Excellent staff committed to ensuring that the Cliff Hotel is one of the best three star hotels. Consistently good over a number of visits I have made.
The staff was excellent could not do enough we been there 3 years on the trot and was recognised bye staff was a loverly stay and devo comming back thank you as it was my birthday week and devo enjoyed
I come here regularly and find that the standard is consistently good. The refurbished bedrooms have been done well.
This is one of the best three star hotels. The reception is however five star in its
treatment of guests.
My 90 year old Mum and I stayed for one night while visiting family. The staff were all helpful and friendly. They went out of their way to meet our needs. Super comfy beds and spotlessly clean. Breakfast included speciality coffees and a good menu of choices. The sun shone for us and we enjoyed the outside spaces. We highly recommend this hotel.
Great hotel wright next to beach, with ample parking. Breakfasts good. Bar area more set up for meals, great terrace over looking the sea.
Good Hotel if you just want a beach because not a lot of other pubs about, Taxi into Yarmouth £12.60p. Also no lift in hotel.

Beautiful hotel with lots of history! The room was very clean and well equipped for a weekend stay. The breakfast was excellent and cooked fresh to order.
We have stayed at the Cliff Hotel before a few years ago so knew what to expect.
The food was excellent, staff where very helpful and friendly. Our room was a bit on the small size for a standard double but we did ask for a walk in shower which was provided which might be why we had that room but the bed was massive and very comfortable, had enough room to walk about without knocking into anything but the bathroom needed to be a bit bigger nowhere to put your toiletries. Our room was on the first floor so only had a short flight of stairs to go up but wouldn't have liked to be any higher trying to carry suitcases so think it would help if there was a lift especially for people like ourselves who are in our 70s. Also the carpet on the stairs needs replacing it was a bit threadbare but over all we enjoyed our stay and would go again.

Room spacious, clean and comfortable
Breakfast fantastic and Maggie is very helpful
Reception team helpful
Excellent location. Top floor has a lovely sea and beach view. Reception were friendly and booking in easy. The choice of breakfast was excellent as were the breakfast staff. The only downside was that I booked during the heatwave and there’s no air conditioning in the room. A fan is provided-but in extreme heat air conditioning would’ve been perfect. I recommend this hotel and will return in the future.

We travel to the area regularly to visit family and thought we would give the Cliff a go versus our usual chain hotel choice. Overall our stay was good with a few caveats.
The good bits:
Restaurant was nice with a pleasant atmosphere food good and reasonably priced, bar prices were also very competitive especially for a hotel, room was well appointed and spacious with a huge bed, cleanliness was good overall. The breakfast was very good and hot items are cooked to order.
The not so good:
Sound transmission between rooms is dreadful, some areas of the hotel are a bit tired, an alarm going off intermittently in the early hours was not welcome and ruined our nights sleep. Car parking is limited and on the second night we had to park some distance away on the road.
Would we stay again? Yes possibly but only if we upgraded to a room on the other side of the hotel and at a quieter time when parking is easier.
