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.

Stay at the Clifton.
I have stayed in a few hotels in the IOW but this was the best to date. The staff were really friendly and helped to make it a really relaxed environment. Rooms comfortable and clean with good on suite facilities.
Really enjoyed the Clifton. Great location on the sea front.

Excellent few days. Room very comfortable and had everything we could have required.Staff were exceptionally. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent breakfast freshly cooked and plenty of choice. Hotel Bar was a bonus after an evening meal in the village which was much appreciated.

The Clifton Hotel is very much a relaxing home from home. The building and pretty garden have an uninterrupted view of the sea and, if you get one of the comfortable rooms with a sea view, you can sit and watch the passing ships using the binoculars provided. Even better, get one with a balcony and you will be tempted to laze around for much of the day. There are plenty of books available around the hotel if you have forgotten to bring your own. The hotel lounge is a great place to while away the time too: once again you have a view of the sea and there are comfortable chairs to rest in and drink tea or coffee and eat one of the hotel’s delicious cakes. There is a small bar area and dining tables. The menu available includes what I call ‘simple food, done well.’ Breakfast is very good (be sure to try the freshly squeezed orange juice or homemade marmalade). There are lovely walks available from the Clifton, indeed, the clifftop walk passes right by the front of the hotel. Shanklin Chine is a few minutes’ away and the town is an easy walk. The relaxed atmosphere is helped by the friendly and attentive staff. Zoe and Dennis are keen to ensure guests enjoy their stay and are happy to tell you more about Shanklin and the Isle of Wight. We have already booked our next stay!

We stayed for 5 nights in a bay view room with outstanding views of the hotel garden and the sea beyond. We made use of the binoculars provided to watch the ships go by. We slept very well and enjoyed a generous breakfast each morning with the hot dishes freshly cooked to order. All the staff were friendly and helpful and had excellent tips for days out. The hotel is about a 5 minute walk from Shanklin Village where you can eat in the evening; we particularly liked The Crab for its menu and friendly staff. We would stay here again next time we visit the island.

Comfortable, clean, welcoming. Very adequate breakfast options on offer, as well as morning and afternoon teas served in a delightful garden or lounge. Serene sea views and within easy distance of park and esplanade walks, as well as town centre and a variety of pubs and restaurants.
