I liked the friendliness of the host: the location (opposite south pier) & the room(sea view). The hotelier was very kind & on seeing how lame I am, gave ma a room on a lower floor. I would happily stay there again. There was confusion reaching the hotel because a rival, calling itself the Sands Venue, is under construction & the name is so close to the Sands that I can imagine other future guests getting confused. The upstart venue should be made to change its name

We stayed over at the weekend, great room for the price. Big enough for my family of 4. Room was clean & fresh bedding & towels available along with a kettle & tea & coffee facilities. Only downside was our eldest was gutted the tv had no signal - not a bad thing though really. Would return in the future.

I liked my room 4, lovely seaview room so great views and looks right onto the south pier, all rooms are shower only; lovely lady Claire - nice to meet you Claire. Plenty places to eat nearby hotel, had a nice lunch at Wetherspoons which has plenty spaces to eat, some tables on the rooftop. The hotel does not have any meals but that was OK; hotel is spoilt for transport options with tram stops and bus stops right opposite and now you can get a tram direct from Blackpool North Station to either up north or down south. Some guests may not like the bingo games from the south pier as you can hear it from the room, starts around 10am till 10pm, though I quite enjoyed hearing it. Lovely being there for the switch-on of lights, my first time and also my first time staying down south, I'm usually up north. A lively area whereas up north is quieter. Very reasonable to stay at this hotel too. Will return soon!

This is not a hotel where you would want to stay for either a short or long holida….it’s something else entirely, and frankly, I’m surprised such a place still exists in the UK. It’s disappointing to see such a lack of standards in the hospitality industry. To be fair, we were a group of five (2 adults and 3 kids), so perhaps others may have a different experience. However, aside from a place to sleep, this hotel has absolutely nothing to offer. I am truly at a loss for words to express just how let down I am. The only redeeming quality of this hotel is its convenient location next to Pleasure Beach and directly opposite South Pier. Highly not recommend it, pay a bit more and get a decent hotel in this area.

Doesnt look much from outside but nice inside, good value for money and close to everything we needed

On arrival we were greeted with a dirty pair of pants in the bathroom. The tap in bathroom was stiff and wouldn’t turn off properly the shower was awful no power and smallest shower head possible was told there was toiletries but there isn’t as only on a 1 night stay took none luckily a spar round the corner. The room itself was dusty & very hot then to complete it all in the morning turned on tv for my little niece to watch but didn’t work. Plus point il never have to go to this cesspit agai.

Friendly greeting when we arrived. Only a couple of small issues, the shower door was broken so we couldn't use the shower properly, but it was sufficient for the kids to wash off the sea water from their legs. The only other issue is that we booked a family room, which was on the top floor, I'm just glad our kids are older and didn't need carried up all the stairs. But that's not an issue with the hotel, just a mild inconvenience. Room was tidy, well insulated windows drowned out the sound of the pier at night, keycard access to allow you to come and go as needed. It seems like the building is getting upgraded and worked on, good luck to the proprietor with the works.

We stayed over the weekend in the family room The lady who greeted us was very nice and showed us to our room The room was basic but clean Could do with another pillow each, blackout or darker curtains as the light flooded in at 5am and a bathroom mirror for shaving Other than that the room was okay Tea and coffee making facilities Seagulls very noisy ( not the hotels fault though ) Location was great and really close to everything Owner doesn’t live on site but gave us a number should we need her which was fine

Stayed on 6/4/24 one night Very basic, TV with no remote, no smoke alarms present in the building, no WiFi due to building work, room was clean but got cold through the night, no heat from radiator Curtains were coming off the rails. This was a cheap deal so I suppose you just get basic.

AVOID walked in and was met by building materials in the reception area. And the owner manager in pyjamas. The room was dirty. Top drawer of unit was like a used ashtray. Paper peeling off the ceiling and bathroom walls. Cobwebs all over bathroom walls. Rusty shower head holder and dirty shower cubicle. Had no working lamp and only 1 bedside cabinet. The wardrobe had bits of blue tack and what looked like chewing gum too.all stuck down one side.was told TV remote was broken and they hadn't replaced so had to spend 10inutes stood looking through channels finding something to watch using buttons on TV. Hospitality tray had 4 t bags 6 sugar and 6 milk in a double room and No coffee at all (I dnt drink tea). Was looked at like I'd asked for the world when I asked for more.with wasn't there any there as the comment manager made.Kettle stopped working so phoned to ask for replacement to get told there was no one to help as she was out and if I didn't' like having to wait till she came back to property I could always get in my van and go Home. As apparently it's an unmanned hotel ?? Went to get the iron and board off the wall holder in the hallway to have it all fall off the wall onto me it pulled wall plugs out as we're not correct fixings for stud walling.iron landed on my foot.thankfully it was a small travel iron type thing so was just left with a bruise and pain when i put shoes on later.no breaks. The room was cold as heating wasn't on long enough to make a difference AVOID.

I understand this is a "budget" hotel but...Certainly not as advertised online. It is very very "drab". The television didn't work, no signal at all, constant dripping tap Grubby grey towels, no toilet brush, no hand soap, no coffee in the tea caddy, nobody around when you need them. They advertise politely that you respect there are children living there and to be quiet between certain hours. The said children were actually the ones to keep us awake and woke us early in the morning by running up and down, shouting and banging up above us. Luckily, we just needed somewhere to rest our heads...it certainly was not restful but we were knackered. Will definitely not be returning

Holey towels that were like sandpaper. Ceiling sagging in bathroom. Bed too small. Outdated. Had to put kettle on floor to boil. Slow to let us in, standing outside in pouring rain waiting on a reply to doorbell. Temperature in room was good though. Glad it was only 1 night. Not value for money
