The hotel is obviously old but beautiful - in a great position. The staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. We thought it was good value for money, and we would stay here again.

Ok for the money

Room was clean, staff pleasant however the room was very basic and shabby. Good value for 1 night but would not want to stay longer or would use in future.

Family weekend stay

Excellent location and great value for the price paid. Old building but very tidy and polite and friendly staff. Lovely sea view from the window and room was very spacious.
Nazratun, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel was ok for what we needed, 12 blokes on a golfing trip don't have sophisticated tastes. My biggest complaint was parking, on the first night we couldn't find anywhere to legally park within half a mile, but after about 7pm, we moved our cars right outside the hotel for free parking till 8.00 the next morning
Steven, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Convenient location close to town centre and beach. Room was basic but sufficient if it's just somewhere to sleep,as it was for us. Only problem was the shower which took a while to get up speed. Had to lay shower head in the tray to get full flow!
Michael, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Overnight stay only. Extremely dated and room and bathroom needed major update. Bed however was comfortable

Having work done at hotel so couldn't get a breakfast. Room was ok had to ask for someone to close windows .it was easy to reach were I was going so not to bad
miss, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Southcliff has a great location high above the beach. I got a great view of a massive thunderstorm over France. It also has a smallish lift (elevator) to all floors. My ensuite bathroom room was small but adequate. The window was difficult to open (and keep open). Two electrical outlets are not enough in the 21st century.
jonathan, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The place needs work. Not clean. The water is very hot and cannot be adjusted
Shelly, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel room was clean, tidy and fresh looking. Rest of hotel looking its age and out dated. Took over half hour to locat a free parking spot in surrounding street
Neil, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Been many times in the past however not for the last 4 or 5 years. Was nice to see it hasnt changed too much and still old school quirky. Nice fresh paint in the rooms. Only disapointment was we had a sea view room above entrance. People outside talking at 5:30 am quite loudly. Which woke us up.Will come back again but not in a room directly above reception.
Kevin, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

I don’t like to give negative reviews but this place was very run down and could do with a big renovation. The bathroom was grubby and dated, the furniture was dated. If felt like I was in the 80’s again. We were meant to stay 2 nights but only ended up staying for one because it wasn’t a pleasant place to stay. The only positive thing I could say is that the location was good and the staff were friendly.
Nicholas, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Lady very helpful, pity the property is somewhat needing attention. Considering a lot of homeless people are currently living there which is great for them and the property but is not necessarily conducive for travellers.
