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.

Hotel Horror
Not a very nice hotel run by people not experienced in hotel management, rooms dated poor décor
dave, 1-night trip

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.

Never Again!
this was a terrible place, stayed 4 days and got covered in bites from the bed bug infested dirty bed. place is dirty, outdated and needs a complete overhaul to be even satisfactory.

Basic
It was very basic but not athsteticly pleasing not comfy. The shower was absolutely filthy and un-usable.

Super Budget Friendly Hotel
The couple who worked there were lovely, couldnt fault them at all. For a SUPER budget hotel the amenities in the room were surprising. Free tea and coffee and a kettle, a TV. Soap, towels, were all really unexpected but a great addition. Location is brilliant, just off the main centre so quiet enough to be just outside the action for a quiet nights sleep (as long as the people in the rooms next to you SHUT UP!) Over all, pleasant for £17 a night. The ONLY thing I would say is watch out for bed bugs :'( we found one and a few blood stains on the bedding. (Id sleep in a bin bag it doesnt bother me) But for those who are precious about this, just be aware :) The matress was a bit hard too but like I said, 17 im not expecting a cloud.

2/10 Poor

Dont stay until you read.
the shared shower was filthy and would of taken well over an hour of cleaning to get it up to any standard of use. Also there was no sink to wash your hands after using toilet so your hands would remain unwashed until you got back to your room. the bannisters couldn't possibly be sanitised as all guests would have had to use it with unwashed hands after toilet. Nasty.
