About The Sefton
The Sefton suits visitors who want a full-service base for exploring Douglas without giving up hotel comforts, thanks to its position on Harris Promenade. With 102 rooms, it works equally well for couples after a few days by the sea, groups attending a wedding, or anyone who prefers a hotel with proper facilities over a simple bed for the night.
Guests have use of an indoor swimming pool and gym, a bar and a library, along with two restaurants for breakfast or evening meals without needing to leave the building. Free WiFi is available throughout, and a lift makes moving between floors straightforward. The hotel also operates as a wedding venue, so it's set up for events as well as everyday stays.
Douglas itself is right outside the door, with the promenade setting for walks along the seafront, and Patrick listed as another point of interest nearby. It's a practical choice for those wanting a well-equipped hotel in the heart of the town.

What guests say
This hotel is as impressive as it looks. Excellent location, the friendly helpful staff are a credit. From the moment we arrived on the early morning ferry 06:30. We was able to leave our luggage behind reception as check-in wasn't until 3pm. Margaret on reception was lovely (as was the her co-worker, sorry I didn't catch your name). She contacted housekeeping and asked if they were able to get our room ready as early as possible. We checked in around 12 noon and were very well looked after. We got married in Douglas last year and stayed at the Sefton, we loved it so much we returned for our 1st Anniversary and were only more impressed with everyone at the Sefton. The atrium balcony rooms are beautiful, very comfortable and spacious. The cooked buffet breakfast was excellent every day. The restaurant staff (we recognised a few from last year) are very accommodating. The Encore bar is nicely decorated with outdoor seating (you can even share a bench with Norman Wisdom). The Bonzai restaurant again is amazing freshly prepared food. They have a fantastic menu and the staff are great.

The staff where lovely and the location is excellent but the room we were in looked out on to walls. And although the room was a good size, it felt very claustrophobic. We did ask for a room change and where told they would try, but there wasn't any where else available we where told it would cost us another £10 per night and we said we where happy to pay it. But still they said there where no other rooms.

Traditional old hotel in heart of Douglas centrally located on the promenade facing the sea. Delightful interior atrium with waterfall is this hotel's distinguishing feature. Rooms either face the sea, internal atrium or the buildings at the back. Onsite underground parking available for £4 per 24 hour segment. I haven't given five stars as the pool was out of operation at time of visit and bathroom water pressure was not great.
