First time guests who engage with these Clifton Hotels will notice the uniqueness of this hospitality offering, in more ways than one. As a reviewer of all things digital, my first impression was a lasting one. Embattled as the industry is getting in between third party distribution dealings and the lonely innkeeper out there in the wilds, it’s impossible not to note Clifton’s appeal. The hotels state bluntly:
“…By booking directly through us you are not only guaranteed to get our best rate but also a personalized reservation specifically tailored to meet your every need. Aiming to meet your individual budget and personality we have plenty to offer as well as many perks for our returning guests with loyalty schemes, monthly newsletters and more.”

I don’t know about you, but I admire an independent that dumps the TripAdvisor spyglasses, sinks their own money into engaging via social channels, and proudly offers up value the old fashioned way too. Clifton’s one of those rare examples of an independent chain making its way without forking over 30% of the gross to a middleman. Look at the Twitter engagement below. While Clifton may not have 5000 followers, the ones engaged are in a conversation.

Take your Bristol romantic getaway indoors, dining at the hotels superb restaurant, or venture out to see one of England’s most picturesque cities.
Then there’s the Clifton (see cafe top), another central Bristol boutique set amid all that is lively in town.
