For five years our local charity The Luney Club has used the Marine Suite in the Cliff Hotal for our annual dinner and dances.Each year the event seems to get better and better and last Saturday was no exception. The event attended by over 150 people was a great success and this was mainly due to the excellent meal and... More

We stayed here as a travel offer and received a brilliant deal. The rooms were larger than expected as we were given bedroom and lounge with a large tv. The bathroom was the best surprise as it had a jacuzzi ! In the 80s the cast from hi de hi stayed here as it was filmed there.

I stayed the night here with my family. My boys really liked it. The rooms were huge, the staff very helpful and friendly. It is well situated overlooking the sea. Good value - would definitely recommend.

I've just walked into our room, after having a very lovely chat, with the smiley honest and very polite John, the Manager downstairs in reception. It's so lovely and spacious, with a separate lounge, with a massive tv in it. There's hair dryer installed in the bathroom and the bath is also a Jacuzzi! How cool is that. Not only... More

As a child visiting aged relatives in Dovercourt 50 years ago, I’d look up at the imposing facade of The Cliff Hotel, dreaming that one day I might stay there. My family enjoyed modest circumstances, and staying at The Cliff seemed as out of reach to us as staying at the Savoy in London or The Grand in Brighton. Now... More

Just what we were looking for. A reasonably priced hotel with a late bar to serve a cool beer after missing the ferry. The room was okay, especially for the price. I left my phone charger which they were kind enough to send home to me.

We had read a few reports, so I guess we were not expecting the 'Ritz'! In fairness we only ate here as part of a wedding reception. It is a typical 'seaside hotel, on the sea front with views. Parking was a problem, certainly the early evening that we arrived. The hotel has that old fashioned dated feel to it,... More
