Beds unbelievably uncomfortable - they were probably past their best about 20 years ago! Pillows lumpy and worn. Carpets smelly and stained( It looked like someone had been sick but it hadn't been shampooed properly.) I kept my shoes on the whole time. Torn and stained headboards.Wardrobe broken. Furniture old and tatty. Torn net curtains.(Didn't need curtains as the windows... More

Avoid this room at all costs, disgusting view out of the window of a filthy wall, window ledges & pipes covered in pigeon droppings as this was a roosting area for the said birds. They were noisy at night coming & going & woken up every morning at 5.30am by the dozens that were landing there. Also rubbish hanging from... More

Stayed for 4 nights with my partner. The hotel is ok, the room we stayed in was clean and tidy although decor could do with an update and the pillows were very lumpy! Our view was houses and bins which was disappointing. The hotel was quiet which is a bonus as most hotels we have stayed in been bit noisy!... More

I stayed at the Cliffdene for 3 nights with my 2 1/2 year old son. The hotel gave me a very good rate for a double room with breakfast and were very understanding that sharing with a small child is not the same as 2 adults using the room and having breakfast. The room was simple, functional, with pleasant furnishings... More

Stayed for 5 nights with my first ever coach trip. Hotel was quite a bit better than expected with my single room being much roomier and more pleasant than is usually dished out to us solo travellers. The room and ensuite shower room were all clean and tidy. The staff were excellent and in particular the restaurant staff were very... More

Spent 4 nights here. We were also there with the International students mentioned in a previous review, but had no problems at all. The slight drawback was that the bar was shut, but when we asked at reception, they did serve us a drink which we were able to enjoy in the sitting room! Despite the hotel being full on... More

Unfortunately there were 50 young people on a school exchange in the hotel. There was a set menu to suit them (we were told dinner would be served at 7pm although it was stated it was between 6 and 8 pm on hotel info) and the bar was not allowed to open. The noise as they partied in the room... More

Booked a single room to have somewhere to sleep for a night. Didn't expect very much for the price, but I was very wrong. Friendly welcome at Reception, super room with view over the sea, comfortable bed, warm, very modern bathroom. Bar staff great, breakfast (included) excellent so a very enjoyable stay.

Nothing much to add except to say that the Cliiffdene is an hotel with its own character and very friendly staff. We had a wonderful sea view room. Just like waking up to the Meditarranean each day, but it was too hot on account of the unseasonable heat wave we were experiencing, and there was no a//con. Food good but... More
