We stayed in this hotel a few weeks back and liked it too. Hamptons are classed as 3 star and are basically Hiltons version of Premier Inns. They are supposed to be a step down from actual Hiltons but in many cases the standards are much better. I love staying in them!
I was going to stay here but IMMEDIATELY cancelled my reservation when Tim dropped the bombshell that the toilet paper isn’t folded to a point! What kind of prison are these people running anyway?
Next I'd love to see you review some YHA's. People have such misconceptions about them but we've stayed at some gorgeous places. Basic, but private en suite rooms and stuff for kiddos. Our favourites have been the YHA next to Whitby Abbey and Ilam Hall near Alton Towers in the Peak District.
Nice to see face down cups in this one! The better hotels will pretty much always do it. Worked many years in hotels and been a GM, then a PA to the Managing director and I really appreciate all the small touches. A good housekeeping team is really what keeps a hotel going.
From previous over night stays as a kid I always remembered Blackpool accommodation being a mixture of 80s carpets, depressing mix of wall papers and net curtains. But the Hampton from Hilton offers a new fresh modern experience in staying in Blackpool. It would be good to see if other Hampton by Hilton hotels offer the same high standards, especially in the big cities such as London. Yet another really helpful and insightful review 👏
I'd say most accommodation providers in Blackpool are still a mixture of 80's carpet, depressing mix of wall paper and net curtains., Having stayed in a few Hamptons including this one, Their generally the same across the brand.
Stayed in York Hampton and found it really good, I love how you can check in on the app and pick your room so I picked top floor corner room which gave you and extra window and a decent view over the city! Decent breakfast too!
I go to Blackpool alot. Not many especially who aren't from Blackpool will know but it's a fairly newly built hotel. It was only opened in the last 4 or 5 years and was then extended which you can see by the change in colour to the brickwork on the outside which is why everything looks shiny and new inside.
I have not been to Blackpool yet myself, I grew up going to Great Yarmouth but Blackpool definitely needs to be on the list and perhaps this just may be where we choose to stay! Thanks for the great vid Tim.
I just stayed in an Hampton by Hilton in Nashville, TN. It was excellent! Clean, well lit, spacious, good free breakfast and great hospitality. I will for sure stay there if I go back.
By far one of the better hotels you've stayed in in the UK. The attention to detail, depicted by the local scenes not only around the hotel but by each door speaks volumes. My only immediate concern was, with the sun streaming it, it could be very hot in there during that summer day we have during August. But I then saw that it does have an aircon grill near the door, so... As for seeing the beds from outside, very poor. Makes it look like a cheap hostel.
Hampton by Hilton rates always include breakfast. With that in mind, I once booked the Hampton in Glasgow. That night I was attending a travel industry function (at the Doubletree by Hilton!) and the Hampton was a short stagger away. Unfortunately I extracted myself from bed the next morning just in time to get to the breakfast buffet before it closed. Note to self: never expect a great selection, or in fact a high quality of food, just as they are closing the restaurant. Fabulous hotels though.
I stayed at a Hampton by Hilton quite a few years ago in Birmingham, it was absolutely spotless! even the carpets felt almost new. It must have been refurbished not long before but it was as lovely, the tv was the same size as the one at home. It’s the only kind of chain hotel I’ve been in and it was a pleasant surprise of how nice it was.
Hello Tim,this looks amazing to stay, everything is clean,and when the sun is out I like how it shines in the room.breakfast is nice,i say £175 for the night.
Looks like a nice hotel especially on the inside. I would love that room. The free complimentary breakfast looked good especially make your own waffles!
Mr Tim, try a Premier + Balcony room in Bournemouth Central, the building is a very grand 1930's art Deco hotel that has been converted into a Premier Inn, and is opposite The Royal Bath Hotel that you stayed in a while back.
Tim, Not sure if you've covered this yet but either: Ibis Hotel - Birmingham International (Not been to yet but will in september) Premier Inn - Birmingham NEC (Standard) - i was there for insonmia gaming festival I70 in april and other than the USB port on bedside wasn't great it got fixed and the tv not great for PC Connection and no smart feature. it was alright.
I can honestly say I bloody love this hotel! The place is beautifully decorated, the rooms are comfy, clean and massive. I love the breakfast, the food is fabulous in the restaurant. The staff know me now 🤣
Hi Tim, great vid as usual! Love Hampton by Hilton although the service and standards do vary from hotel to hotel! I’m guessing £79.00 for a midweek stay!👍😊👏👏❤️
I stayed in a Hampton by Hilton in Blackburn and it was even nicer than this one looked. Not monotone, quite chic almost in some parts. I'd recommend checking that one out.
