Lovely Hotel!

We were very happy and enjoyed our stay, we were made to feel very comfortable by the professional and friendly staff. Our rooms were spotless and so was all of the hotel. The food was excellent quality and very tasty. I'd definitely recommend The West Cliff.

Booked for a birthday trip, left the same night. Walking in from the side entrance felt more like entering a care home than a 4-star hotel — the warm, stale corridor air and stained carpets gave off “neglected institution” vibes. No disrespect to pensioners, but the crowd and scent sealed it. The room was boiling, poorly ventilated, and nowhere near the “stunningly renovated” standard they boast about in the press. Turns out they spent £500k on upgrading 20 out of 83 rooms — so around 75% of guests are still sleeping in 2006. No AC, just a knock-off Dyson-style desk fan that moved less air than a sigh. The mattress was saggy, the air thick, and the room was just not fit for purpose. We asked to check out 6 hours later. The receptionist didn’t know how to process it, so he called the duty manager, who told us to contact Expedia for a refund, gave her name, and said she’d support the complaint. Once we emailed our complaint, she denied saying any of it. After days of going back and forth with Expedia and the hotel, we eventually received a full refund. They claimed they “don’t have the resources” to go back and forth justifying the property. Might be worth redirecting those resources into carpets, airflow, and honesty.

Lovely little hotel. Well appointed rooms and air conditioning was excellent. Staff always attentive and recommended a lovely Indian restaurant nearby. Slight disappointment with the breakfast as only served scrambled eggs with no other options

Great hotel and friendly staff. Only a few things which were minor - room was downstairs and the window was right next to some outdoor seating, so would have been very noisy on a busy afternoon/evening. Had dinner (burger) which was tasty. Unfortunately the bar and outdoor area overlook the pool so we decided against a swim and opted to pay the £15 for the spa visit instead! Parking ok but £10 per 24 hrs so could add up for a longer stay. EV charger would be handy. Room was serviced even though we didn't leave the sign out which was nice but unnecessary (changed our towels even though left on the radiator). Slept well though and it was a spacious room with good shower. Thanks!

We very much enjoyed the upstairs pool, i believe there is a fee for the pool & jacuzzi on lower ground. Restaurant was lovely, polite and helpful staff. Our AC wasnt working properly, even when the gentleman came and fixed it, it wasnt really cool, but not an issue as was quite cool for june. If i were to share some constructive criticism, it would be a lovely touch to have a mini fridge in the deluxe & superior rooms! Finally, we were ever so grateful for the free noon checkout on the Sunday, that was very kind indeed, all in all a wonderful weekend break & I'm positive we will return soon!

Impressed. Room seemed newly updated and was clean and comfortable. Swimming pool was warm and the kids enjoyed it. Breakfast was good though the bacon could have been better cooked, it was a little underdone. Short walk to the beach. Note I parked on the street and now have a car covered in bird droppings so avoid the trees! Will definitely look to book again when we can.

Lovely comfortable bed and room. Very friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble. The indoor pool was very welcome. A good variety at breakfast, however only scrambled eggs were offered. Would like an option for eggs of your choice to be cooked to order. Plenty of parking on site.
