The location is great. The room and bathroom were large. It could use a refresh to return it to its prior grandeur. It was clearly once a grand hotel. The atrium would be a great place for bar service. It met our needs.

A lovely hotel. Breakfasts were excellent with a very extensive menu. The swimming pool was beautiful. We had a very large balcony overlooking the atrium. There were free water bottles daily and a good sized fridge. A very central location. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

Spent four nights at the Sefton. Location is good with a bus stop right outside. Walkable in Douglas shopping area. Had room facing the internal atrium, so no outside view. Room very warm and although a fan was provided it didn't cool the room down. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was spacious as was the bathroom but was rather dated.

Everything about the hotel was great. Only problem we had, it was too warm. Our room faced the central part and there was no flow of air. It wouldnt stop us going back but we would chose a room with a window that opened to the outside

I stayed in an atrium room, which was too warm at night , had to close the patio doors due to noise from below, was ok after about midnight. Room was OK but bathroom needed a refresh. Room was supposed to be serviced on third day, this consisted of tea/coffee/biscuit refresh, a new toilet roll and bin emptied, no bed make or new towels until fourth day, the day before leaving! Otherwise excellent, great location on Douglas Prom, brilliant staff and good food options at reasonable prices.

Overwhelmed by this hotel and island. From the moment of check in by 2 lovely ladies we received an Atrium room which was an absolute delight. Newly refurbished rooms and a little balcony with chairs to sit out overlooking an indoor garden with lots of natural light. We don’t want to leave it’s been the best trip 🙏