I like these hotels, and used to use the one at Liverpool Airport lot, and greatly appreciated the included breakfast. Living in Panama now, we have stayed at a Hampton by Hilton in the town of David. It was just like one in the UK, but their version of the cooked breakfast just didn't match that in the UK. I always applied the "sausage test" to hotel breakfasts, but you can't get "proper" sausages here - just chorizo...
Just had a peek at the price for a 1 night stay at this Hotel on Google. Price that came up stated £68.00 for Thursday 18 May, £95.00 for Friday 19 May and £137.00 for Saturday 20 May. Price obviously going up after Thursday and into the weekend but comes back down to £68.00 on Sunday. They seem to have a different price range for each day.
Living in the US is such a rip-off. That room in my US city (not at the beach) on a weekday would be $200/night with tax added on a weeknight (£160). A weekend night would be $230/night (£185). Oceanfront with a view add at least $50/night (£40). Pay anything under that and risk sleeping with roaches and/or the sound of gunshots in the middle of the night.
I’ve stayed at that hotel several times since it opened. I like that fact that it’s away from the centre of Blackpool, but there’s a tram stop nearby. I also use one of the other Hilton types, Doubletree by Hilton. I’ve never had a problem with any of them, and would recommend them.
I'm planning a weekend in blackpool for August and i looked at this hotel and even though I'm on a budget and i haven't quite made my mind up yet and short of booking a travel lodge I'm quite impressed 😊
Hi Tim, thanks to your video we have booked the Hampton by Hilton hotel at Blackpool and it’s great! Just arrived and it’s exactly like you said, gonna go to Yorkshire fisheries for tea as well. Keep up the good work lad 👍
Woodhouse farm Hotel in spalding. It has a small swimming pool. The kings deluxe room is very nice. We payed 115.00 per night not included breakfast. But breakfast is £9.95 each. Food is very good.
Well I was pleasantly surprised with this Hamilton Hotel I hadn't heard of Hamilton Hotels before. I thought it was going to be awful when you looked at it from the outside with the beds & curtains by the windows it did look abit tatty. But from the moment you walked in I thought it looked fine! I like the little photos of Blackpool by the room Numbers that shows abit of thought to design! The colours were nice & neutral the sunshine really was lovely! I liked the furniture in your room neutral & modern & not chipped or worn. Everything looked fairly new. Shame about the stain on that velvet chair but it was only a one off it would of only needed abit of a scrub to get rid of that stain. But having said that... The cleaning was first class very good cleaners. All polished to perfection! It's a shame the bed wasn't the best so you didn't have a 100%best night's sleep. The kettle looked brand new! And the Bathroom, well I would want that Bathroom! The shower head was the cleanest one I've ever seen! And the shower base, Taps Mirrors everything absolutely sparkling! In fact I would like to live in that Hotel🤣 It didn't have the awful stinky Air Conditioning Vents like most Premier Inns have & Travel Lodges. I hate those Air Conditioning Vents! I couldn't locate a Radiator, but there must of been some sort of Heating in your Room. Love the pictures of Blackpool on the walls. And as you say Tim spotlessly clean walls too! The safe in the room is a good idea in a basic hotel too! Shame about the TV remote not working! But overall the room was very good👌 The breakfast looked very appealing especially the make your own Waffles! I would of loved that, it's quite a novelty with all the Breakfast included in the price. And a lovely restaurant/cafe area to sit in the Sunshine eating & drinking! What was the Bar like? Im taking a guess that the price for 1 night in this Hamilton Hotel would be £105. And that might be guessing a little on the cheap side! I'm watching your vlog on Dubai again now it's just started😁
🦘🌻🦘Hey Tim Hopefully in 2024, Il visit Blackpool, whilst I’m on my hols in the uk. I live in Western Australia 🦘 I think I would look at staying here I like how clean it looks. Breaky looked ok too. I think it cost £99 ? Love your Channel 🦘🌻🦘💕
Hi tim i have stayed in a hampton and not yet hilton hotel it didnt wow factor me it was ok anyway thanks your videos are brilliant as allways looking 4ward 2 next one thanks tim have a good week
Shame it doesn't have more seaside or Blackpool decoration or themes but looked like a very clean crisp hotel, outside looks like flats you would find on the train into London. I think it cost £97 per night if it was a weekday. Thanks for sharing as always!
