The George Hotel

Stayed for a couple of nights - we had a large room on the 1st floor facing the castle and the square. Unfortunately we had no prior warning that the whole of the front of the building is covered with scaffolding so no nice view. The room itself was spacious, large comfortable bed, decent toiletries and tea/coffee making facilities. There was a strange musty smell whenever you walked in the room and also very noticeable in the wardrobe. As the sash windows are old and need desperately changing I suspect damp may be the issue. The bar downstairs is nice and friendly. The breakfast was very good. Staff were great. We expected a bit of noise with staying at a pub, but on one night there was really loud music from a nearby bar until 00.15am with drunken singing customers followed by said customers noisily walking away in the square afterwards. Even new double glazed windows wouldn’t solve that level of noise. A room away from the front of the building would probably be quieter. To be honest our stay was fine with many plus points but we thought it an expensive stay for what it was, and probably won’t stay here again the next time we come over to visit family

Have stayed at The George many times & once again it was excellent. Was assigned a very large room with an enormous bed. Warm welcome, friendliness, helpfulness of all staff was second to none. Natalie & her team are to be highly commended for their exceptional customer service. I fully recommend The George. Thank you for a splendid stay

The George is a really lovely hotel. We were welcomed immediately by very friendly staff in a lively bright and cozy pub. The room was big with high ceilings and decorated very nicely. It was very clean and we had a nice water view. Lovely comfy bed. We lacked for nothing! Didnt want to leave tbh. And the breakfasts were amazing. Oh and the dinners! That Durban lamb bunny chow was unbelievable! Highly recommend this gem!

Stayed here for a work trip as wanted to be close to the airport. Castletown is a lovely scenic town and The George is a great place to stay. Staff are really friendly, the view of the castle from the room was great, as was the room itself which was very spacious. The food in the pub is lovely as well, highly recommend staying here, I certainly will be again if I’m ever back in the Isle of Man!

I STAYED AT THE GEORGE FROM THE 19 TH TILL THE 23 RD OF SEPTEMBER 2024, HAD A FANTASTIC TIME AT THE GEORGE IT IS A GRATE HOTEL LOVELY STAFF GRATE FOOD AND NICE ROOMS, IT SO GOOD I AM GOING BACK NEXT MAY 2025, I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO STAYING THERE AGAIN. 5 START.

We had a lovely and quiet room (#4) on the side alley with a large window with seating. The room had a modern and very spacious bathroom ensuite. The most comfortable bed and pillow in our 2-week trip! Very much enjoyed the hospitality of Natalie, the Manager, and Sean at the bar and restaurant. They made recommendations for touring and gave us marked maps too. We had delicious meals in the restaurant and enjoyed the pub atmosphere too. Having parking onsite was a plus. Castletown is quaint and the Castle Rushen is just a few steps from the George. It was a perfect and memorable stay.

We had a lovely weeks stay in The George. On arrival we were shown to our room which had a view across the square to the castle and we were offered help getting our luggage up to the room as it was up 2 flights of stairs the second being quite steep (if you struggle with stairs ask for a room on the 1st floor as I don't think there's a lift). There's a small car park at the back of the hotel along with a beer garden. The room was comfortable with everything you need during your stay, tea, coffee, biscuits, toiletries, hairdryer etc. For breakfast there is an excellent choice of freshly cooked options. As there seem to be very few places in Castletown serving food on an evening we ate in the bar most nights which wasn't an issue as again there was a good selection and everything we tried was really nice. It's a popular place for food so worth booking especially if there's an event on in the back room. If you want a quiet room or go to bed earlier I'd recommend asking for a room not overlooking the square as there are outdoor games and it's a bit of an evening meeting point, also whilst we were there they had a big screen showing golf and then the Olympics. This didn't bother us as it was quiet by 10:30/11pm
