Stayed at this hotel from Monday 20th May 2013 for four nights. Shared a twin room with my mother and overall we were more than happy. Our room was clean with plenty of space and a large bathroom. The bed linen was spotless and the matresses appeared new, very comfortable. We were at the back of the hotel on the... More

Stopped at the Clifton' really looking forward to it as I had never been to Scarborough before, but boy was I disappointed, the room was not very clean, windows were painted shut so you could not open them, FOOD was not the best quality and not very hot, ended up eating out for 3 of the 7 nights we were...

Whilst I did not actually stay at this hotel I did buy a Groupon voucher for it. At 21.20 the night before we were due to arrive I received a telephone call to say the hotel was overbooked and we were to be moved to the Grand Hotel. I was not at all impressed by this, and had no choice... More

This Hotel is very outdated and very grubby, it needs a lot of work doing to bring it into the 21st century. My husband had paid for an upgrade so dread to think what the original room would have been like. The room wasn't very clean the light fitting was dangerous, there was a nail sticking out of one of... More

The hotel is being decorated around the guests. Wet paint in corridors, workmen walking through the restaurant, asbestos roof being removed in the carpark etc. Staff with the exception of the dining room staff were rude, unhelpful and inefficient. Parking almost impossible unless you pay up front £6 a day. Only good thing is the sea view which was magnificent.(... More

I have just returned from a three day break at this hotel and it was dreadful. Firstly, workmen are all over the building as major refurbishments and structural work is being carried out. The hotel is not closing off a floor to refurbish and repaint - one gentleman had paint all over his jacket as there was no sign to... More

My wife and I booked a two day break at the Clifton, from 8.5.2013 to 10.5.2013. We arrived at 3.00pm, booked in, paid for the reserved parking and were given the keys to room 487. On arriving at the room, there were a number of faults. Leaving aside the dreadful state of the decorating - there was a fair sized... More

Just had a very nice weekend at the Clifton hotel and really enjoyed it. We had a lovely room with a sea view and it was very clean and comfortable. Very good value for the money we paid and we found the staff very helpfull and friendly. Will certainly go again.

Booked a two night break, a trip down memory lane ( we went to Scarborough for our Honeymoon 50 years ago)? We only stayed one night. Absolutely awful place. We were given room 128, it was dirty the furniture and carpet shabby, the light fitting was lacking a cover so the wires were threadbare, window frames dirty with paint flaking... More
