Great location very close to the seafront (we could see the sea from our room) and slightly away from noisier/busier part of Folkestone. 10-min walk to train station. Comfortable bed and very good bathroom. Very good breakfast (although bread quality could be improved). Overall a great stay - would not hesitate to stay again when visiting Folkestone again.

I’ve been visiting the Clifton hotel since I was a teenager, originally with my parents, and over the decades have stayed on lots of trips and mini breaks! The latest custodians have done an amazing job in both refurbishment and conserving this classic old hotel!! They give you a walk welcome and are genuinely happy to see you. The breakfast was lovely every morning, plenty of options and choices Visited the Marco Pierre White steak house in the hotel as well and the food was perfectly cooked and service was superb Well done to the new owners it truly was a pleasure to visit you, we will definitely be back very soon
