    Nothing to dislike! My room was at the top of the house so it was hot in this current sunny weather, but an efficient electric fan was provided so no problem.

    High standard room with regard to decor and facilities so it was easy to forget that The Clifton is a bed and breakfast establishment, rather than a hotel. Good choice at breakfast, which was served quickly. I appreciated the electric fan in my room in the hot weather. Friendly, helpful staff. Thank you for the help with my case. Good location, midway between beach and metro. Close to parks and leisure centre too. Just under a mile stroll to ferry to North Shields.

    The staff and breakfast were fabulous. I had a single room which was quite small but had a good sized shower and everything that I needed. I have stayed here quite a few times and have always had a warm welcome. Nothing is too much trouble and I can totally recommend for a visit to South Shields.

    Has I've said about everything the hotel and south shields the bars, pubs were very friendly well worth a visit if you have never been and I would recommend the clifton.

    The clifton is every thing you wish for when booking hotel /guess house, great position for bars restaurants shops, also the beach and parks and parking, the staff were polite, friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them, the room was spotless and the bed very comfortable and not forgetting the breakfast you had a great choice, I had the full English 😋 this was the second time I've started and booked again for December . PS no I'm nothing to do with the clifton and I would recommend it 100 % to family and friends.

    Like a previous guest’s experience, our room was cleaned when the do not disturb sign was on the door and we were eating breakfast. This annoyed me as I didn’t want anyone in our room. Then, when we got back from breakfast, a cleaner just let herself into our room! No idea why! The second morning, a cleaner was knocking on our door while we were packing up. Check out was 10am so at least wait until then before trying to get into rooms!

    Handy town centre location.

    A surcharge on certain breakfast dishes, the dish I had certainly would not have exceeded the cost of the full English that I had the day before and there was no charge! Seemed very odd to be presented with a bill!

    The majority of the staff were exceptional. So clean and comfortable, just lovely
