Arrived late and were phoned by the owner whilst in the car park to say the check-in desk closed half and hour ago (10pm). A bit surprised at this given only mention of check in times on the website, email and booking was "From 3pm". At least he bothered to phone and stay up, but he was not best pleased... More

We stayed in the hotel for 3 nights intending to stay for two but extended for a further night due to the beautiful views from the balcony and the relaxing peaceful ambiance of the venue. The food was very good and the service and attention given to detail was excellent. The room was clean and well maintained having recently been... More

It was with great excitement that we went for a our first trip to the Isle of Wight. The atrocious weather aside, we did enjoy seeing the island. However our stay at the Clifton was a mixed bag. The room was very clean and warm, bed very comfortable and the hotel is perfectly situated- was a real joy to eat... More

We stayed here in very mixed weather - at one stage the owners had to cope with guttering torn off in high winds and causing a flood! - but the warmth of their welcome and the standard of service never varied. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable, the communal areas really welcoming and the views and walks unbeatable.... More

We planed our Easter week end in Isle of Wight. we had choice between several brochures and websites. We finally turned to this Hotel due to the Sea view, price, and proximity to the old village. The booking was very friendly, and we managed to get the desired room for the week end. We enjoyed the warm and welcoming atmosphere.... More

After reading the previous guests reviews we just knew we had to stay at the Clifton. Easy to find and park, a friendly welcome. Perfect room excellent food and service. Beautiful views out to sea and round the coast. Excellent position for Shanklin Chine and the old village with so many 'chocolate box' buildings. We only stayed one night in... More

We had a balcony room as I had asked to be able to see the sea from my bed! I wasn't disappointed! Lovely, clean room with very nice bathroom. Breakfast was excellent and we loved the choice of buffet items along with the full English! One afternoon we had a cream tea delivered to our room and sat out on... More

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for one night as we wanted to get away from work and have some peace. When we arrived one half of the new managers was outside doing something with the bins! (they have only been there for three months). We had what I think was the best room with a balcony (£128)... More

We stayed at this lovely little place in April 2011 and had a great time. The people that run it are lovely, pleasant and helpful without being too imposing and over the top. We paid a little bit more for a sea view room but it was worth it. It is right on the sea front. We had a huge... More
