Great staff, Pierre at reception was pleasant and helpful throughout our stay! A couple of set backs...: The property was in renovation, and this was not indicated anywhere on the Expedia website. A whole floor was in full works, and the stairs were understandably dusty, dirty etc. The elevator is very small so it made going up and down inconvenient. The works also continue through the weekend... The property is not soundproof, you can hear noise from the corridor, rooms on the side, and steps from above floors. We booked a seaside view, and paid the corresponding price... but only got a partial view, that required leaning on the window to actually see the sea. Water pressure in the shower was very weak, and water took 15 minutes to warm up to lukewarm. Excellent bedding and big, spacey room. TV didn't work properly but no biggie. No shelves to store clothes etc, only a few hangers. Wifi patchy. Show floor slippery, take care, in socks or shoes. Super convenient for walking to Folkestone city centre, and right by the Leas park and the seaside walk, perfect location.

The hotel is undergoing complete renovation on some floors, lifts not working, plastic covering stairs, noise and disruption was clearly evident and the hotel should not be open, from a health and safety perspective and for the enjoyment of the stay, really disappointing that this information was not made available when booking, it’s actually quite shocking that a large group like best western operate like tthis.

This was my 5th stay at the Clifton - this time I had one of the refurbished rooms, and it really shows. I have always liked the older rooms, but the newer ones are very good. Hotel is well located on the Leas, easy walk to town. The breakfast is good, and the Marco Pierre White restaurant is well worth a visit. No doubt I will be back.

Amazing stay
Stayed in one of the newly refurbished rooms with a lovely view overlooking the sea. Excellent room and very comfortable bed. We paid the extra £2 for breakfast which was brilliant loads of options and good quality items. This hotel will alway be our go to whenever we are down Folkestone watching a show at lea cliff theatre which is just across the road.
