We stayed six nights at Melrose Guest House in mid-August and found it very clean, with a comfortable bed, generous cooked breakfasts plus cereal and good strong coffee. Our host Peter was extremely helpful with food & Wifi requests and with our questions about the island and its places of interest. We booked only a week or two in advance so didn't get a sea view but the shower more than made up for this. It proved to be an excellent good base to explore Douglas and the island: 5 mins walk from the Manx Museum, 10 mins to the bus station, and 15-20 mins walk from the ferry terminal.

Great breakfast and sound sleep

Stayed three nights at the Melrose.
Friendly and accommodating owner who gave us helpful tips on places to visit.
Comfortable room. Freshly cooked breakfast. Good WI-FI.
Convenient location. 
Very good VFM for price paid.

Short Douglas Stay With Friendly Owner

4 night stay durind the southern 100 you pay for what you get dont complain if you want a 5 star spa hotel pay the money peter is a sound host cooks a cracking full english rooms are cleaned dailey yes its an old victorian hotel the same as most in douglas it is what it is see you next year

ideal short stay

I was traveling with my two boys. It was the first time visiting Isle of Man. We had a great room with a small bathroom. The room was very tidy and cleaned daily. The house is close to all shops and not far from the beach and is within walking distance of the main bus stops and railway station to Port Erin.
The Breakfast was great.
Peter (The owner) helped us with our luggage on arrival and suggested things to do on rainy days.
Would definitely recommend this place!

Loved it!

We booked a 4 night stay in Douglas during "the lull before the storm" of the TT. On arrival there had obviously been changes to other guests' bookings, so in fact we were able to have a double room en-suite, rather than the twin with shared bathroom that was all there was available at the time of booking, which was a pleasant surprise. The room was adequate (the decor is a a bit dated), the breakfast was good & the owner, Peter, was very helpful catering to our dietary needs. Really for such good value, what more could you expect? We were pleased with the location (yes, Douglas is a very steep town, but just think how many calories you can burn!) We walked to various restaurants for very good evening meals. Parking can be tricky in the streets in Douglas, as it is pretty much all Victorian terraces, but not impossible. I would say Douglas is a town for the able-bodied, as wheelchairs were not in mind when the buildings were created 150yrs ago. All in all we were very happy with our stay & would definitely stay there again.

Good budget accomodation

Positives bed was comfortable and breakfast substantial.
Negatives stale smell of cooking, 3 flights of stairs to my room, inadequate lighting in hallway, mould in shower. B&B was shabby and in need of major refurbishment. We won't go there again.

Our stay at Melrose

Just come back from our 2 nights stay as doing business in the local area and found the location superb - 2 mins to beach and 3 mins to town centre, free parking on the road outside the hotel.

The owner Wendy was very sociable and she updated me on Indian Restaurants as I love eating Indian food.

The hotel was immaculately clean and tidy , the room we had was very spacious and when we ran out of sugar - more was supplied straight away.

We would use this hotel again - I would probably get an ensuite room next time but basically no complaints - a hotel ran the way it should be - well done Wendy and see you next time we are up that way again.

EXCELLENT LOCATION AND WENDY KNOWLEDGABLE ABOUT LOCAL RESTAURANTS

Budget accommodation, needs a good clean & some money spent on it - breakfast was basic & the breakfast room freezing cold.  The owner was pleasant but needs to invest in upgrading the accommodation.  A walk up a steep hill from the seafront

Budget price

A friend and I stayed at the Melrose the final week of June this year. Peter, the proprietor of the guest house, was a gracious host from arrival to departure. He assisted with our luggage, ensured we were supplied with fresh towels, replenished our tea, and provided us with insight into the island's history and its various attractions.

Our room was relatively small yet certainly adequate for our needs since we were outside for the majority of our stay. The room would be cleaned and the beds would be made, to my recollection, every day. Included as part of the room were a television with basic stations and a kettle which we made use of for evening tea (tea and coffee provided in the room). We did not have an en suite in our room, however, there was a shower located on the floor above us and another one two floors below.

A full breakfast with tea, coffee and juice would be served each morning between 8am and 9am. As we were doing a fair bit of hiking throughout our trip, these hearty breakfasts were certainly welcomed.

The Melrose is well located. A short walk will get you to the shopping district (Strand Street) and the main strip (the promenade). The bus terminal is 10-minutes away by foot which is reasonable. During the first couple days of our stay, we rented a car and were able to find adequate parking by the guest house. Parking is free, however, before 6pm and after 8am you must use a parking disc to secure your space.

The only gripe I have about the Melrose is the WiFi. In our room, which was on the penultimate floor, the signal was quite poor and it would be difficult to pick up a connection. On the main floor, however, the connection was strong and stable.
