10/10 Excellent

Family weekend stay

Excellent location and great value for the price paid. Old building but very tidy and polite and friendly staff. Lovely sea view from the window and room was very spacious.
Nazratun, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Convenient location close to town centre and beach. Room was basic but sufficient if it's just somewhere to sleep,as it was for us. Only problem was the shower which took a while to get up speed. Had to lay shower head in the tray to get full flow!
Michael, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Southcliff has a great location high above the beach. I got a great view of a massive thunderstorm over France. It also has a smallish lift (elevator) to all floors. My ensuite bathroom room was small but adequate. The window was difficult to open (and keep open). Two electrical outlets are not enough in the 21st century.

10/10 Excellent

Lovely old building facing the sea, very quiet inside & outside, just 16 mins walk to town
Gail, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The place needs work. Not clean. The water is very hot and cannot be adjusted
Shelly, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Been many times in the past however not for the last 4 or 5 years. Was nice to see it hasnt changed too much and still old school quirky. Nice fresh paint in the rooms. Only disapointment was we had a sea view room above entrance. People outside talking at 5:30 am quite loudly. Which woke us up.Will come back again but not in a room directly above reception.
Kevin, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Lady very helpful, pity the property is somewhat needing attention. Considering a lot of homeless people are currently living there which is great for them and the property but is not necessarily conducive for travellers.
Richard, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Hotel room was clean, tidy and fresh looking. Rest of hotel looking its age and out dated. Took over half hour to locat a free parking spot in surrounding street
Neil, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Don’t let your initial vision put you off, the hotel looks very run down but is very clean and comfortable. We had a sea view which was nice however it also means you have the hotel front lighting shining through the curtains which isn’t ideal. We would stay again with more limited expectations.
Ian, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Avoid at all costs

As a well travelled couple both in the uk and abroad this has to be the worst hotel i have ever stayed in. No heating, discarded tissues in the room, an unfriendly receptionist, no free parking as stated, water stains on the ceiling worse than the titanic, the shower wouldnt give a sparrow a good wash and completely run down. Makes fawlty towers look like a luxury resort.
Dominic, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Functional

Basic functional hotel for a short overnight stay, hotel is clean on reflection ( towels bedding bathroom etc ) but it is aged and somewhat run down
DEAN, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The hotel requires complete renovation. Desperately needed
Raymond, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

Was unablento have a shower as the water drbbled out out the shower head, really disappointing
lee, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I been there two times now and didn’t get any problem and they even allowed dogs which is a bonus yes I recommend it’s really nice 5 stars
Nigel, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Customer service great but no basic hot water

Unfortunately we have experienced a cold water so then the day after hot water so we could not have a shower at all.
Rafael, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good Points - Very comfy and large bed. Friendly staff and very quiet. Very cool retro lift which was a highlight. Small bar with decent pool table. Bad Points- Greeted with a £30 damage deposit request on arrival which you get back once the cleaner has inspected your room. Makes you feel like your untrusted and dodgy. Website states parking yet this is basic on street pay and display parking away from hotel. Whole hotel is like stepping back in time. In need of major refurb. Bar was lacking alcohol, lights for pool table illuminating the floor next to the table. No partition on balcony so couldn't leave door open over night, no windows for fresh air. Door to room would not lock, had to prop a chair behind door.
Mark, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great stay
Shane, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

The hotel is in a very poor condition. Clearly lack of maintenance. It's run down and obvious hasn't been decorated for the past 30 years
Jack, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Comfy but needs work

Friendly staff, clean room, very comfy bed. The outside looks delapidated and carpets in the passageways are old and a bit grubby. The lift was small and the lift doors could do with painting. The signage could do with updating. They are obviously trying to upgrade everything but the room could have had a new lampshade on the room light and pull string in the bathroom. The room wall table could do with a paint or restaining. The wardrobe internal shelf should be painted.
Sarah, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Not far from town parking was abit of a pain have to pay which it doesn’t save that on web and I paid extra for balcony but had no chairs to seat out there with was a shame
