Location fabulous. Hotel was small but the room was huge. Excellent breakfast. Bar facilities were also welcoming and quick. Nice clifftop garden. A very quiet and picturesque part of town.

Nothing in particular

Location stunning although it’s very steep hills / cliff. . BreakfastMost of the staff were very friendly

Single Bed uncomfortable for tall person. Too firm

Beautiful location. We had a second floor room with a balcony overlooking the sea. I think we had the best room in the hotel. Friendly, helpful staff. Full service breakfast was cooked to order. Beautiful hand crocheted pillows throughout the lobby area. Easy keypad entry for early morning outings to take sunrise photos on the beach.

Access to this hotel is mildly challenging. We did not have a car. The walk to the bus was longer than I anticipated, but not overwhelming. My husband has slight difficulty walking long distances.

Rooms were good size, clean, comfy bed, breakfasts were nice. Useful having a fridge in the larger room.

Desk was in a darker corner so needed to have the desk light on when using it.

Owners and staff very friendly and accommodating to any special requests. Superb breakfast every day. Perfect location for The Shanklin Chine, beachfront and close enough to the High Street and nearby restaurants. Thank you for an excellent stay.

Well located. Nice view. Quiet and peaceful.very good breakfast.

No elevator.

Excellent staff, location and breakfast

Would be good to have a fridge in the room.

The location was perfect. Views out to sea were wonderful and the garden a lovely place to sit on a warm day to enjoy those views. Very convenient for the village as only a few minutes stroll takes you to shops/pubs/restaurants etc. The staff are the hotel’s greatest asset, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The food at the onsite cafe was really good, all cooked fresh on order and the cakes were delicious. Would definitely recommend and hope to return for another visit.

The only downside was that there is no lift and a fair few stairs which wouldn’t be ideal for guests with mobility problems but otherwise everything was excellent.

Location was amazing. Friendly staff Lovely homely touches.

Location was great, the rooms were tidy and comfortable, the bar and seating areas downstairs were very nice. The toiletries provided were also a nice touch.

The door to my room didn't fully close so let noise in easily from the hall outside. The staff were not enthusiastic and I felt bad over their reaction to the small requests I had (breakfast 15mins early and paying on arrival rather than departure). Overall I have experienced better value for money in other hotels in Shanklin.

The breakfast was good quality comprising of a selection of cereals and a variety of cooked main courses; such as a full English breakfast, smoked salmon with scrambled egg on toast or smoked kippers etc. Our room was comfortable and had been recently decorated with a mini-fridge, coffee and teas facilities.This hotel is a family run business and we really enjoyed our short break.

The hotel does not cater for evening meals, but do provide hot snacks. But Shanklin Old Village is only a 10 minute walk away and the Village Inn Pub is worth a visit. The food was good with a varied menu and the staff were friendly.

Everything, The Clifton is our favourite place to stay in Shanklin. It's situation on the cliff path means there are great views. The staff are great and very welcoming and the Bistro menu is handy as there's not many places to eat in Shanklin early in the seaon.

Great location. Great Breakfast. Friendly staff lovely room.

The Clifton is about a 10-minute walk from the Shaknlin railway station. Very easy to locate, and a stone's throw away from the Shanklin beach and Shanklin Chine.The property is very comfortable, clean, and cosy. I liked the food (I had breakfast and dinner) - good variety, and freshly prepared. David (the proprietor) paid personal attention to every detail and ensured that there was absolutely no hitch during my stay.Bonus: They have a beautiful selection of books to borrow and read during your stay and a lovely beach view to enjoy while taking your meals.

Personally, there was nothing that I did not like. However, I did not see an elevator at the property. Folks with access needs might want to check beforehand.

Friendly staff and nice clean room! Convenient to the beach and town centre too

Great location, very friendly staff, and lovely breakfast! We really loved the common area and that they served light meals in the evening so we didn't have to go out for dinner after a long day exploring the island.

breakfast was really good and value for money

sea view room had a small window, but thats just the design of the building
