Negative Reviews
negative:
Breakfast matter unclear.
Because it wasn’t clarified at the time of booking, some guests thought that the breakfast was included in the room tariff, when in fact, it was not, which lead to some inconvenience.
negative:
No lift.
The Ellan Vannin is a tall building and some of the guests, despite knowing there was no lift in the guest house, still felt that it would have been great if there had been one especially for the convenience of elderly guests and people with disabilities.
negative:
Noise from outside.
As this hotel is located right on the seafront, it can occasionally witness drunken revellers carousing into the night. The noise can literally reach inside the hotel. Some guests feel that the hotel owners should consider putting in double-glazed windows
