“A cheerful, good-value hotel and an excellent base for an overnight stay. The room was compact but had everything I expected, including a double bed. The location is incredible and handy, right between the two piers and a 15-minute walk from the Promenade.”

6.1Verified guest

“The location is great, directly on the seafront. It's in the heart of Blackpool, very close to the Tower, pubs, restaurants, shops, and the central and south piers.”

6.1Verified guest

“We really enjoyed our rooms—very nice and great value for money. It was good to have a flat-screen TV with cable channels, central heating, and an electric kettle. The hotel is centrally located—and the price was a palace compared to what you'd pay elsewhere.”
