Stay at the Clifton.
I have stayed in a few hotels in the IOW but this was the best to date. The staff were really friendly and helped to make it a really relaxed environment. Rooms comfortable and clean with good on suite facilities. Really enjoyed the Clifton. Great location on the sea front.

A wonderful and peaceful place.
We booked the hotel for six nights but as it was so good we extended our stay to eight nights. Our room had a wonderful view over the sea but was also very quiet. It has a lovely peaceful atmosphere.

Décor might be a bit dated for some but see through that and its a good location, the staff were very friendly and efficient and liked the little touches such as the packed lunch ready for me in the morning as was leaving before breakfast started. Over all a good hotel and would stay again.

Rail Worker
Check-in was prompt and went that little bit extra to actually take me up to my room, rather than just point which way to go. As I had to be on site early, I was going to miss breakfast, not a problem though as there was a well packed breakfast bag ready for me first thing. Lovely hotel, nice staff, will stay again.

What a view
From the moment we checked in, we we’re looked after by the Clifton, in fact before! We where allowed to park there to get rid of the car so we could start our break an hour or so early. The staff are lovely, the Manager Den has a lovely quirky sense of humor that made me chuckle. The Room was up a lot of stairs, but the payback, an awesome view. Lovely clean room, could have stayed days. Thank you Clifton. We will return.

Night in Shanklin
A genuinely lovely stay in Shanklin, the owners really look after the guests helping us settle in, take afternoon tea in the cosy lounge and organising a taxi for us. Room was clean with nice extras put out in the bathroom. Breakfast excellent. The hotel garden has won 2 awards and rightly so. Overall, great - we will be back.
