Wifi was awful - really slow and impossible to do any sustained work through

Staff were lovely- friendly and welcoming. Bed was super comfortable.

There was nothing I didn;t like

I booked 2 sea view rooms but due to scaffolding being errected, the hotel called me and asked if I minded staying in an Atrium room. I'm glad I did. I loved the balcony and having a drink on it, over looking the atrium from the 3rd floor, While there is no outside view, apart from the atrium roof, the rooms are lovely. Great breakfast. Absolutely amazing staff. Great bar in Sir Norman's. The Sefton is our hotel of choice whenever we visit the IOM each January

Leisure facilities- smell of drains strong in changing rooms.

The staff were really helpful when we had an issue with our room. Great restaurant, Bonzai, definitely worth going to.

Housekeeping promised to clean the room after 3 days and when they didn’t, I phoned the number to ask for fresh supplies of coffee and milk. I got through to an answering service and left a message. No one responded over the next 2 days and I had to go and see reception to get any response.

It had all of the facilities I look for in a hotel

Cleaner never came in room, we had to go to reception for toilets rolls! Didn't expect Cleaner to change sheets or towels, but expected clean coffee cups, toilet rolls etc. Room was clean, view awful, net curtains old fashioned. The lady on reception told us the electric train was running, when we got there,found it doesn't run on Monday.

Breakfast wasn't included on the booking even though I did click on bed breakfast on the app, so we had to pay extra for the breakfast, we had the continental which was OK. Room was spacious, but extremely basic, old fashioned, carpet threadbare, view from window bad. The man in reception in afternoon/evenings was very helpful and friendly.

No bar food available for resident because of a private function on in the BAR which spilled Over In to the library resulting in resident having to ask people to move in order to get to their room....

I would have to be very picky and that wouldn't be fair.

The room was very spacious and very comfortable. The balcony looked out over the Atrium and was ideal for a morning cuppa or a night time drink. The bathroom was good, the shower a little small but adequate. I can't fault the food at breakfast, plenty of choice and plenty of it 10/10. Normans bar and the Bonzai restaurant are excellent and they serve especially good Martini's. Already planning to go back.

My bed was really uncomfortable, the mattress was changed but the problem remained. I woke up with lower back pain everyday. The main purpose of staying in a hotel is for sleeping so this was a big downside.

It’s a beautiful hotel, location is excellent, staff were very friendly. The breakfast is fantastic.

The carpet in my room was frayed by the bathroom. It could have been a trip hazard to some people. The walk in shower design was poor as the curtain did not stop the water from cascading onto the floor. The shower over the bath was also unusable as there was no shower curtain attached.

The room overlooked the fish ponds in the Atrium. It was a tranquil space. The balcony was perfect for relaxing. The hotel itself is on the promenade very close to the shopping area with good restaurants nearby.

There was temporary scaffolding covering the frontage but it was due to be removed.

Comfortable and welcoming. The room was well furnished with a tea & coffee tray with biscuits. There is a fridge too.

The weather was atrocious on a couple of days but that's hardly the hotel's fault.

We were upgraded to a suite because the completion of work on our booked room had been delayed. We have never experienced such luxury! The staff were wonderful, the on-site Pan fusion restaurant was excellent, and the hotel was stunning. It was right on the esplanade with a short walk to the city centre.
