Great view over the sea as you eat breakfast. 3mins walk to the beach. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food very nice. Good wifi. Good parking. Everything very clean. Would stay again. 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

We booked this hotel for our anniversary and the photographs on the website made it look very nice. We pulled up outside the hotel and was looking forward to getting inside - the branding on the signage looked very contemporary and we were confident that we would get a nice hotel with a seaview as booked. Not so... The reception... More

We enjoyed a short stay at the Clifton Hotel. It was comfortable with friendly staff who always made us feel welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. Our bedroom was spotless and the food [ we had breakfast only] was extremely filling and enjoyable. A superb position overlooking the coast and most of the rooms had sea view. The hotel is... More

The room, a twin, was very clean and tidy, the beds comfortable and... More

Stayed here towards the end of Cowes week. Excellent staff. Beautiful grounds & positioning with wonderful views of the sea and 5 minutes walk from the Shanklin beach. Was taken over 6 weeks prior to my stay, and new owners are planning on improving already pleasant surroundings. Great value for money and wonderful breakfast! Many thanks for a wonderful stay! More

We have stayed at the Clifton as an extended family group, booking three rooms at a time, on several occasions and this year's visit did not disappoint. The new owners greeted us by name on arrival and were extremely friendly and helpful. We immediately noticed the new signage and the generally smartened up image of the hotel. They now offer... More

Stayed here for a night in early August on a tour of South UK. Were pleasantly surprised with the room for the price we payed and the views from the lounge were spectacular. The breakfast was superb, delicious bacon and mushrooms. On site parking and easy access to the village. New owners were very friendly and gathered they were in... More
