Clifton Hotel

It was a experience staying in such a wonderful hotel, they gave me a wonderful service throughout my stay. Credit to them

We came to Scarborough for an event at the Spa. The chosen hotel was booked out and we chose this because it had a carpark. The very old lift (younger than the hotel) was dis functional. The breakfast was adequate in quantity but the fruit was out of tins and only fried eggs available. There was no dinner only snacks at the bar. The bedroom was adequate but the shower head leaked and the one bed light did not work. There were no face cloths provided and the toilet paper of the lowest quality It is sad to see a previously excellent 3 or 4 star hotel deteriorate to a boarding house and charging as those it was still the former. The excellent reception staff and the breakfast bacon could not save it from a very poor assessment

We visited Scarborough for the Judas Priest concert at the Open Air theatre. As I need a hotel within walking distance to the venue (I have arthritis), we chose the Clifton, though the price was a hefty £189 for a one-night stay without breakfast, and an £8 parking charge. As a comparison, a room the days before and after the concert were £66!! Upon arriving, we were pleased to see our parking space clearly marked. We were able to check in early, at 1.30 pm. The room we were allocated was on the ground floor, number 14, and reached by walking through the large dining room and then down a variety of corridors in a building which is clearly an annexe. The room was quite sparse, but was clean and had clean bedding, tea and coffee making facilities, a small fridge, and in the single wardrobe we found an iron and ironing board, a fan (there is no air con), a radiator (no heating) and a brand-new blanket in a wrapper. The bathroom is small but functional, with really hot water and complimentary toiletries. We didn’t have breakfast, or buy any food or drink at the hotel. The two single beds in the room were quite shaky, and the mattress very firm, but we still had a good night’s sleep. The pillow was very supportive. There are double French doors in the room, opening up to a path up to the car park. I would stay at the Clifton again if coming to a concert, but the 300% mark-up the room rate is quite shocking. The car parking was what swayed it got me.

**Clifton Hotel** Thank you so much for your warm hospitality during my recent stay. A special shoutout to Julie—she was incredibly kind and helpful throughout. The room was spacious, spotless, and perfect for a family of four, with breathtaking views to top it off. I really appreciated the early check-in and the convenient car park space. Breakfast was generous and offered a great selection. Although I didn’t spot any dolphins this time around, my stay was truly memorable. I’ll definitely be back again!

Stayed 2 nights, what a lovely surprise, hotel clean and bright. well decorated unlike most of other Britannia hotels!. Had a lovely room, with everything we needed, a Tassimo coffee machine, (take a jar of coffee if you don't like pods) selection of teas, iron and iron board.fan, heater, hair dryer, toiletries, extra blanket, we wanted for nothing! Staff without exception were all friendly and genuinely seemed happy in their work. All engaged with us. Had a drink in the bar, which was cosy and welcoming, with a fantastic view of the bay. We'll definitely stay again. Got a good rate too direct with them.

Great little hotel for the price we paid, clean and well furnished, decorated and maintained, food was of good quality, great variety and reasonable prices, staff welcoming, can’t fault it really, we will be back as love to visit the open air theatre!
