Perfect Stay for Isle of Man TT

We stayed at HQ Bar and Restaurant for one night during the Isle of Man TT and had a fantastic experience. We arrived early and the staff kindly let us drop off our bags in the restaurant and even gave us our room key so we could check in later without any hassle. The hotel is charming and cozy, with an incredibly kind and welcoming team. Everyone we met was polite, helpful, and happy to answer all our questions. The on-site restaurant was excellent — we walked along the beach looking for dinner but ended up coming back and were so glad we did. The food was great, and the bar had a nice, relaxed vibe. Breakfast the next morning was a buffet-style English breakfast served until 9:30, and it was just what we needed. Our room was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. When it was time to leave, the staff helped us arrange a taxi, which made things super easy. Overall, it was a lovely stay and a perfect base for experiencing the TT. Highly recommended!

Fantastic location, the place itself was incredible. The kitchen/living room was huge, very spacious, big windows so lots of light and very well equipped. Private and out of the way. Bedrooms and bathrooms were an excellent size, well equipped, and very clean. Beds very very comfortable. The area was very quiet, convenient (bus stop nearby, trains within walking distance, shop within walking distance although a hill to get there but that didn't bother us at all). The apartment we stayed in was downstairs which was perfect for us as it was quiet and out of the way. The only downside was the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes when we arrived (and couldn't find cups to make tea!) but this was easily resolved by turning on the dishwasher and the rest of the apartment was spotless so can't really complain.

Friendly and good value hotel

Frequent bus service means you can save money staying at this hotel, mid way between the steam and electric railways, but still enjoy everything the island has to offer. As others have said, walls are thin so bring ear plugs. Also bear in mind if you’re bringing suitcases that there are no lifts. Wonderful welcome and friendly staff.