looks a nice hotel and good for us to see how others compare with premier inn which is our preference if we stay anywhere for a night which isnt very often. We are staying at novotel at birmingham airport soon for first time chosen as terminal departures is just across the road
Looks nice and tidy, but the location isn't ideal (unless you're going to the pleasure beach). I'm there next week in the "new" Premierinn. I'll be checking the Kettle 😉
I recently stayed at a Hampton in Portland Oregon near the airport (I am American) on a weekend business trip & the room was as high quality as this one, though the bathrooms were way bigger. Based on this video, it seems to me that there is no difference in terms of quality (which is a good thing) between the US & UK versions of Hampton. The only bad thing about the room I stayed in is that very similar to Tim, the TV remote would not work at all even when the batteries were changed. Luckily the Hampton in Portland recently upgraded the TV's in all of the rooms to smart TV's which can be controlled by an in-room Ipad (which also controls the in room temperature control system & the lights) or by the Hilton Honors app on your phone if the remote isn't working. This is a growing trend in most Hilton branded hotels (at least in the US).
Tim, you have to try a Double Tree by Hilton hotel, i think they are better than the regular hilton hotels, here in Spain is there a lot of Double Tree by Hilton hotel that are "resorts" an the have Spa, Golf course and everything to have a good summer there.
Het Tim , How about staying at one of the newer Village hotels , I'm sure you'll be impressed with the switchable frosted glass panels that separate the bedroom from the bathroom 😀
This looked pretty good to me Tim, if you looked underneath the kettle base you probably would have found the wire was coiled up so you could have just unwound it and plugged it in! Yet again though a hotel charging you to park on their property even though you are a customer, I just don't get it so I would never stay there.
Hi, if you haven't already done so, I recommend you visit the Efteling theme park in the Netherlands. They have a nice hotel with themed rooms and a "sort of" holiday village you can stay in.
I've just come back from staying in the double tree by hilton by dartford bridge. It was great (pool and amenities could have some money thrown at it) but I slept well every night, the food was grand and our room had at least 9 plug sockets!! Not to mention the staff were incredible. I reccomend
I like Hampton Inns by Hilton. These are great for going out of town on quick trips. They’ve been great when we have to make a day trip to a family member’s wedding 🤷🏾♀️
Nice place to stay. This hotel looks more like a regular Hilton hotel (than the Hilton Bournemouth) -- at least based on the few Hilton hotels that I've stayed in. Thanks for the video!
Hi Tim, I recently stopped in the Hilton at the NEC in Birmingham. They charge £14 for parking Having said that. The hotel itself was clean and comfortable. Obviously geared up for professionals, rather than a resort family hotel. Also had a great buffet breakfast. I’m guessing £115 a night, with the complimentary breakfast.
Great video as always Tim, and really liked those full-length windows. Worth it for the view alone. As for the price, I'm reckoning on £70, but think you're going to surprise us - though frustrated having to wait to find out!! :-D ;)
HH rate, single occupancy: £98 per night with breakfast Sun-Thur, around £110 Fri & Sat? I have used Hampton as part of my HH membership, and was pleasantly surprised. Still prefer IHGs Staybridge Suites though
Tim Tim Tim ….. you didn’t flip the waffle maker to start the timer lol 😅…. Try the Hampton high Wycombe for funkier decor great rooms smeg kettle and fridge and great staff … and Waitrose next door 👍
Lovely room Tim. Another great video. I'm disappointed with parking though. 13 pound a night it makes the holiday very expensive if you have to park in the carpark. Why the hotels can't do a deal with the council so that people who stay there can have free parking. No wonder some of the hotels are boarded up. I notice it's everywhere in Blackpool but not just there it's everywhere now. You have to pay to pay to park your car at your hotel. Great video as always.
Tim theres no way I could guess how much it is but firstly I gotta say £13 a night in a car park is ridiculous. The hotel looks amazing the room looks nice and cosy and the view is beautiful. The hygiene there is spot on and you got lucky on the weather. Plus its amazing you get a complimentary breakfast now thats flipping fantastic. Also Tim just for you to know towards the end of the video you said breakfast was half past 8 that's obviously in the morning but it you wrote down at the bottom 08:30pm just for you to know. Thanks for the video bro 👍
Thank you for the review! Found your channel and I love when you stay at the "unusual" places. Loved the helicopter camping one you did. Just as information, here in the USA and NE (Washington, DC area) the average price for a Hampton By Hilton is around $215 (dollars) or &174 (pounds). Yes, had to look up the conversion. Not sure what being a seaside would do to the price... again, over here it would jack the price up. Looking at the other comments I don't *think* it was even as high as 174, so.... who knows? Cheaper than over here I'd wager!
