Stayed here for 2 nights with 8 persons in their late 80's for a 90 th Birthday. Excellent service, they really looked after us and made the occasion very special. The staff on reception and in the dinning room were brilliant and very understanding, a big thank you. Only downside was lack of seating in lounge area due to there... More

I stayed at the Best Western Royal Clifton Hotel and it was quaint and cosy. I could envisage my parents and grand-parents being nostalgic about a place like this. As it had an obvious history with plenty memorabilia to support a time that was its hey-day, which has long since gone; but still the halls and corridors seem to hold... More

The room was situated on the front of the hotel overlooking the promenade and public gardens, it was a very big room with two easy chairs in the... More

This property is tired and many of the staff are surly and unprofessional. The food is poor and the housekeeping was, well, a joke. I estimate that I've about 1500 hotel nights under my belt, and this Hotel is near the bottom on the list of places to stay for that Star Rating. The start was fine, with the Receptionists... More

The hotel looked lovely on the outside and in. Very old and quirky with squeaky floor boards which I loved. However the room was very small, and has a shower and no bath. It was nice enough and had everything we needed for our night stay, with shower gel and shampoo - saves us bringing our own. The breakfast was... More

Stayed here for 2 nights for a wedding and it was perfect for both the wedding and a weekend break in a traditional Victorian seaside resort. Food was excellent throughout but a special mention is due to the breakfast! Staff always helpful and friendly and the room was an excellent size and decorated in an appropriate manner for its setting,... More
