The Sefton Hotel is in my humble opinion the best of all the Isle of Man hotels. It’s certainly the one that I would be most comfy recommending to friends and family. Located almost smack bang in the centre of Douglas promenade you are 2 minutes away from the Villa Marina and literally a stone throw from the Gaiety Theatre. Because of it’s ideal location the Sefton has enjoyed stays from many celebrities filming on the island.
If you are planning to base yourself in the Sefton but want to reach out and explore other parts of the island then you are not short of options. There is an underground car park available for all guests (a nice feature as parking for more than 3 hours is very limited on the promenade), several bus routes pass by the front door and you are only 2 minutes away from a taxi rank. The Manx Electric railway can be reached in 5 minutes via a Horse Tram ride that goes right past the front of the building or if you like it’s a nice 20 minute walk, when the weather is nice that is! The main bus depot with connections to all other parts of the island is a 10 minute walk away and the islands famous Steam Railway is about 15 minutes walk, or a couple of pound in a taxi. If you are arriving via the Steam Packet then your transfer to the Sefton is a five minute taxi ride across Douglas prom.
As a modern hotel the Sefton contains all the amenities you would expect including a health centre (swimming pool, spa, steam room, gym, sauna), business centre and disabled access. In your room you’ll find coffee and tea making facilities, a fridge, TV and hair dryer. The rooms meet all expections of somebody expecting a modern purpose built hotel, something which I know other hotels on the island can sometimes disapoint with.
Being in the centre of Douglas anybody staying at the Sefton has access to the Isle of Mans limited night life but if you’d prefer the hotel has a great 1 rosette restaurant and the ever popular Sir Norman’s bar. As stated above, if you’re into your shows and stage acts then you are within 5 minutes of both of the islands main venues for this type of entertainment.
Overall then the Sefton Hotel is a great place to stay on the Isle of Man. Good food, fabulous friendly service, all the amenities a modern hotel guest could want plus great transport links.
