We were staying in the hotel for the valentines evening. From when we arrived the staff were very helpful. The room was lovely - we had a room overlooking the Atrium, such a lovely atmosphere. The room itself was very spacious with a sofa. The evening was fantastic and the staff again were great. The show was fantastic - Martin... More

We have stayed at this hotel a few times now and it has always been extremely good. In the past we have had balcony rooms in the Atrium, which are lovely. However, this time we had a sea view room (209) which was beautiful. It has a four poster bed which was very comfortable. There was a clever use of... More

Can i just say on planning a trip to the island i looked at this hotel and was pretty much sold on it, but didn't book myself. A relative on the island got me and my partner a very special rate as he has worked there in the past. We stayed mid week in room 396, we dont normally stay... More

Like other reviewers, I felt the decor a little tired in places. Apart from that, this hotel was lovely. We booked a package deal with ferry through 'Isle of Man Steam Packet' which was good value. The sea view room was a decent size with a sofa. The bathroom was also roomy with large bath and separate shower which had... More

Good value for money, comfortable, good food and polite and helpful staff, but the building is a little bit down at heel and could do with some TLC, particularly in terms of carpets and decorating More

Having stayed at a number of hotels in Douglas over the last three years I can confidently say that this is the best one having just returned from a four day stay. The service and food was top class, the room although a little old fashioned was spacious and had a view into the atrium which was beautiful. Sir Normans... More

We stayed at the Sefton over the Christmas period. Whilst we liked the Atrium room very much, we disappointed that we were not able to get anything to eat in the hotel; not even room service. Whilst we could understand this, if the kitchens had been closed for Christmas, we could see they were open and people were being serviced.... More

If you liked life in the 1950's then this is a good place to start. When you get to the hotel a welcome board says "Welcome to the world famous Sefton Hotel", when I asked the reception staff what was so world famous about the hotel, they couldn't tell me. They could also not tell me why the room they... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review on the Sefton Hotel. We apologise that our most recent employee on the front desk was not aware of the background behind the hotel being "world famous", but can assure you that several A list Hollywood stars have stayed with us and do recognise our name!

Stayed here for the first time in October for a couple of nights with my elderly Aunty. The hotel itself is lovely especially the atrium water garden which has a nice fountain/pond with lots of fish. The room however was another story. The furniture is starting to look a bit tired, paint comin off in the corridor plus floorboards are... More

Our stay at the Sefton was like the curates' egg..........not all bad. The service is what you would expect from an establishment that considers itelf to be the premier hotel on the island. It's just that the decor both in rooms and the public areas is all a bit tired and in need of a bit of TLC. Scratched and... More
