Me and my partner booked The Princess Hotel to celebrate our anniversary. When the sat nav confirmed that we'd reached our destination, we had to laugh, it was like something off a horror film. We pulled into the car park that was advertised as being very secure, which is definitely not true, anybody could just walk in and damage your... More

I don't know if this is what we are to expected in Blackpool, but this is not by any stretch of the imagination a 4* hotel. The owner was friendly, and the position was good, the food was fine for the price and served in a friendly manner. Plenty of car parking spaces (unusual for Blackpool). But that is where... More

Lovely owners unfortunately marketing an uncompleted product. Bland , plaster patches throughout. Rooms so small we had to move the bed to close the bathroom door. Decorated on a very small to non existant budget I feel the 4 stars were assessed by a blind man. If this is the accepted four star standard in blackpool I have lost my... More

We too booked this"Hotel" for The Open but so dingy and unpleasant was it that I refused to stay there and we found a room next door which was clean, comfortable inviting and half the price! £80 for a double room is a horrendous, outrageous price for Blackpool. It is NOT a 4 star it is beneath rating. We were... More

The Princess is a bed and breakfast, not a hotel, there is no dinner served and the bar is small and not always open. There are no facilities really, a pool table and an occasional bar. The rooms are small but comfortable but the bathroom is tiny. The breakfast was excellent, well cooked to order and delicious. The owners are... More
