we have stayed here on several occasions now and the last couple have been disappointing due to the loud music coming from the bar area in the basement. On the first couple of visit this could not be heard but it seems that the volume has been increased. Why? My i suggest that you turn it down a bit as you will be aware there will be guests who just wish to SLEEP and not heard the noise from the basement. Shame to have to moan, but if you are not told then nothing CAN BE DONE ABOUT!!!

Room 27
The staff were as welcoming as always and you feel at ease. The only two small issues where one being that the evenings entertainment went on to long at such a high volume, which meant i could everything clearly without even being in the basement. The other one was that they toilet is located in the worst possible place, it needs turning 90 degrees so that it can be used in comfort.

The hotel was very disappointing. The staff weren't very welcoming and didn't even acknowledge our existence. Even the cleaners were ignorant (except one foreign lady that was very nice and polite). The hotel was old very dated and untidy. The room was dirty. The walls were paper thin and could here next door talking and coughing up phlem every morning. The rooms were not cleaned the whole time were were there, apart from the bin being emptied. I stayed there for 4 long sleepless nights.

It was cold, noisy & very dirty with blood stains on the bed sheets and damp in/around the window. no one is at the front desk when you need, no alcohol. The owner seems like a nice man but doesn’t seem to care about the hotel itself, he left a big bucket for a leak in the stair way that is a trip hazard, it just wasn’t a good experience

A budget hotel in a great location right behind the Blackpool Tower. The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was clean and adequate. The only thing I didn't like was the TV which was small and didn't have a good picture but I wasn't in the room much so it wasn't a huge issue. I would stay here again.

Great value for money
£35 for 1 night on a Friday is a bargain. Room was clean and unlike other hotels in Blackpool, the hotel didn’t have a wallpapered bathroom haha. Beds weren’t massively comfy but for the price we can’t moan. Room 2 the windows don’t close properly so was draughty, but regardless I would stop again.

Arrived very nice chap on the reception but because it said bar he said they didnt serve alcohol but to be fair he did say we could bring our own drinks in Lift 1980s 3 people max scary old thing Whislt in room sounded like a rave glu5ng on in the next room the walls are like paper could hear then talking clear as a bell During night a boiler or something pipes was in the roof above us it kept turning on and off with a loud droaning and rumbling so had a horrendous sleep Service good but would definately not stay again I'd pap a little bit extra for a decent sleep

oak leave more like
Paid £80.00 a night to stay here ....wish I had paid £80.00 not to stay, bed sheets or towels not changed in 4 days ...windows locked shut when we left the room, unlocked and open when we got Back, tea making facilities in the room just no tea, coffee or milk, no bacon in the breakfast you pay extra for on top of your 80.00 a night. Parking is only a 5 min walk and the bar was shut every evening......lots of cheaper hotels in the area that look like they have a working bar and bacon in the free breakfast.

Although the room was big and warm the breakfast was cold and the shower was not only dirty but also very cold when i complained about it the owner didn't like it . IF YOU want to have a shower there then i would suggest that you take some shower descaller with you I was very disappointed with my stay there even my son didn't like it .

Over night stay
Lovely place to rest your head. Family room has 2 single beds and a double, which is so much better than bunk beds. Short walk to coral island. Making it a good location. Beds comfortable and each had a towel with shampoo & soap on them.
