Comfortable, clean, great position on the prom - this hotel is a favourite for us. The staff are attentive, our room on second floor was comfortable - bathroom small but adequate with powerful shower. A big plus is the spacious bar area which is great for a group to gather in the evenings.

Been going to the Isle of Man for 36 years, since I was 16. Have stayed in many different B&B's and Hotels but for the past four years stayed in the Empress. It is comfortable and pleasant and well located on the Promenade in Douglas. This is probably the best value for money option, the bar and conservatory overlooking Douglas... More

Have stayed here a number of times and have always been pleased with the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms. Parking can be a problem at times as there is no off road parking but this is the same for most of the hotels on the promenade. I have always found the staff very friendly and most helpful. I am...

It is what it is, looks a little tired and stuck in the 1990's, the dining room has the look of Butlins in the 1950's about it. But the Staff were mostly friendly and helpful, though some of the Bar staff could do with being trained in how to serve people, Rude and sullen seemed to be the order of... More

This hotel is on the promenade and has a lovely conservatory restaurant and bar overlooking the sea. The rooms are not luxurious but are clean and have everything that you need. The staff are mostly Eastern European and courteous and helpful. The standard of the food in both the buffet and the main restaurant is very good indeed and as... More

Have stayed in this hotel on business twice recently - both times I had a sea view room, the first time I had a suite. The hotel is well placed on the promenade, and affords great views across the promenade. Close enough to walk to town, but far enough out of the limelight - there's lots of stairs in an... More

Me and my boyfriend and 4 other friends recently went to this hotel for the darts competition nearby.We got a ferry which meant that we would need an early check in at 7.30am, which was agreed on the phone would be fine. When we arrived only 2 of the bedrooms were ready while mine was not. The receptionist was rude... More
