Look, it’s a guesthouse not the Ritz! Room was small but perfectly functional and newly fitted out. Property itself slightly stuck in a time warp but really well managed and friendly. Excellent breakfast.

Business trip moderating art so location was just right.Walking distance to schools, bus station. House of Keys one way, Manx museum the other. Just round the corner from Rosemount bus stop. Great breakfast and friendly host. Quiet, bed hard but comfortable,room nice temperature. Some oddities like missing door handles but nothing important. Cleaned every day. Enjoyed our stay.

Jacqueline

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The host couldn't have done more for us. The Melrose is convenient for the shops although there was a short uphill walk to get back. The room although compact was clean, the bedding was lovely and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was good, cereal, orange juice, Tea or coffee and a full english and there was also the offer of Manx kippers if you wanted them.. There are a lot of stairs up to the rooms but that is typical of the B&Bs in Douglas. If I have one slight criticism it's that we could have done with a couple of bedside tables to put things like phones, glasses and other things on as we could only leave these things on the shelf by the kettle. We would definitely stay here again.

The room was clean and tidy, as was the bathroom. The room could have done with updating. The main issue was that the wifi did not reach my room, this was disappointing as I needed to work remotely. The breakfast was good, although it would have been nice to have had a menu to choose from.

Pleasant stay in a lovely B&B. Excellent value

The Melrose Guest House is a b&B in Fouglas. It's in a good location within 10 minutes walk from the Promenade and Town Centre Overall the place looks a little tired and dated both inside and out and would benefit from some updating My single room was small but cosy and included a TV, tea making facilities and a wash basin in the room. The toilet and bathroom were shared. Service was good with the hosts Peter and Xin being very friendly, welcoming and helpful. A delicious full cooked breakfast was served each day and they were happy to make changes to suit individual tastes. My stay was excellent value for money at under £150 for three nights. I would consider staying again but would probably book a larger room if I did.

A Diamond in the rough

Ok you need to give this place a chance. At first glance when i saw my room i thought i cant stay here. But i gad one of the older rooms. Tge entire guesthouse is being renovated by the owner Peter. Its a bit rough and ready round the edges but what it lacks in age it nakes up for in service and hospitality. The host Peter is the best guedt house owner i havel stayed with. His knowledge of the island is exfellent. He creates a locely convivial breakfast atmosphere where you end up knowing all the other guests. A full healthy full english breakfast to get you on your way. First time ever i did not gave an ensuite but this was my fault. But i would do it again. The shared bathrooms hace been completely remodelled and are up to date. There are two fantastic bathrooms. It worked perfectly as only a few rooms are use the shared facilities. On arrival and into your own especially if its an older one you nay think "Oh no" However please give this place and its fantastic host a chance.

Heel fijn guesthouse. De eigenaar is vriendelijk en behulpzaam, goed ontbijt! Het is wel een stukje de heuvel op en het guesthouse zelf heeft geen lift. Het ligt vlakbij het centrum en bushaltes. Heerlijke dagen gehad!

Definitely stop here again

The Melrose is similar to other Manx B&B I have used, The property while looking tired and dated is adequate for my type of stay. The Host Peter makes the difference here, very amiable, very helpful, interested in talking to you, serves a cracking full English breakfast, piping hot with great quality ingredients, great coffee too. The room was refreshed every day with tea and coffee etc, plenty too, TV is BBC only tho, bed was really comfy, would I stay again, too right I would, if it works out next year I will book again.
