Clifton House Portslade

The room was very spacious with all amenities needed available in the room. The room was exceptionally clean and tidy and the bed was very comfortable. The entire property was very well decorated and the stay was really quiet. The property is also very close to the train station and local pubs and takeaway. We will be staying again

Clean and comfortable

We were in Room 4 on the top floor which was their largest one and had an ensuite bathroom. It was clean with a comfortable bed. We had a small issue with the shower temperature but after reaching out to the House Manager by text, it was repaired quickly while we were out. The only difficulty was parking (as in most areas of Brighton and Hove) but we were lucky to find a space not too far from the guest house. It would be perfect for someone who didn't need to drive - it was a short and convenient walk from Portslade train station.

Portslade, not Hove

Spacious, airy room and nice bed and pillows. Good service- cleaned every day.Room very bare- needs more storage and brightening up. It would have been nice to have tea on the hospitality tray and access to an ironing board and iron. Very close to Portslade Station and bus routes. It was basic, but served a purpose.

I stayed at Clifton House for 3 nights over the Pride weekend after finding hotels in Brighton itself over-priced. Clifton House was a fraction of the price and just a short walk from Preston Park station as well as various bus options to get into Brighton. I stayed in a single room which was a surprisingly good size. It was clean and had a basin, TV, fan, heater and hair dryer and plenty of clothes hanging. The bed was small but very comfortable. I was a little apprehensive about the shared bathroom but it was no problem at all, perfectly clean and was always available when I needed it. Check-in was easy (you receive a text message with instructions on the morning of check-in). Check-out was at 11, again, very easy. I’d certainly have no hesitation staying again.

Excellent property, spacious room!

I booked the room on the top floor with the private bathroom and found it to be very spacious. I'm a budget-conscious business traveller and can't remember the last time I stayed in a room this big. Very soft and comfy bed, great night's sleep! The en-suite bathroom is also a good size with a powerful shower. Everything was clean, worked and in great condition - only saw normal wear and tear. The smart TV was a very welcome addition! Despite being next to a main road, external noise was faint. Internal noise was minimal as well. The level of comfort was way above my expectations! Excellent customer service - a payment issue was resolved promptly and there was clear communication before and during the stay. Overall, I'm very impressed with Clifton House and I'm likely to stay again!

I liked that it was close to the Portslade railways station where there was a direct Southern Line train from Galway airport. The bus ride into Brighton city centre is about 30 minutes. Plenty of bus stops and bus lines nearby but they don't run all night. Look out for the email telling you how to access the room. For me it arrived on the time of checking and I had not seen it before arriving. This caused a little confusion for me, but I got in in the end. Outside the guest house looks not inviting at all, but inside it is well kept and the room is cozy. I had shared bathroom and the bathroom was very clean spacious and it all worked very well.

Would definitely stay here again

Lovely staff who were very friendly, communicative and helpful. Unfortunately I was charged a pre authorisation fee and the full amount was taken out before, even after choosing the option to pay at the hotel upon arrival, with me still having to pay when I had got there. However this was not the hotels fault and I have raised this issue with them. Otherwise the experience at the hotel was good, the room was spot on. Many thanks

Okay, with a couple of caveats.

Generally quite nice, but two very specific complaints. First, the bed was not good. Second, the shower was far too on the first night cold, than far too hot on the second! But clean, well-presented, suitable temperature and free wifi. At this price, don't expect miracles.
