"This property is very dated, 60s flat roof etc and looks dreadful from the exterior. Paint peeling, signs losing paint, very unattractive entrance from the main road shared with a continental restaurant. Grubby carpets and decor around the entrance and reception areas. Room good with dated decor but very clean but balconies grubby. Nice carvery and decent breakfast. Basically a worn out buiding but a little effort and decor could make a big difference. "

"Wasn't very well organized around breakfast but everything else was perfect"

"Room was adequate. Small but fine. Staff great and very pleasant. Breakfast. Full english. . Sausages hash brown bacon quality cheap. . Overall breakfast lets hotel down badly. No sea view. Would look elsewhere for accommodation on return "

"Lovely hotel. Good breakfast and lunch options. Great location. Can walk into the town area in around 10 mins or about 20 mins from the port. Bus stop outside. Pay £7 for a hop on/off day rider on buses only to get around the island. Will cost more if you want to add the trams/trains. "

"Great location. Staff very helpful. Breakfast fresh and made to order, so comes hot. Extras to served hot breakfast is cereal, yogurt, cheese, meat, pastries and fresh juice. Toast served ready at the table. "

"Just returned from a lovely stay at the Devonian. The breakfast was amazing. Great choice, cooked to order and delicious. Would definitely recommend and stay again. "

"It was a wonderful experience. Perfect."

"Kings House is the oldest guest house in Douglas and Miriam and Robin have taken on a big project to renovate this beautiful house. They are gradually renovating the house so certain aspects have not been completed but this wouldn't put us off returning. Miriam couldn't have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was really great with good quality coffee made fresh in a cafetiere. The bedroom and bathroom were clean, and the shower good. The room was serviced each day and a plentiful supply of quality teas, coffee and hot chocolate to have in your room with lovely biscuits refreshed each day. We stayed 4 nights to meet up with friends and they were equally pleased with their sea view room. Nice quality towels and a heated towel rail so they were warm and dry each day. Kings House is in a great location and easy access to the electric railway station and horse drawn tram station. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk along the promenade. Don't miss Summerhill Glen very close by. A beautiful wooded walk with bluebells and wild garlic when we visited and some other additional surprises."

"The room is modest in size but immaculate and very comfortable. The staff was terrific, particularly the front desk. Warm and helpful. The restaurant staff are all charming. If I were to quibble, the meals could be a lot better. Still, A for sincerity."
