Best Western Clifton Hotel

We travelled as a group of friends and stayed on Saturday and Sunday nights . We found the Clifton very clean and comfortable , the staff were welcoming and professional at all times .The general areas are well maintained , the Ocean Bleu bar very stylish but comfortable . We had breakfast in the restaurant , this has lovely views over the neighbouring gardens. The breakfast buffet is excellent with a large choice of cold and cooked dishes. We did not eat in the restaurant in the evening but chose to go into town where there is good choice of restaurants. The area outside of the hotel (The Leas) is very nice with lovely sea views , we found Folkestone a pleasant surprise as a town with so much to see , much work is and has been done along with an ongoing contemporary art exhibition across the town . The harbour area and Fish Market are very interesting even though not totally completed. Transport in the town and area is excellent with frequent buses to all major local towns (Canterbury , Dover , Hythe etc.) We were all really pleased with our choice of town and The Clifton Hotel for our break. less

Splendour Victoria room bay window overlooking the private garden and partially sea view from the room. Breakfast lots of variety and good hospitality. Good location easy walking to town centre and a long walk to harbour side. Area safe and quiet. We had a quiet sleep. Good size super king size mattress. Paid parking £3 all day. Will stay here again. less

Absolutely fabulous hotel with great food and comfortable rooms lovely location right in on the sea and the booze is cheaper than one would expect. The entrainment was fabulous with a great cast and show. Highly recommend to anyone. less

Visited this part of Kent to see afew attractions and chose The Clifton as it was reasonably priced. On arrival we were warmly welcomed and the registration process was quick and simple. Our room was on the 3rd floor, accessed by a VERY small lift or lots of stairs, as the rooms have very high ceilings. Room was very clean and comfortable with views over the rear lawns. The public areas, lounge, snack bar and bar are all very comfortable, although seating is at a premium if the hotel is busy. All in all a good place to stay in a covenient and central location. less

Awful experience of afternoon tea here. We complained about the sandwiches as they were stale, these were replaced with another plate that we were told had just been made. They were overly cold as was the plate they were on so obviously had been made previously and stored on the plate in the fridge, these were also stale. The scones were warm not because they had been freshly baked but I am assuming to soften the stale hard tasteless scones that they became once they cooled down. By this time we didn’t want to touch the cakes! I tried one but the whole experience had been ruined and I didn’t enjoy it. Don’t waste your money on this afternoon tea, it really was terrible!🤢 less
