This hotel is located just by the Shanklin beach and it’s handy for the Shanklin railway station. The staff is really friendly and breakfast is pretty good. More importantly, the room is cozy and comfy with beautiful seaside views. Highly recommend.

As always the very best experience; very friendly and helpful staff, absolutely the best location on the cliff in beautiful Shanklin, generous breakfast menu, nice rooms, breathtaking seaview, lovely tea-garden, cosy bar (don’t forget to try the local Mermaid’s pink gin). My favourite home from home. Can’t wait to return.

We had a warm welcome, the administration was excellent as was the staff, The breakfasts were outstanding for their quality and variety. There was plenty of spaces to relax in, inside and outside in the gardens. Our "Bay view" room, overlooked Shanklin bay. Easy access to the cliff top walk an d old Shanklin village. Off road parking was a definite plus Looking forward tour next visit J and J {Hampshire)

Visited the Isle of Wight many many times over many years and lived here for 7 years, but never stayed at the Clifton Hotel. What a pleasure it was for our weeklong break. The breakfasts were first class, as was the service we were given. This is a happy place to be with all of the staff happy, chatty, pleasant, and all want to make a positive impact with the guests. The sea view from our bedroom was full 180 degree uninterupted, and the gardens were beautiful and well maintained. We will definitely be back to the island as we love holidays there but we will also definitely be back at the Clifton because the whole experience was so uplifting which is what we really needed from our break. Massive thank you to all of the staff who work so hard.

A lovely hotel: friendly and helpful staff; clean and comfortable; great breakfast; sea view from the front of the hotel and its garden; very close to Shanklin Chine. I would say the hotel was a highlight of our short holiday on the Isle of Wight

The Clifton is a home from home. It provides everything you need for a loverly get away. We stayed in a Bay room with lovely sea views, and woke up to the sun rising over the English Channel each morning. We were very impressed with the excellent breakfast provided, and usually partook of a pot of tea in the afternoon in the sunny conservatory, We also enjoyed the company of the excellent barman when having a drink in the evening. He was a mine of information on the island and itshistory.
