Blackpool Hotels > Guesthouse Blackpool Hotels

Brilliant for those on a tight budget.

Advantages: Affordable prices, friendly owners, location, family friendly
Disadvantages: Quality of tea and coffee on complimentary drinks tray

...main reasons I chose the Phoenix Guest House over other possibilities were the price, location, whether ensuite rooms were available and whether children were welcome as guests. I shall talk about these points later in my review. The booking process was very straight forward as anyone who has used activehotels.com will know. You simply enter the dates you wish to stay (in my case this was the last week of July) and rooms which are available for ...
...all the rooms at the Phoenix are ensuite, some are only partial en suite with a shower located in the room but the toilet being a shared facility. After my booking was made I recieved an email a few days later from the owners confirming my booking and informing me that a £40 deposit would be taken from my method of payment at the time of making the reservation. The email also provided other useful information, such as the location of the guest house, ...

Review of Phoenix Guest House, Blackpool

very impressed

Advantages: excellent rooms, amazing views, very decently priced
Disadvantages: sometimes had to shuffle cars

in my opinion this is possibly one of the best locations near blackpool, it is located in the small town of cleveleys which is a few miles to the north of blackpool and is serviced by both trams and buses to the city center. the apartments are idealy located being directly on the promonade over looking the sea (two of the three apartments overlook the sea). we were very impressed as the rooms were ready 2 hours before the stated time and we were ...
...enter the town for items to eat before the room was ready the layout of the appartment was with the door opening direcly into the living room which had two single seater chairs and a sofabed, this then had doors into the kitchen and living room, the kitchen was all electric and had a coin meter for power, the bedroom contains a double and a singlebed and leads into an on-suite shower room. to the front of the living room (apartment 2) was a large ...

Review of Seahawk Apartments, Cleveleys

The imperial Hotel Blackpool is the place for me

Advantages: Good hotel . Nice location
Disadvantages: Bit Expensive for there bar prices.

I am writing to recomend the Imperial Hotel Blackpool as a place to stay. I had a great time there on my birthday. In my opinion the staff there was very friendly and helpfull. The food was very good. The breakfast in my opinion was the best bit. As it was help yourself you could have as much as you want are as little as you need. If you are into keep fit the gym was good and the staff was there t help you if you needed any advice. The bedrooms was ...
...think that it`s one f the best places to stop. It must be good as the labour party stopped there for the conference. Who knows you could have slept in the same bed as Gordon Brown.The only bad point was i that i found money under the bed which goes to show the cleaners where not up to there jobs. But in one way it was money in mine. ...

Review of The Imperial Hotel Blackpool, Blackpool

The strangest hotel I have ever been to

Advantages: Close to Blackpool Pier, onsite restaurant
Disadvantages: Poor food quality, terrible entertainment, no wheelchair access

Liberty's on the Square is an odd mixture of a nightclub/hotel/rabbit warren/saga venue. This is one hotel with an identity crisis. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone; it is marketed as a Saga hotel, yet in my opinion, is completely unsuitable for the elderly due to access issues and the seedy, inappropriate entertainment. ENTERTAINMENT The inappropriate entertainment for the audience of 60+ers and young families was terrible. The entertainment ...
...rude and not funny comedian (I am not a prude, but his jokes were not funny and it was obvious his idea of humour was to be as smutty and insulting as possible). He told what I found to be offensive jokes containing very vulgar language and picked on several people throughout his act making personal remarks about their appearance. I was lucky to escape such ridicule, however I felt dreadfully sorry for the individuals who were targeted. The next ...

Review of Liberty'S On The Square, Blackpool

Contender for Worst Hotel 2009

Advantages: Centre of Blackpool, cheap, inside entertainment.
Disadvantages: Overbearing staff, smelly rooms, pre-made food.

Layout and Appearance The hotel, from the outside, looked like any other hotel, if not a bit bleak looking. The car park was NOT very well laid out, half of the spaces where against the wall so you could be blocked in, so it was a good job our friends parked behind us then we knew who the occupier was and they could let us out on checkout! Once inside I had to think to myself, is this the hotel or a pole dancing bar? It looked so seedy. I then had ...
...barely a metre wide, down 3 sets of small stairways just to reach reception. Once in our room a damp, foisty smell hit me. Other than that, it had everything we needed, they had helpfully rented us in a travelcot at no extra cost, and everything was clean, if not old fashioned. The bathroom smelt of urine which you HAD to get used too, but was clean and had fresh towels. The windowsill was also covered in mould and damp. The restaurant and bar areas ...
