Royal Clifton Hotel

This is probably the 12th time i have stayed here if not more. Would not go anywhere else. Yes its an old hotel, undergoing renovations but it has character. Staff are amazing, rooms are comfortable and clean.

The staff were so lovely and helpful to me as I had travelled alone with my dog. They even looked after him for me while I went for my breakfast and never made me feel a nuisance for doing it. Room was very clean and spacious. Breakfast was so lovely.

Hotel was very good nice size room however drinks in hotel very expensive £18 for 2 shorts i asked woman behind bar for ice only to be told the can of coke was cold enough because she didnt want to get any she was walking round with shawl round her shoulders as though it was middle of winter we were there for 2 nights ìn april it was sunny but windy then she closed the bar wihout asking us if we wanted any more drinks but asked 2 more people if they wanted another this was at 20.45 bar had only been open a while i was told it was open later she wasnt very helpful also internet is advertised as very good we were in a room right at the end of the hotel the internet would not stay on kept losing signal absolute rubbish asked man on reception who was helpful but we were going home the day after so never bothered nice hotel and room but would not stay there again

I booked this on the morning of the night. I stayed there so very last minute. I booked it as it was a works Christmas night out, and it would save me driving. I wasn't expecting much, but I wasn't bothered as it was just a bed for the night. But for what I paid, I was pleasantly surprised . I booked a single room , it was clean , spacious, and had nice views out of the window to the front of the hotel and gardens in Southport. It had a decent TV, kettle with tea coffee milk and biscuits . A good-sized bathroom with a bath and shower and toiletries . Lots of wardrobe space and drawers and a little changing area with mirror. I also had a buffet breakfast in the morning, with continental and full English plus juices and hot drinks. You could have as much as you wanted. Plus, it was 12 midday checkout ! I paid £47 for the night, and that is very good value for what I got.

The lady on reception (didn't catch her name) was lovely, very welcoming, informative and was happy to help. The room was massive, with a lovely view, and whilst I appreciate it is because of the time of the year, it was still a lovely room for the price I paid. I had my dog with me, and the fact there are the ornate gardens opposite the hotel, made it a pleasure walking her, something you don't always get with some hotels.
