Ardern Hotel - Blackpool

The culinary trip had its highlights! Jacqui's just down the road served killer breakfasts, while Stevonia Fish & Chips was a tasty treat too. Those fresh fruits from the nearby market were a good find!

The hotel was awful. Absolutely not as advertised. The ceiling was peeling away, rooms were dirty, and the owner was hostile. Multiple guests left due to the conditions, and we couldn't even eat in our room with no communal space available!

Polite staff, tidy and compact rooms with separate toilets. Marvellous location, 10 minutes' walk to a famous Victorian entertainment complex. Also - next to The Ardern, the main promenade and Blackpool.

The breakfast is served in the bar!

The warm welcome from Christine made a great first impression. The breakfast each morning was good. The room, although small, had a comfy bed, made sleeping easy. The decor left much to be desired. It felt outdated and not as clean as I had hoped. The bathroom could definitely use some updates-shower doors were broken. I encountered issues with the water being turned off before checkout, quite frustrating. Communication could also improve, as there were moments when staff seemed a bit overwhelmed and not very approachable. While there are some gems here, improvements in maintenance and customer service would enhance the experience significantly.

There were an ironing set, tea/coffee making equipment and a TV set in the rooms, which made them neat. The property was in the centre of the city.

The place was pleasant, we enjoyed it.

The only possible highlight was the location, as it's central and easy to get to attractions.

The room was musty, with dampness and mold all around, including the bedding and furniture. Upon arrival, wet paint issues made the bathroom unusable, and the overall cleanliness was severely lacking, with odd items strewn throughout-think old shoes and paint cans. Several maintenance issues stood out like live wires hanging from the walls and a broken shower head that fell during use. Also alarming were the random fire extinguishers and taped-up fire alarms that raised serious safety concerns.

It all depends on your needs

An excellent location near the town center and a very friendly owner, who is always ready to assist guests with any needs.

The lack of hot water and heating made it quite uncomfortable, leading to disappointing experiences.

The breakfast offered was fresh and well-prepared, which definitely made starting the day much more enjoyable. The quirky decor throughout the space gave it a unique character that's hard to find elsewhere.

The state of the rooms left much to be desired, peeling paint and odd stains were noticeable everywhere, especially in the bathrooms with showers that were often obstructed or poorly functioning. The layout of the rooms felt cramped and cluttered, with strange uninvited items like outdated appliances just sitting around. Overall cleanliness, especially within the bathrooms, was questionable, with evidence of previous guests still lingering. There were distinct maintenance issues too, like doors not closing properly and unsteady fixtures that raised safety concerns.

The comfy bed was a highlight during my stay! On the downside, the shower had mould and the room was noisy due to external street light. 😅

All good, fulfills its purpose. Room amenities are well thought out. Each morning, we enjoyed a good breakfast to start our day!

Surprisingly Pleasant Getaway!

Despite initial worries from reviews, my stay turned out good. The cleanliness of the room exceeded my expectations, especially for such an affordable price. I appreciated the well-equipped amenities in my Twin Room. For future guests, a great tip is to check the Wi-Fi signal in advance.

Excellent hotel with amenities like free Wi-Fi, a tv, and a children's play area. I remember my first stay when the staff helped me with a bottle of water at night. I recommend it for a worry-free holiday.

It was just a balanced option for a transient stop in Blackpool with good value. The room was perfectly clean and had a fantastic little ensuite with a great shower. Check if you need any extra towels upfront for convenience.

Clean room with nice tv and electric kettle. No hot water at times.
