Royal Clifton Hotel

Been disabled was paramount. As long as parking on hotel front was guranteed, then this hotel was excellent for me. I enjoyed close parking, easy access, gr8 breakfast options. Good staff A pool or games room would put extra stars on what is already good value for money.

Easy to walk into town. Parking available at a fee. Excellent breakfast. Friendly staff. Hope hotel continues to be refreshed

I booked a sea view room. Stunning views over the Promenade. Look, it’s a very old hotel, so maintenance is needed constantly. Creaking floor boards and dated corridors. That comes with the territory. My room was superb, clean and bright. I was pleasantly surprised by the breakfast (12.50) if a walk in. Piping hot, good selection, spotlessly clean. Comfortable bed, nice and quiet, very helpful reception staff.

Great location a few minutes walk into town nice view from the hotel on the promenade. This hotel is now dated and requires some general maintenance, but the rooms and general areas are all very clean plus nice freindly staff and environment. Would i stay here again yes definitely.

Old building and smelly rooms

My son and myself stayed for 2 nights. There was no hot water, it was luke warm at best.No plug sockets in single bedroom ???. Remote for tv didnt work. We'll probably avoid this one next year.

A very good location overlooking the promenade, but only a few hundred yards from Lord Street - Southport's main street. It's a hotel in the 'grand' style, rather too big now and some parts are clearly in need of modernisation and repair, but all public areas are clean and very nicely decorated. Large lounge/bar area. Full breakfast available, with plenty of choice. Lots of parking space at the front of the hotel.

Our room was clean and beds comfortable, the furniture old but adequate, bathroom was old, white toilet seat on an old salmon coloured suite, both sink taps leaked, tiles and grouting in need of replacing and nothing like the pictures I saw online. Carpets through the main lobby very stained. I feel the hotel is in need of refurbishment inside and out, however, the Staff were very helpful and friendly; the breakfast was fine.

It was an amazing experience to visit royal clifton hotel. I had an amazing experience with staff. The only cons was the shower wasn’t working properly. The flow was intermittent

Reasonable stay for the price. The first room we were given had stains on the walls and animal fur all over the carpet but we were offered another room when we complained. The second room was more acceptable. The bathroom was smaller, tired with poor water pressure.

I was not very impressed with not having any hot water in our room on arrival

The shower was excellent. The building was tired and shabby inside and out. The room did not have a sea view, or tissues, or usable toilet tissues, or a fridge or a safe. The windows were filthy. The bed was comfortable. The bedside lights were so far from the bed you had to get up to turn them on or off. There was no fresh drinking water in the room or available. The breakfast looked inedible so I didn’t eat it. The bins in the room were not emptied in the 4 days I stayed there. The hand wash was in the shower so you couldn’t use it and there was no shelf in the shower for shower gel etc. I would not recommend it but the bed was comfortable and the shower was large and the water hot.

The only contact we had with the staff,was when we checked in, the receptionist was pleasant. I stayed at the Royal Clifton over 20 years ago,in a larger family room,I remember it being quite grand upstairs. To be fair we booked a basic two night stay,which we got,sadly the exterior looks worse for wear.

Value for money, we enjoyed our stay

Empty Thatchers cider bottles left in the wardrobe, which is still there now. Didn’t throw them out. No parking on hotel property so had to pay for street parking. Costing a small fortune. The surrounding areas are run down and derelict. A lot of buisnesses are run down or shut down. We had things to do in the area, we stayed for Blackpool pleasure beach but if we hadn’t booked that, there is VERY little to do. Someone attempted to get into the room, trying the door at 1am. Shoulder barging the doors. We left a day earlier than we should have.

For what we paid it was better than expected. Beds were comfy, bedroom & bathroom very clean Breakfast is definitely worth purchasing at check in at £9.95, it was lovely.

Nice clean comfy room. Friendly staff. Shower was very poor sadly with no pressure and not very warm. You can hear full blown conversations outside the door. Attention to detail wouldn't go a miss in parts of the room aswell.

This is a good hotel, pleasant staff, easy check-in. Room was clean, tidy, spacious. This hotel has a nice feel to it an a little bar with comfy seating space. It is in a good location, most amenities within walking distance. Would stay here again.

we stayed here for two nights in July . The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and clean. We booked a room at the front of the hotel with a partial sea view. If you have never been to Southport the beach is quite some distance from the promenade. The only downside to the view was that the outside of the windows had not been cleaned for quite a long time , the windows were dirty and had seagull poo on them. There were also a number of sqeaky floorboards in the hallways. We did not eat at the hotel because we just prefer to eat out. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would consider staying there again .

Very spacious room and friendly staff
