On first arriving at the Clifton we noticed from the outside it needed a coat of paint. That was to put it mildly! The comments regarding the car park and reception staff have already been made and I completely agree. When we booked the two night break with Travel Zoo I spoke to Sally on reservations for the Clifton first... more

Having booked this place (bed and breakfast) via their booking agency for £180 for two nights I was expecting something special. Sure we got the sea views (which were fantastic) but the deluxe room was extremely basic with no mod-cons (no radio, no clock, no freeview/sat-TV, no fridge, basic toiletries...just a TV with five channels). The room was musty and... more

After booking the clifton and then reading its reviews my partner and I were a little apprehensive on what we would find when we reached this hotel. However after staying there I would definatly visit there again. Sure its no spring chicken however the lift with the old inner gate you have to close yourself etc only added to the... more

What a shame that the management haven't got a grip on this place because it is in one of the best spots in Scarborough.

The tatty, aging room was very Victorian...and it hadn't been decorated or properly cleaned since Victorian times. We got a special deal from travelzoo which made it just about bearable. However, we would not stay there again - even at half the price. On a positive note some of the dining room staff were well trained but we couldn't say... more

I stayed here with my husband, who was on business, and my parents, as we were celebrating my mother's birthday. Unfortunately we didn't arrive until 6.30 pm and the restaurant closed at 7.30 pm, so it was a quick turnaround. We thought the menu choices were good - there seemed to be something for everyone and although the food was... more

Went for a 3 night stay as part of a dance group in Nov 2008. The Hotel has seen better days and needs a lot of refurbishment. Our room was on the 4th floor and had a wonderful view over the bay towards the sea life centre. It was very cold during our stay but the central heating was on... more
