Lovely hotel

Lovely hotel, fabulous rooms, friendly check in staff and complimentary biscuits on arrival. Parking not brilliant - managed to get the last spot. Not sure where else we would have gone. Lift a bit weird - we used the stairs.

July stay at the Clifton

Hotel refurbished and updated to a very high standard. We were impressed at the cleanliness and eco-awareness at the hotel, together with helpful and attentive staff. This was an all-too-short but very memorable stay.

John, 9-night trip

Nice stay and would stay there again

Older Hotel which has been recently renovated. Rooms were very comfortable but would have liked the option of a queen bed. Only downside was air conditioning was a bit on the warm side even with the temperature turned down. We were able to open the window to let fresh air in. No onsite parking but there is street parking just outside and also a carpark just around the corner. Restaurant food was very good and the staff were excellent, very professional.

Great hotel

Really good stay in a lovely hotel. Parking is difficult as the paid spaces are first come first served and not just for this hotel so is always busy . Would definately stay again though

Comfy and client but parking not secure

Comfy bed and very clean room. This hotel DOES NOT have in site parking. It’s on the road which should be a lot clearer when looking for secure parking for a car full of holiday gear

Lovely Hotel and excellent food

Lovely hotel, very smart with friendly greeting on arrival. Lovely and quiet, large room with great sea view, with air conditioning. Added bonus of Marco Pierre White Restaurant in the hotel, serving excellent food and comfy chairs in the bar. Lovely quality breakfast the next morning with garden views. Stress free night away with paid street parking nearby.

6/10 Good

Not bad

Booked a 'cosy' room and it was a little on the snug side, but fine for one night. Dinner in the restaurant was a bit disappointing and as I checked out at 5am, I didn't have breakfast. Hotel is clean, modern and nicely located on the sea front but the reason for my low score: the service generally was woefully slow!
Alister, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not great, not terrible

Can’t say it was the best hotel I stayed in. The hotel was going under a refurb and lack of sign posts to floors/rooms meant we kept getting lost. Our room had no phone signal and couldn’t connect to the WiFi and the bathroom was very tiny (as someone who is 6ft3 I struggled in the bathroom and shower. Nice location, nice hotel in general, friendly staff but probably wouldn’t stay here again.

From the time we set foot in the hotel, we were met with a smile and a helpful attitude. The room was very spacious, clean and a beautiful sea view. The food was exceptional, and a wide variety of drinks.