@@WalkWithMeTim thanks! Pretty similar. I call the color "hotel beige" as just about every hotel uses it, or a similar "hotel light grey/blue". Never seen the safe inside a drawer like that, pretty clever actually. And over here, I've never seen electric kettles (which seem common in UK hotels), we get coffee makers, when it's there at all. Few minor changes, but I can see a room like that over here quite easily.
Have stayed at a few Hampton Inns in the US,they are usually pretty clean and comfortable. Stayed at one in Florida right after Spring break and it was immaculate but the fairly large closet smelled like pee! I thought someone had had their dog in there but the manager said, no, not a dog, just Spring break!
the crome finishes probably aren't 'polished' i imagine they are wiped with a micro fibre cloth, that's usually enough to get a shine, providing its not actually dirty
The room in Blackpool is almost identical the the Hampton I stayed in last night at Stansted. Nice. Decent brekkie. £119 for one night with runway views.
Hiya Tim,nice hotel and room,nice to see a clean room and breakfast look good,I would stay there if I was in Blackpool .if I had to guess you probably paid £130 a nite including breakfast,thanks again for your vlog,
Hi Tim, I’m glad you stayed at a Hampton! I’d guess you paid around £97.00. They’re usually very consistent across their properties and I’ve come to appreciate that. I live in the US but travel to the UK frequently and I always look forward to the Hampton version of the full English breakfast. BTW You’ve got me wanting to go to Gibraltar now!
When we would drive back and forth from 🇨🇦 to southern 🇺🇸, we exclusively would stay in a Hampton Inn. Consistently high quality. More expensive than the norm but worth every penny.
My guess is that it was around 120 GPB for the night. Hilton is more of a full service hotel and Hampton is a more of a budget hotel (think waiter service versus counter service in a restaurant). Almost all of the Hilton branded hotels (including Hamptons) are franchises which means that there can be some inconstancy in the quality. A bad experience means usually means a bad owner. For the most part I have had positive experiences across their brands. I have been to the UK 3 times and am returning this summer. I have limited experience with UK hotels but that experience leads me to believe that they are generally small facilities, small rooms, tiny closets, undersized elevators (lifts) with limited amenities. I have never seen conditioner or lotion in a UK hotel before. When I go next month, I will be trying 4 different hotels (including one outside the UK in Ireland) and maybe my opinion will change. Anyway, cheers and thank you for a great video.
Hi there, another great video like always. Very interesting to watch. I was going to stay here this year. Are usually stay at Big Blue or Boulevard. I haven’t stayed at Boulevard since before Covid. It was a good place to stay but I think I will stay with either Big Blue or Boulevard Keep up the good video. Can’t wait to see the next one and I hope you’re well
Great video,love to see u stay at Richardson's hemsby ,know you have walked through it but don't think you have stayed there ,we love it there ,stay every year.
Alright Tim, please please please can you review the Cave Hotel near Canterbury, my girlfriend and I stayed there last week and it was absolutely amazing I would love for you to go and experience it!
Sorry, i love your uploads and watch many of them for the great reviews and information that we find useful... the cost is one thing that you should have included. Sorry to criticise but i feel the cost is important when deciding where to stay
Hi Tim. Yes the hotel doesn't look great from the outside, but once your in it pretty decent. Very clean and comfortable. Breakfast area looks well done too. Price you paid was probably cheaper than we all think as the location isn't good. 95 pounds I'm thinking.
BTW yes I did say a Hamilton by Hilton at the start by mistake! 🤪
Hopefully Sir Lewis Hamilton gets involved and they can have a whole new range by Hilton with F1 or Mercedes theme 🤣
Not to mention dolly instead of doily (i'm blaming the sea air)
🤣🤣🤣🤣 didn't overly notice 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Another small mistake: at 8 minutes 29 seconds it says the breakfast was at 8:30PM, that's a bit late ;)
And you say Hamilton again at 4:01 ;)
We stayed in this hotel a few weeks back and liked it too.
Hamptons are classed as 3 star and are basically Hiltons version of Premier Inns. They are supposed to be a step down from actual Hiltons but in many cases the standards are much better. I love staying in them!
@@markwood7900 Yes and across US…. very clean….Im an RN and infection control is huge 💯 x
I was going to stay here but IMMEDIATELY cancelled my reservation when Tim dropped the bombshell that the toilet paper isn’t folded to a point! What kind of prison are these people running anyway?
lol
🤣🤣🤣👍🏼
Oh the humanity.
😂
Next I'd love to see you review some YHA's. People have such misconceptions about them but we've stayed at some gorgeous places. Basic, but private en suite rooms and stuff for kiddos. Our favourites have been the YHA next to Whitby Abbey and Ilam Hall near Alton Towers in the Peak District.

I liked the hotel and prefer the neutral colours as it makes it look clean and fresh.
