Comfiest bed ever!

Definitely one of those where you get what you pay for. Cheap and cheerful. Definitely needs a good tidy up in terms of decoration but was clean hygiene wise and honestly the comfiest bed I’ve stayed in in a while.

6/10 Good

For £20 for me and a m8 for one night you can't complain really, but they need to get new beds or mattresses, they were bloody torture, I didn't get much sleep.

2/10 Poor

Located in a good spot, but the major problem we had was the mattress was so worn out that it was unsleepable we booked a different room in a different hotel just so we could get a decent sleep.. The room we had was right at the top of the building, the second issue was the room that we had. Didn’t have any working heating or windows that lock so the room was like a freezer.

This place is disgusting and we want a refund,black mold on the walls,filthy carpets and walls,bare wires everywere,everything is the cheapest of the cheap, dog hsirs everywere of their dog,refuse,faeces and every other kind of waste strewn around the property..it shoukd be knocked down its that bad

8/10 Very good

Despite not being able to reach this hotel by phone the new landlady was very nice and helpful. Room was adequate for our one night stay and beds comfy. Clean towels provided and tea making facilities (though our kettle didnt work). It was clean but there was no breakfast as stated on the booking and she was waiting for her bar licence to come through so not available for our stay. Only 6 min drive to Pleasure Beach which was our reason for visiting Blackpool.
