite were in excellent order as were the beds! The condition, quality and cleanliness is a credit to Steve and Maria and to their friendly and efficient staff!! Who were all very helpful and obliging.

Parking facilities! But never more than a two minute walk away!!

A beautiful period property.

We could see the sea from our room. Breakfasts were really good. The Manx breakfast was too big but the small breakfast was enough to keep us going all day. Close to the start of the horse train on Douglas front.

The small size of the shower cubicle made it very difficult to turn around..

First visit to Isle of Man

Steve and Maria were very welcoming and helpful with tips on where to go for meals and beer! The staff were very attentive and helpful despite language barrier. Not everyone understands a Brummie accent. Breakfast and service was excellent.

Honestly cannot think of anything negative.

We really enjoyed our time and were made very welcome.

Lovely and clean. Friendly hosts who were always happy to help. Rooms serviced every day. An extra night was not a problem when our ferry home was cancelled.

Possibly a little more choice of breakfast items could be available (but what was on offer was still very good).

A comfortable stay half way along main promenade

Room clean and comfortable. Tasty well cooked breakfast. A good 10 -15 minutes walk from ferry terminal but bus stops 2 minutes walk from property. .

Not a dislike but be aware rooms are on 4 floors and no lift. I was on top floor and it's quite a climb!

Great value for money, near to promenade, property clean and friendly staff.

Lovely breakfast, pleasant, friendly staff. Location excellent near to promenade. Room nicely decorated and very clean.

Mattress was a little uncomfortable, maybe a mattress topper would sort this.
