The Southcliff Hotel

I live in a town so this was perfect for me. I arrived and was welcomed at reception by Chloe.She was amazing,happy,welcoming,chatty,down to Earth which was brilliant.The residents bar was lovely and quaint.Yes its an old style hotel but I love the old style seafront hotels,the decor in my room was abit too much(covered in parrots haha) but that was minor. The room itself was spacious for me,had everything it needed,was perfect for my stay. The bar they have in the basement,well what a night that was. Being served by Connor,and joining my new American friends who also stayed at the hotel,we had an absolute ball. Few too many but lovely cocktails and happy hour,I will say it was a hit aha. I don't have any faults at all with this hotel,it's cheap,cheerful and is perfect where it is overlooking the sea.No curfew coming in,free WiFi,very helpful when it came to asking for information. Couldn't of asked for a happier,more comforting hotel. I would recommend this hotel,a perfect old style seafront hotel,a view to dream about,everything within walking distance,amazing hospitality and care for the residents staying,and for what it costs,it most definately holds its value. Definately somewhere I would stay again xxx

There is no free parking.

Excellent staff! Cheap you get what you pay for I wasn't expecting much for the price so was not supprised, rooms need a major facelift but can't fault for the price I paid lovely views of the coast!

Hotel is old but well presented. Floorboards squeaky through out. Especially in or on the floor above my bedroom..and a heavy person to boot..Great views. So happens the weather was perfect..i travelled solo met friends from Finland not seen for 25 years they visited their families Pleasant stay. I visited Crematorium where my Mother's ashes are spread in Grounds. So it was Emotional for me. I getting over Bowel cancer Have A Stoma ..Needed a lift near by. Not good on stairs...hotel were able to put me in to a single room next to lift...All staff Pleasant polite Helpful. ..

Aging, poor condition room. Bath had rust, floor uneven, bed ancient and sink in middle, matress and blanket?! Really past best by date. Damp ceiling. Just poor throughout.

Really enjoyed our stay here, it is dated, the floorboards do creak but if you want 5 star then you have to pay for it,staff are very friendly, the breakfasts are amazing, the bedroom was clean as was the bedding which was important,we had a sea view with a shared balcony, there was a model railway exibition on in the leas cliff hall so out hotel was full, this did not impact on the service, very happy to have stayed here.the bathrooms would benift from a heated towel rail as it can be cold when you get out of the shower, I must admit the shower lacked power and wished I had taken a bath instead.

Hotel has lovely sea views if you have a front facing room, its very dated and matteresses do need replacing and coukd do with a fresh updated look and lick of paint, but it has a charm about it, receptionist very helpful and a great asset to front desk. Overall its a great place for a short stay and breakfast is very nice and served well especially the scrambled eggs, best o have ever tasted.

Hotel was a little tired needs a upgrade but the most friendly accommodating receptionist to book you in , Bed was comfortable and hot running water

Check in was good, Connor was extremley helpful, welcoming and polite. Excellent customer service from him.
