Great location very close to the seafront (we could see the sea from our room) and slightly away from noisier/busier part of Folkestone. 10-min walk to train station. Comfortable bed and very good bathroom. Very good breakfast (although bread quality could be improved). Overall a great stay - would not hesitate to stay again when visiting Folkestone again.

I’ve been visiting the Clifton hotel since I was a teenager, originally with my parents, and over the decades have stayed on lots of trips and mini breaks! The latest custodians have done an amazing job in both refurbishment and conserving this classic old hotel!! They give you a walk welcome and are genuinely happy to see you. The breakfast was lovely every morning, plenty of options and choices Visited the Marco Pierre White steak house in the hotel as well and the food was perfectly cooked and service was superb Well done to the new owners it truly was a pleasure to visit you, we will definitely be back very soon

8/10 Very good

The breakfast was good. I only found out as I left that as I had paid for the breakfast I could have had a free choice from the breakfast menu. It was disappointing not to be told this by staff. The water in the bedroom fridge was not replenished during my stay which I thought was very poor. Only basic PG Tips and Green Tea in room . No Earl Grey. Poor in comparison to the range of coffee . I don’t drink coffee. The restaurant is lovely in the evening but service slow.
