"Great hotel, very friendly and helpful staff."

"Unbeatable sea view room"

"Lovely hotel, friendly staff, perfectly situated close to the beach and the Old Village. A small amount of free parking on site. Very impressed with the facilities inside the hotel - including indoor swimming pool, hot tub & sauna. Be careful with your choice of room, by selecting a non-sea view, standard room for 2 x people we were allocated an accessible room right next to reception/main entrance on ground floor, which was really noisy, with very little privacy. Such a shame as the rest of our experience there was so good."

"We had a really super stay. Lovely people; comfortable room and delicious breakfast. I first visited the IOW in 1948 with the Boys Brigade and have been back over 30 times. There is no doubt that our next stay on THE Island will be with Westbury Lodge."

"Very much enjoyed our stay at the Clifton Hotel. We had the Seaview suite which was lovely spacious and very well equipped. We were lucky with the weather and even sat on the balcony . Service from David and Carys was excellent, nothing too much trouble. Freshly cooked breakfast every morning which was very good. We also had dinner from their bistro menu one evening which we enjoyed .Good recommendations from David for other dinner options , Pendletons in the high street and the Fisherman's Cottage Inn on the sea front. We would definitely stay here again."

"Had a lovely stay with friends at the Snowdon for a short break. The rooms were very comfortable, clean and spacious with a comfy bed. Breakfast was cooked fresh to order each morning with lots of choice on the menu. Excellent Eggs perfectly done with the full English. The hotel is very near to the cliff top path with great view of beach below and easy access to the lift if you don’t want to walk. Sally & Mike are full of information about the island and places to visit if you ask and there are lots of information leaflets if you need inspiration. We went to Osborne house which was a great day and interesting then relaxed with a meal overlooking Shanklin beach . Thank you for a smashing stay."

"We arrived mid morning on a Sunday - on arrival I had to phone the hotel number as we stood in the empty reception area to get someone to come and give us a room key, and we left the next morning ( again no-one at reception so we just left our key on the reception desk. We stayed for just the one night. This hotel had a very strange atmosphere/vibe. A great deal of the ground floor seemed to be closed up/not I use. I saw no other guests, in fact the whole place seemed deserted. and we did not book breakfast so I can’t comment on food. There was some very unusual furniture in the foyer area. Our room was for myself, my adult daughter and grandson and I’d understood I was had booked a room with 3 single beds, however on our arrival we were told this would not be possible and we were given a room with a double bed and a single bed. The room seemed clean and was quiet, the beds were comfortable and the shower was hot and efficient. The room was quite cramped and had a ridiculously huge old wooden desk which took up an unnecessary amount of space in the room. Location was peaceful, at the top of the cliff, very near to the entrance to Shanklin Chine which was definitely worth a visit. I would never choose this hotel again - I think it had been recently taken over but I would question why it seemed like it had been abandoned."

"Ok stay comfy beds and nice rooms definitely somewhere good to stay even better than last time"

"Well located and the owners were very welcoming. Short distance from the seafront and Shanklin Chine, easily walkable"