Love your videos, I find them very relaxing. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻
I wholeheartedly agree, surprisingly ASMR like
Stayed in York Hampton and found it really good, I love how you can check in on the app and pick your room so I picked top floor corner room which gave you and extra window and a decent view over the city! Decent breakfast too!
I love Blackpool and on our last visit we stayed just down from there, front free parking was great.
I go to Blackpool alot. Not many especially who aren't from Blackpool will know but it's a fairly newly built hotel. It was only opened in the last 4 or 5 years and was then extended which you can see by the change in colour to the brickwork on the outside which is why everything looks shiny and new inside.
I LOVE the body lotion in the bathroom. Leaves your skin feeling amazing. Love Hampton by Hilton hotels. And the breakfast!
I didn't try that lol
I have not been to Blackpool yet myself, I grew up going to Great Yarmouth but Blackpool definitely needs to be on the list and perhaps this just may be where we choose to stay! Thanks for the great vid Tim.
you should you would love it!
I just stayed in an Hampton by Hilton in Nashville, TN. It was excellent! Clean, well lit, spacious, good free breakfast and great hospitality. I will for sure stay there if I go back.
Are they same as England?
A what?? Hamilton by Hilton? 😂
Stayed in the Glasgow Hampton and it was class.
Comfy bed, nice clean room and reasonably priced
Stayed there ourselves! Absolutely loved it. Food was ace. Service superb. Clean. Tidy. Quiet. Great value! What's not to love?!
Altho the bed on that thin bit of wood was noisy
Anther great review Tim. Enjoyed your recent Sunborn stay in Gibraltar video !. Nice to see Gaby and Casper.
thanks tim have a nice weekend x
and you
By far one of the better hotels you've stayed in in the UK. The attention to detail, depicted by the local scenes not only around the hotel but by each door speaks volumes.

Thank you tim for another great video looks amazing beautiful always look forward to your videos love from Dublin🇮🇪❤
My brother stayed there last week. He loved it
Like Holiday Inn Express, Hampton Inn is usually a safe bet in the States.
Hampton by Hilton rates always include breakfast. With that in mind, I once booked the Hampton in Glasgow.

I go to Blackpool all the time and this hotel is my favourite of all time. The sea view rooms are amazing ❤
Was talking to a b&b owner apparently south and central blackpool have been awarded, awards for being the cleanest and best areas of blackpool
I would stay here in a heartbeat, compared to that overpriced Instagram hotel in London.
Great video as always 💯🤘
Hello Tim,this looks amazing to stay, everything is clean,and when the sun is out I like how it shines in the room.breakfast is nice,i say £175 for the night.
Looks like a nice hotel especially on the inside. I would love that room. The free complimentary breakfast looked good especially make your own waffles!
your the man wicked vid you have a cool family your blessed always watch keep them coming
Thanks
Hi Tim. This looked a nice hotel. We have stayed at the Hampton by Hilton at the Docklands in London and it was a really nice hotel. Debbie & Patrick
Great video Tim, I'm actually booked in for two nights at this hotel this weekend so it's been a very helpful video overall.
Your welcome
Mr Tim, try a Premier + Balcony room in Bournemouth Central, the building is a very grand 1930's art Deco hotel that has been converted into a Premier Inn, and is opposite The Royal Bath Hotel that you stayed in a while back.
yes I know I have stayed there!
Tim, Not sure if you've covered this yet but either:
Ibis Hotel - Birmingham International (Not been to yet but will in september)
Premier Inn - Birmingham NEC (Standard) - i was there for insonmia gaming festival I70 in april and other than the USB port on bedside wasn't great it got fixed and the tv not great for PC Connection and no smart feature. it was alright.
I can honestly say I bloody love this hotel! The place is beautifully decorated, the rooms are comfy, clean and massive. I love the breakfast, the food is fabulous in the restaurant. The staff know me now 🤣
Apart from the bed on that thin wood
Hi Tim, great vid as usual!
Love Hampton by Hilton although the service and standards do vary from hotel to hotel!
I’m guessing £79.00 for a midweek stay!👍😊👏👏❤️
I stayed in a Hampton by Hilton in Blackburn and it was even nicer than this one looked. Not monotone, quite chic almost in some parts. I'd recommend checking that one out.
Polishing of bathroom knobs and shower switched is really good n shiny

Ive always had a good stay at the Hampton Inns here in America. Happy to see they are a good place in the UK too.
Hi Tim, thanks to your video we have booked the Hampton by Hilton hotel at Blackpool and it’s great! Just arrived and it’s exactly like you said, gonna go to Yorkshire fisheries for tea as well. Keep up the good work lad 👍
A modern clean room. Clean being the operative word. Is good to know. If I need one in Blackpool. I will be going there.
