8.2Verified guest“Spotless throughout, with well organised and incredibly helpful staff. The sea view was worth every penny—the room was tastefully decorated, brand-new and had a comfortable bed. The English breakfast offered plenty of food, and the location is ideal in a very nice area, a short walk from the town centre and the illuminations. The restaurant is excellent, and it's a 10-minute walk to the Wave Project.”
8.2Verified guest“Nothing was too much trouble. I had an excellent weekend stay—the hotel was fairly clean, the room modern and compact, and the staff pleasant and helpful.”

8.2Verified guest“Clean hotel in a lovely building, not far from the bars and Blackpool itself. A brilliant property in an incredible seafront setting—for tea or coffee, visit Queens Café nearby. My room was cheap, bright and had a large bed that opened to a window, and the staff were exceptional. Friendly check-in, generally good service, and a late checkout.”
