The Clifton has great character,the bedrooms are very clean and fairly modern.The reception staff are very friendly and welcoming. I stay here regularly on business trips. My only complaint is the buffet style breakfast.Instead of batch cooking the food it is mass produced at 7.00am and kept Luke warm in a Bain Marie.Great if you eat at 7am,not so good... More

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay at our hotel. I was very disappointed to see the problems you encountered during breakfast; I have discussed this matter in detail with The Heads of Departments involved. I do hope we can look forward to welcoming you back to our hotel in the near future More

I decided to give this hotel a second chance. Alas, there I was in my room at 2am when I was awoken by water dripping on my head! It was a slow leak from above. I moved the bed, placed a bin to catch the slow drip, and had a fitful night's sleep. Asap in the morning I reported it,... More

I must admit that I booked this hotel based on the photos I saw on the internet. Once we arrived I realized the photos must have been taken when Churchill was Prime Minister. The rooms were dreadfully dated, the bed was horrible, the place was not clean, everything was just really, really old. The food in the restaurant for breakfast... More

The food was excellent and the staff were so helpful and friendly - they could not have done enough for us all (AND THERE WERE 80 OF US)! I was the organiser and I did not have one single complaint from anybody which is very unusual with so many people and all this at a most competitive price. All in... More

Our first impressions of the hotel were quite pleasant - the lobby area well furnished and the staff friendly. However, there was no room in the carpark at the front of the hotel, so we were given a free ticket to a car park around the back which I was a bit nervous leaving my car in as it didn't... More

Suspicious stains on the sheets, we asked for an extra blanket and the stench of urine was almost overwhelming. We came back late and found they had locked the hotel, we had to bang on the windows having rung the buzzer constantly for about 15 minutes. Very strict rules about what happens when! Rooms are tired and sea view is... More