Looked nice to me Tim. I couldn’t say the price but I would stay there. Hope you enjoyed your stay. ☀️
Woodhouse farm Hotel in spalding. It has a small swimming pool. The kings deluxe room is very nice. We payed 115.00 per night not included breakfast. But breakfast is £9.95 each. Food is very good.
Well I was pleasantly surprised with this Hamilton Hotel I hadn't heard of Hamilton Hotels before.
I thought it was going to be awful when you looked at it from the outside with the beds & curtains by the windows it did look abit tatty.
But from the moment you walked in I thought it looked fine!
I like the little photos of Blackpool by the room Numbers that shows abit of thought to design!
The colours were nice & neutral the sunshine really was lovely!
I liked the furniture in your room neutral & modern & not chipped or worn.
Everything looked fairly new.
Shame about the stain on that velvet chair but it was only a one off it would of only needed abit of a scrub to get rid of that stain.
But having said that...
The cleaning was first class very good cleaners.
All polished to perfection!
It's a shame the bed wasn't the best so you didn't have a 100%best night's sleep.
The kettle looked brand new!
And the Bathroom, well I would want that Bathroom!
The shower head was the cleanest one I've ever seen!
And the shower base, Taps Mirrors everything absolutely sparkling!
In fact I would like to live in that Hotel🤣
It didn't have the awful stinky Air Conditioning Vents like most Premier Inns have & Travel Lodges.
I hate those Air Conditioning Vents!
I couldn't locate a Radiator, but there must of been some sort of Heating in your Room.
Love the pictures of Blackpool on the walls.
And as you say Tim spotlessly clean walls too!
The safe in the room is a good idea in a basic hotel too!
Shame about the TV remote not working!
But overall the room was very good👌
The breakfast looked very appealing especially the make your own Waffles!
I would of loved that, it's quite a novelty with all the Breakfast included in the price.
And a lovely restaurant/cafe area to sit in the Sunshine eating & drinking!
What was the Bar like?
Im taking a guess that the price for 1 night in this Hamilton Hotel would be £105.
And that might be guessing a little on the cheap side!
I'm watching your vlog on Dubai again now it's just started😁
🦘🌻🦘Hey Tim
Hopefully in 2024, Il visit Blackpool, whilst I’m on my hols in the uk. I live in Western Australia 🦘
I think I would look at staying here I like how clean it looks. Breaky looked ok too.
I think it cost £99 ?
Love your Channel 🦘🌻🦘💕
Thanks Maria
Hi tim i have stayed in a hampton and not yet hilton hotel it didnt wow factor me it was ok anyway thanks your videos are brilliant as allways looking 4ward 2 next one thanks tim have a good week
Liked your room Tim very nice the hotel looked nice as well about time breakfast is free
Yes but nothing is free
Thats true
Glad you tried it Tim 😊 the breakfasts are so nice 😋
The exterior doesn’t do this hotel justice! Maybe not super fancy, but lovely none the less! I’d be happy to stay there!
Shame it doesn't have more seaside or Blackpool decoration or themes but looked like a very clean crisp hotel, outside looks like flats you would find on the train into London. I think it cost £97 per night if it was a weekday. Thanks for sharing as always!
very very close :-)
£96 or £98 lol.
I always stay at a Hampton when I travel in the USA. It’s kind of like the McDonalds of hotels. You always know what you’re going to get!
looks a nice hotel and good for us to see how others compare with premier inn which is our preference if we stay anywhere for a night which isnt very often. We are staying at novotel at birmingham airport soon for first time chosen as terminal departures is just across the road
It was a very good blog today of you chilling out and staying in Hampton hotel Hilton tim
Looks nice and tidy, but the location isn't ideal (unless you're going to the pleasure beach). I'm there next week in the "new" Premierinn. I'll be checking the Kettle 😉
I recently stayed at a Hampton in Portland Oregon near the airport (I am American) on a weekend business trip & the room was as high quality as this one, though the bathrooms were way bigger. Based on this video, it seems to me that there is no difference in terms of quality (which is a good thing) between the US & UK versions of Hampton. The only bad thing about the room I stayed in is that very similar to Tim, the TV remote would not work at all even when the batteries were changed. Luckily the Hampton in Portland recently upgraded the TV's in all of the rooms to smart TV's which can be controlled by an in-room Ipad (which also controls the in room temperature control system & the lights) or by the Hilton Honors app on your phone if the remote isn't working. This is a growing trend in most Hilton branded hotels (at least in the US).
