The hotel is in a very convenient location, close to restaurants and just a 5 minute drive from the ferry port. The hotel car park charge is reasonable but having to pay every day rather than a single payment to cover the stay is a bit of a nuisance. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was was good with a wide choice of hot and cold items. The bedroom was a good size and the balcony overlooking the atrium provided a pleasant place to sit. The only extra we would have liked is a few more hangers in the wardrobe. The four provided didn't quite do it.

The Sefton was well located, a short walk from the port, steam railway and horse drawn tram. Rooms were comfortable and breakfast very good. Staff were very helpful. In particular Margaret on reception went over and above offering advice and help. We will definitely book The Sefton again.....

The Atrium area was a bit shabby, and the bedrooms in this area though spacious were not functioning well. We had problems with hot water at peak times. However the location was perfect. There was a bus stop outside the Sefton, and some good restaurants within walking distance.

Great location, lovely view of the beach and everything within walking distance. Staff and service was absolutely 5* they were really friendly and helpful. For example We asked for advice on getting to the airport on checkout day they helped with route maps and even provided a packed lunch for us to take on the journey since we were out early. On one day there was a fire alarm and the staff were quick to act and so professional making everyone comfortable whilst the issue was resolved. We also enjoyed the breakfasts every morning. Rooms were nice but showed signs of age and some furnishings like chairs were stained. The building as a whole probably requires updating/refurb for example in the pool there was significant rusting on mirrors etc but this did not take away from the stay and we would come back again.

The Sefton looks wonderful from the outside and is quirky inside. There is a shortage of staff so your room is only serviced on the third full day of your stay and you have to hang a sign on your door or this won't happen at all, however you can ask at reception for fresh towels, tea, coffee etc. The interior of the hotel is dated and repairs are needed. Our bathroom on the 4th floor smelt terrible due to the drains and we were advised to keep our taps running which did help to alleviate the odour. The atrium is a nice feature although you can see into everyone's room from the balcony and conversations echo which make it quite noisy at times. There is no air conditioning and it is very hot and stuffy on the 4th floor, just like being in an airless conservatory. We found a fan in the room which we had on max speed the whole time. The swimming pool is strange, it has sloping edges on every side so not much room or depth to swim without banging your kneees and the changing rooms smell of very bad drains. Despite all this we really enjoyed our stay! The staff were very polite and helpful, the breakfast was wonderful and the location excellent.

The hotel's position on the promenade was good and handy for the ferry. It has a small car park underneath the hotel which operates on a first come first served basis. We found it difficult to find restaurants outside of the hotels. The few we found were not open on a Monday or Tuesday.

Had a lovely stay at the Sefton. Its right on the promenade, easy for all the amenities that Douglas and the Isle of Man has to offer. Right by a bus stop where buses can take you around the Island or to and from the airport. Also near to the Steam train, Electric train and the horse driven tram. Perfect location
