The Southcliff Hotel  

I Found the Southcliff Hotel on Google Maps, The first attraction was the exterior, and it's Position, I had been trying to find the ' Leas Lift ' the last time I went on it was when I was 6 years young 48 years ago !!! with my Dear Mother and brothers, Many memorys came back,... My Wife, and our 4 year old son took the lift. To see his face was a total joy !! ... I had a little less fear this time !! and was thrilled it was still there, All your staff were very helpfull, esp, the cute Latvian waitress !!! My wife noticed the dust above the doors, and the carpets have seen better days, but all in all, I think your hotel deserves 3 Stars, One more than it has, we all had a great time, & will come again, Thank you.x

If I was being picky... There was dust above the doors and central bedroom light, the hot tap in the sink was loose, and would drip when in use, and the Carpets could do with changing, Personally, I loved the squeaky floorboards throughout !! ... There is a Pub / nightclub downstairs next door, they kept our 4 year old awake with loud laughing and banter, till 23:30. but all in all, we had a great time. Would return.

Excellent Value

Nothing to report

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Cheap and cheerful, no complaints

Catering staff in the breakfast room were very pleasant. Breakfast was fine.

Very basic. Shabby. Foul water fall pipe ran through the room and there was loud noise every time others in the hotel used their bathroom. This noise went on all through the night. Would be very surprised if that room meets building regulations. Also, no account taken of special requests on the form. Proprieter said they didn't see them.

The staff were very friendly and willing to accommodate our needs without hesitation. The breakfast with the hotel room cost was a steal.

Views over to the sea.

Although bed linen and towels very clean and white, bed old stained and plastic cover even stained with blood was not very inviting.

Excellent location - and cheap. Friendly staff, nice breakfast with not-so- smart staff, great location. Really great location at the famous Leas close to the nice harbour area. Did I mention the really nice location? The hotel itself is ... let's be honest, connected to the low price. But ... you are at The Leas!

One of the elavators has an inner door with a very, very nervous, annoing alarm sound if not closed properly in five seconds. If you have a room close to this elevator, good luck for a good sleep!

Everything about the hotel and staff

Good breakfast,

Hotel popular with noisy & uncouth bikers. Staff congregating outside front of hotel smoking.

The location.

If I can't complain what's the point of asking the question!!!!

I have stayed at the SouthCliff Hotel before. I really like being near the beach the Lea's and the town centre which this hotel does all three. The hotel staff are really friendly and there is plenty to eat at breakfast. All in all a good over night stay at a good price.

No hair dryer in the room and they use powdered milk.

For the price, the hotel is great, if a little dated. We used it as a stopover before a channel tunnel crossing the next morning, and for this purpose it was excellent. Be wary of the bar next door - the late night saturday revellers don't leave until pretty late, so if its an early bedtime you want maybe you should reconsider!