Tim, you have to try a Double Tree by Hilton hotel, i think they are better than the regular hilton hotels, here in Spain is there a lot of Double Tree by Hilton hotel that are "resorts" an the have Spa, Golf course and everything to have a good summer there.
I stay at a hampton by hilton at Bournemouth just up from the hilton on cardiac hill... Its lovely.
Het Tim , How about staying at one of the newer Village hotels , I'm sure you'll be impressed with the switchable frosted glass panels that separate the bedroom from the bathroom 😀
This looked pretty good to me Tim, if you looked underneath the kettle base you probably would have found the wire was coiled up so you could have just unwound it and plugged it in! Yet again though a hotel charging you to park on their property even though you are a customer, I just don't get it so I would never stay there.
Premier Inn do that on a lot of their sites down south. Yeah I always look for an alternative 👍
A good video of I Stay In A Hampton By Hilton - I Was VERY Surprised!💛💛
Hi, if you haven't already done so, I recommend you visit the Efteling theme park in the Netherlands. They have a nice hotel with themed rooms and a "sort of" holiday village you can stay in.
I stayed in one in Liverpool back in August 2023 It was great and the breakfast was good 👍
I've just come back from staying in the double tree by hilton by dartford bridge. It was great (pool and amenities could have some money thrown at it) but I slept well every night, the food was grand and our room had at least 9 plug sockets!! Not to mention the staff were incredible. I reccomend
I like Hampton Inns by Hilton. These are great for going out of town on quick trips. They’ve been great when we have to make a day trip to a family member’s wedding 🤷🏾♀️
Nice place to stay. This hotel looks more like a regular Hilton hotel (than the Hilton Bournemouth) -- at least based on the few Hilton hotels that I've stayed in. Thanks for the video!
Hi Tim, I recently stopped in the Hilton at the NEC in Birmingham. They charge £14 for parking Having said that. The hotel itself was clean and comfortable. Obviously geared up for professionals, rather than a resort family hotel. Also had a great buffet breakfast. I’m guessing £115 a night, with the complimentary breakfast.
So disappointed whe hotels charge for parking
@@WalkWithMeTim Yes I totally agree. It is a bit of a rip-off, considering what you pay for the room.
Great video as always Tim, and really liked those full-length windows. Worth it for the view alone. As for the price, I'm reckoning on £70, but think you're going to surprise us - though frustrated having to wait to find out!! :-D ;)
lol
i go to wales in two weeks and will be staying at the premier in barry island to do the gavin and stacey tour the day after it’s going to be fantastic
HH rate, single occupancy: £98 per night with breakfast Sun-Thur, around £110 Fri & Sat?
I have used Hampton as part of my HH membership, and was pleasantly surprised. Still prefer IHGs Staybridge Suites though
I follow many of the RUclipsrs from Blackpool, can’t say I’ve seen them show this hotel, but it looks good
Tim Tim Tim ….. you didn’t flip the waffle maker to start the timer lol 😅…. Try the Hampton high Wycombe for funkier decor great rooms smeg kettle and fridge and great staff … and Waitrose next door 👍
I did I just didn't in the edit
@@WalkWithMeTim 😂😂thought it looked a bit pale on top so nice to have actual fresh waffles 🧇 not the usual microwave one like many hotels
Lovely room Tim. Another great video. I'm disappointed with parking though. 13 pound a night it makes the holiday very expensive if you have to park in the carpark. Why the hotels can't do a deal with the council so that people who stay there can have free parking. No wonder some of the hotels are boarded up. I notice it's everywhere in Blackpool but not just there it's everywhere now. You have to pay to pay to park your car at your hotel. Great video as always.
Yes I hate when hotels charge to park overnight
Tim theres no way I could guess how much it is but firstly I gotta say £13 a night in a car park is ridiculous. The hotel looks amazing the room looks nice and cosy and the view is beautiful. The hygiene there is spot on and you got lucky on the weather. Plus its amazing you get a complimentary breakfast now thats flipping fantastic.
Also Tim just for you to know towards the end of the video you said breakfast was half past 8 that's obviously in the morning but it you wrote down at the bottom 08:30pm just for you to know.
