    Nothing wrong at all with the Lyndene. Good breakfast, friendly staff and reasonably priced..

    I stayed at the Lyndene almost, if not the exact same time day as you.
    I had a cracking time at the Lyndene.
    First let me point out that there is parking on both streets at the side with no restrictions and also further behind should you struggle.
    We were in our room straight away but they also have an option to retain your bags if the room is not ready and will put them in your room ready for when you come back.
    The hotel was actually at capaicity I believe in the week you stayed and I think they went above and beyond.for us as guests.
    Our room was factastic, Room 2 and with an amazing buffet style breakfast included in our room.
    we watched some incredibly brilliant live acts such as Ce Ce Monsoon and Ray does a brilliant live organ act.
    Nothing is too much trouble here

    Supposed to be coming down soon as did St. Chad's hotel next door (both owned by foreign company) Making way for a 4 storey super hotel, linked by a bridge over the road that would join the two into one, gaining access from both roads via the bridge.

    £30 a night for two! That's very good value. Never stayed but walk past it on a regular basis. They have very good live internment at night. Unfortunately as you have shown, the building is very dated and needs to be knocked down and rebuilt. Like someone else in these comments have said, once the new St Chad's Hotel next door is built, the Lyndene will be knocked down and rebuilt. But there is no sign of any building going on at St Chad's so who knows when that will be rebuilt, let alone the Lyndene. The Lyndene is a very popular hotel and very good value, let's hope the new Lyndene won't be too expensive xxx

    Absolute shit hole with obnoxious reception staff , my car was blocked in for 4x hours on/after checkout and they tried to scam us for the parking charges .
    That was a good room we had a king size room i could reach both (peeling and damp) walls at once directly above a noisy outside bar area .
    Gotta say the public areas were very nice but not the rooms

    The company which owns the Lyndene also owned St Chads (the blank space on the next block). My understanding is that they were going to build a new hotel where St Chads was. Once that is opened, they will demolish the Lyndene and build a new hotel on that site as well. That was the plan around a year or two back but I am unsure if this has changed since.

    Jesus that's fairly decent room for Blackpool If you want the luxury go to the hilton. But to be fair thats one of the nicest iv seen tbf, find a hotel without a maze of stairs that's just how Blackpools built. I'd give that room 9//10 and I pmsl when you said it was only £30 that's just bumped it up to 10 for me iv paid double that and got a single room with bump bed and no bathroom! Calm down dear
