Thomas, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good but .....
The hotel, which I have used a few times, feels a little tired with some communal areas looking quite shabby ( toilets on floor 1 as an example ). The service was good and helpful. Breakfast excellent , although as a family we were a little concerned that too much had been made available and commented to each other on the potential waste.
Edward, 2-night trip

I spent three days at the Sefton. Slept like a log each night, had very good breakfasts and met so kind personnel. I hope to be back very soon.

Excellent Stay
Excellent weeks stay . Good breakfast and lovely staff. All clean and tidy but don’t expect it to be brand new . It’s a vintage building with lots of quirks. Would recommend.

Pleasant stay
Great location, hotel itself is a bit dated but clean. The room I stayed in was very hot and no temperature controls to change inside the room. Breakfast was good and staff friendly! Would stay again for business.

We area well travelled couple and whilst not being 5 star it makes up for it in so many other ways. Makes for a good hotel accommodation in Douglas.

Great hotel
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in one of the Atrium rooms, it was great to have the balcony in such a lovely atmosphere. It was a bonus to have a very quiet fridge in the room with complimentary bottles of water. The Encore was a lovely bar and the food in the Bonsai was amazing, the best meal out ever for a vegetarian.
