Nice hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Good choice of drinks but unfortunately food was a bit underwhelming. Rooms were nice and well kept but the shower base was a bit slippy. Nice selection of complimentary items were provided and supplemented on a daily basis. All in all a very pleasant stay and would not hesitate to re-book there in the future.

I hoped for a local experience rather than a tourist experience and that's what I got. The people were welcoming and the food great. Location wise a short walk to the sea, the castle and the shops.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
O’Kell’s Inns Ltd. should be ashamed—this so-called four-star hotel would not pass one star! Our room was dirty, our shower and vents were mouldy, and badly maintained. Curtains hung unattached, the window casing was broken and had spikes along the sill. Housekeeping is unreliable or absent. Everything is tired and stained. The Management ignores guests and, when challenged, resorts to hostility. The dining room is filthy: sticky tables, broken chairs, and an expired fire certificate is on display (dated 2019). This is a health and safety risk, not a four-star hotel. As a seasoned traveller, I can say plainly: AVOID this place. It is unfit for its rating, and, with the exception of a lovely member of staff named Lucy and her colleague (I don’t know her name) this should be an embarrassment to the Isle of Man’s Tourist Board.

Unexpected guests accommodated.

Booking made via hotels.Com however the reservation did not make it through to the hotel booking system so they were not expecting anyone and the rooms were actually closed! However the super staff made a room up and we’re able to host my visitor.

Disappointing

Parking tricky. Took a while for staff to check me in. Room had a really unpleasant smell. Disappointed to see Nescafé on the hospitality tray- this really is ghastly coffee. Dance music playing in bar downstairs till 11pm so couldn’t get to sleep. Food was average- frozen vegetables and frozen chips.

The staff were excellent always helpful and willing to help too, food was well above the standard of other Hotels, and the rooms were well kept and cosy. We were so impressed with the Hotel we've booked to stay again in September.. the only negative was that there was no lift, which made things slightly difficult for us but manageable Thank you to everyone who made our stay so pleasant .

Trip to Castletown

The George was clean, the bed was very comfy and the staff were friendly and extremely helpful. I would describe it as a pub with rooms rather than a hotel.