Thanks for the video bro 👍
ha ha thats why you should never edit at 4am lol
@@WalkWithMeTim wow 4am 🤣
Thank you for the review! Found your channel and I love when you stay at the "unusual" places. Loved the helicopter camping one you did. Just as information, here in the USA and NE (Washington, DC area) the average price for a Hampton By Hilton is around $215 (dollars) or &174 (pounds). Yes, had to look up the conversion. Not sure what being a seaside would do to the price... again, over here it would jack the price up. Looking at the other comments I don't *think* it was even as high as 174, so.... who knows? Cheaper than over here I'd wager!
thanks Steve! welcome along .. what's the hotel like compared to over there
@@WalkWithMeTim thanks! Pretty similar. I call the color "hotel beige" as just about every hotel uses it, or a similar "hotel light grey/blue". Never seen the safe inside a drawer like that, pretty clever actually. And over here, I've never seen electric kettles (which seem common in UK hotels), we get coffee makers, when it's there at all. Few minor changes, but I can see a room like that over here quite easily.
Have stayed at a few Hampton Inns in the US,they are usually pretty clean and comfortable. Stayed at one in Florida right after Spring break and it was immaculate but the fairly large closet smelled like pee! I thought someone had had their dog in there but the manager said, no, not a dog, just Spring break!
the crome finishes probably aren't 'polished' i imagine they are wiped with a micro fibre cloth, that's usually enough to get a shine, providing its not actually dirty
They are only 2 Hampton Hotel near me Ashford and Canterbury. Have never stayed at a Hampton Hotel, they look quite cool.
The room in Blackpool is almost identical the the Hampton I stayed in last night at Stansted. Nice. Decent brekkie. £119 for one night with runway views.
Hiya Tim,nice hotel and room,nice to see a clean room and breakfast look good,I would stay there if I was in Blackpool .if I had to guess you probably paid £130 a nite including breakfast,thanks again for your vlog,
I reckon £95 a night for the Seaview room. I thought the hotel colouring was spot on. Definitely would stay there 👍🏻
Hi Tim, I’m glad you stayed at a Hampton! I’d guess you paid around £97.00. They’re usually very consistent across their properties and I’ve come to appreciate that. I live in the US but travel to the UK frequently and I always look forward to the Hampton version of the full English breakfast. BTW You’ve got me wanting to go to Gibraltar now!
you should .. you will want to go back again and again
Damn Jason. Why wasn't I invited? 😂😂😂
The song "blinded by the light" popped in my head lol 😅.. nice room 😀.. im guessing £100 for night.
Britannia Hotel..... Wolverhampton or Birmingham City Centre! Stab vest needed if you go out after7pm!!
Yikes
My guess is around £130. Please do airport hotels, Gatwick? Love you videos
Looks worth a visit 😊
When we would drive back and forth from 🇨🇦 to southern 🇺🇸, we exclusively would stay in a Hampton Inn. Consistently high quality. More expensive than the norm but worth every penny.
How does uk version compare
@@WalkWithMeTim 🇺🇸 room was much much bigger. Your room is tiny in comparison.
My guess is that it was around 120 GPB for the night. Hilton is more of a full service hotel and Hampton is a more of a budget hotel (think waiter service versus counter service in a restaurant). Almost all of the Hilton branded hotels (including Hamptons) are franchises which means that there can be some inconstancy in the quality. A bad experience means usually means a bad owner. For the most part I have had positive experiences across their brands. I have been to the UK 3 times and am returning this summer. I have limited experience with UK hotels but that experience leads me to believe that they are generally small facilities, small rooms, tiny closets, undersized elevators (lifts) with limited amenities. I have never seen conditioner or lotion in a UK hotel before. When I go next month, I will be trying 4 different hotels (including one outside the UK in Ireland) and maybe my opinion will change. Anyway, cheers and thank you for a great video.
Hi there, another great video like always. Very interesting to watch. I was going to stay here this year. Are usually stay at Big Blue or Boulevard. I haven’t stayed at Boulevard since before Covid. It was a good place to stay but I think I will stay with either Big Blue or Boulevard Keep up the good video. Can’t wait to see the next one and I hope you’re well
Thank hotel is coming sunday
Great video,love to see u stay at Richardson's hemsby ,know you have walked through it but don't think you have stayed there ,we love it there ,stay every year.
£110 for the night with breakfast. Another good video Tim, love your honesty.
Alright Tim, please please please can you review the Cave Hotel near Canterbury, my girlfriend and I stayed there last week and it was absolutely amazing I would love for you to go and experience it!
Sorry, i love your uploads and watch many of them for the great reviews and information that we find useful... the cost is one thing that you should have included. Sorry to criticise but i feel the cost is important when deciding where to stay
Hi Tim. Yes the hotel doesn't look great from the outside, but once your in it pretty decent. Very clean and comfortable. Breakfast area looks well done too. Price you paid was probably cheaper than we all think as the location isn't good. 95 pounds I'm thinking.
Would love for you to try one of the all inclusive options in Blackpool next 😊
It looks very fresh and clean.
