“The Chesterhouse has a superb position overlooking Douglas Bay, and it's just a short walk to the ferry terminal and local shops. I noted the live music and the traditional cuisine in the restaurant, with Argentinian saxophone on Fridays; the hotel seems to be a good value for business and leisure travelers alike. It's a solid choice.”

Wonderful Stay!

helpful staffsecure storagegreat breakfastideal location
The staff were very helpful! Our cycles were stored securely inside overnight! our ferry was later in the afternoon! We could leave our luggage with them! The breakfast had a nice variety of food! The dining room and reception area are bright and airy. The hotel's location is great near the main shopping street and port. There is a short bus ride to the electric railway and steam train.
The hotel was a little confusing! It was hard finding the rooms, but I had stayed previously!

the breakfast was okay (i liked the scrambled eggs).
I was a bit disappointed with the room allocation. It faced a brick wall. i expected a slightly better view, especially after seeing photos online. it just felt a little claustrophobic.

Decent Stay with Minor Issues

food selectionhelpful staffattentive staffworn paintworn carpettired exterior
The breakfast had a very good selection of food. I appreciated the spaciousness of the room. The staff was helpful and attentive (I thank them for their service!).
The room I had could use a little updating in paint and carpets. I found that some parts of the hotel needed refurbishment. The exterior also looks a bit tired.

the location was super central for my trip. it was great because i don't drive and shops were close. the staff were really friendly and always smiling. the breakfast had plenty of choices and everything was delicious.
the hotel had forgotten to clean my room. i arrived late, so there wasn't much to be done. the late night receptionist did his best, though. the ventilation was not ideal.
