Edelweiss Guest House

A very pleasant stay with a very warm welcome. Fantastic breakfast.

Nothing

I was arriving to the Isle of Man a little later than the latest check in time, stated in the information section. So I messaged to ask if I could check in later; I received a reply very quickly, to inform me that this wasn't a problem. When I arrived, I was offered a warm greeting by the chap (I didn't note his name) and check in was quick but not rushed. I was directed to my room on the top floor via the lift (avoid this if you don't like small spaces), however, the lift is quirky and in keeping with the building. I got to my room which was a twin room, perfect for myself as I was staying alone for the night. The room was warm and welcoming with albeit, a little dated decor' but I really think this adds to the charm and personality of the building. Who wants sharp edges and a sterile stay anyway? The following morning, I had a really good breakfast, which I had paid for the night before. Since there was only myself and one other guest having breakfast near the end of service, it was a plated service. This suited me just fine as it was all cooked fresh, to order. There was a good selection of fruit, pastries, cheese, cereal and coffee. No complaints at all, and my request of bacon with crispy fat was granted - that never happens! I ate more for breakfast than I usually eat on most days, it was that good. Finally, I checked out and chatted with Justin about his interesting venture of taking over the hotel very recently - and in my opinion, very successfully. What a nice guy and a great service in all areas. Everything was spot on and I felt comfortable for the duration of my stay. The staff are attentive but not over the top, the bed was so comfortable, breakfast was cracking and the customer service - perfectly accomplished. I must say, I was expecting a really basic and budget Guesthouse, given the low price of the room. I was pleasantly surprised in all areas. Thanks again Julian and co. I look forward to staying on my next trip to the Isle of...

Nothing I didn't like.

Excellent hotel,. Stay here regularly and never disappoints

Location and friendliness of staff

Exceptional staff, friendly and helpful. Delicious breakfast. They made me feel very welcomed.

Room smelly and a bit dirty. It seemed that it wasn't cleaned after the previous guest. For the price I expected it would be a bit cleaner.
