There’s no way I would want the rim of a clean cup touching my lips after sitting on a tea tray that has probably NEVER been cleaned. Much easier to swill out the cup under hot water in the bathroom when they’ve been upright, than find something to scrub the rim clean.
That is really good value to be honest. Basic but clean with complimentary tea/coffee and bathroom essentials. Great view and just £2 extra to use the pool, a bargain really. £15 for a 4 course meal, well more than reasonable and entertainment also. Who can complain really. They upgraded yourself with no hassle.
take a look at the Jesmond International Hotel in blackpool its a s..t whole wife stayed there when her brother was in hospital this year. Do a review for your fans and tell them after not to go
We wont venture out at night unless to go to a show...so we like entertainment....hense.....we have tried lots of Hotels on the front but......coming out on top is.....The Hotel Sheraton then the Elgin.....central...i would say Craig y don
We stayed in this hotel when it was owned by Hilton. Had a few nice holidays here. Such a shame it has been taken over by Britannia. Always enjoyed the evening set menu. Great value.
Just be thankful the hotel has not (yet) been taken over and housing migrants in it. It is only a matter of time. Let's see video review on it when migrants are in the hotel. Go to the Metropole Hotel. See how far you get????!!!!
@@wanderingwiganer yes it is but in time there will be no guest houses left such a shame but it does need one hell of a lot of investment and British seaside resorts will continue to decline as they can not compete with Spain and other country's both on cost and weather and the world is now a smaller place with cheap plane travel
Stayed here in the 90’s, it was way more grand back then ironically, the pool area was serine and no reception desk in the back in the day, find memories of this place
Maybe mr Brittania stopped buying up every hotel in England, and concentrate on getting the places upgraded; last I heard he owns something like 60 odd hotels 😂I think it’s enough
Brilliant mate just come across your vlog,s,, i will be subscribing,, and brill steals shop i,ll be checking that out when i get ther,, all the best mate
🤣🤣🤣 you learned me a lesson on the cups we put 6 of that crap milk 🤣🤣 Crickey I’d say old that hair dryer I bet they don’t scratch their own furniture cups right way in new room 🤣 yea much better room defo stay there till the next one 😊
It is a nice hotel very minor problems with it I think it needs more people running it than the staff that they have got in charge, when I was there is was quite empty not many people using the dining room they changed the self service to table service which took for ages to get something to eat the food on the first two nights was out of this world then after that it was downhill due to change of chef!, I think these hotels need proper a maintenance but it's a Britannia Hotel they are very slow at fixing things but they were very prompt at sending a plumber to fix toilets at this hotel even at the desk when you had a problem with the card to your room. It's a huge hotel I think they struggle with maintenance just not enough staff and care of the customers to suit their needs, it could be simply Blackpools best if they just took care of it.
I feel britannia will "refurbish" these hotels but it's always done on the cheap so it'll never be as good as it once was. As for the food the quality of the offerings in all its hotels has been getting worse recently to the point where I'd prefer just order a takeaway as that's usually better quality. I agree with needing more staff too
Thanks just subbed and notification enjoyed straightforward great review sink unit looked dated in room 1 as base I use travelodge premier in and going through other chains as much as I can for proce it seems fair enough just pity about damaged furniture not hotels fault still needs replaced thanks enjoyed
The wife is going to be staying there in June this year she going to at a Conferences so been good you doing this vid got a question my wife doggy on her pins how easy is it to get in pool?
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised actually, don't know what I was expecting but it so much better than I thought it was going be. Would definitely give it ago.
Another great review, love the Blackpool ones, helps so much when considering where to stay. What road did you say that factory shop was on (I couldn’t quite catch what you said) and can anyone shop there or is there a membership scheme or anything - a postcode for it would be helpful too, I’d definitely take a look. Thanks 🙏🏼
me and my partner stayed here loads and even got engaged in blackpool last year but we never knew that trick with parking and as such had to pay £7 per day :( thanks for the tip so we can do this next time!
I did stay here when it was the Hilton and it was pretty reasonable but food prices where expensive so glad to see it more reasonable now. Both rooms looked decent.

Yes I've seen a few youtubers do that one not great is it!

This hotel has entertainment on but its not the best it does attract a rowdy crowd. I believe the cliffs is ok
We stayed in this hotel when it was owned by Hilton. Had a few nice holidays here. Such a shame it has been taken over by Britannia. Always enjoyed the evening set menu. Great value.
The Food is ok but certainly not up to hilton standards now
Stay at the SHERATON HOTEL THE BEST IN BLACKPOOL WE GO EVERY YEAR.
Been there before not the best hotel there
Just be thankful the hotel has not (yet) been taken over and housing migrants in it. It is only a matter of time. Let's see video review on it when migrants are in the hotel. Go to the Metropole Hotel. See how far you get????!!!!
When it re opens to the public I'll do a vlog
Very nice place stayed last year would stay again if only Blackpool itself wasn't so run down and rough
It's getting better there's lots of investment at the moment

0 star for me I hate every minute of it ❤❤

🤣🤣🤣 you learned me a lesson on the cups we put 6 of that crap milk 🤣🤣 Crickey I’d say old that hair dryer I bet they don’t scratch their own furniture cups right way in new room 🤣 yea much better room defo stay there till the next one 😊
Not another Britannia, Ill never stay in one again, they are bloody awful
Thanks 4 sharing. Good luck on your sub count
I appreciate it, thanks
This is not bad at all in fact I'd say it's quite nice
Would be nice if they employed a window cleaner, dirty windows spoil this hotel and the views
All britannia hotels seem to have dirty windows 🤣
Sorry Wandering Wiganer.....so impersonnel........wouldn't go there myself but people on a budget i understand
When did Britannia take it over?
Few years ago
Oh i was wrong sorry..there is entertainment there. Good price but check out the amazing Hotel sheraton
Looks like they have taken a king size bed out and replaced with a small double as the headboard is massive compared to the bed
It’s £20 for 24 hours at last hotel I stayed in ,
i stayed there before covid lockdown
It is a nice hotel very minor problems with it I think it needs more people running it than the staff that they have got in charge, when I was there is was quite empty not many people using the dining room they changed the self service to table service which took for ages to get something to eat the food on the first two nights was out of this world then after that it was downhill due to change of chef!, I think these hotels need proper a maintenance but it's a Britannia Hotel they are very slow at fixing things but they were very prompt at sending a plumber to fix toilets at this hotel even at the desk when you had a problem with the card to your room.

Thanks for the support 😊
No entertainment i guess
The wife is going to be staying there in June this year she going to at a Conferences so been good you doing this vid got a question my wife doggy on her pins how easy is it to get in pool?
There's a lift to the ground floor then just standard pool steps - the sauna is good though that shouldn't be an issue
Great vlog
If they didn't want photo ID I'd stay here in a standard room 👍
They didn't ask me
Was this the Stakis hotel?
Many moons ago yes
@ScottM-t2l was it actually a 5 star?
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised actually, don't know what I was expecting but it so much better than I thought it was going be.
Would definitely give it ago.

it’s ok, I found the postcode - FY4 4QQ and it looks like anyone can shop there, thanks for sharing this place, I didn’t know it existed.
Yeah it's out of the way but well worth a drive over
No problem hope you find something nice
me and my partner stayed here loads and even got engaged in blackpool last year but we never knew that trick with parking and as such had to pay £7 per day :( thanks for the tip so we can do this next time!
No problem 😊
I did stay here when it was the Hilton and it was pretty reasonable but food prices where expensive so glad to see it more reasonable now. Both rooms looked decent.
I never stayed when it was hilton so can't compare but I did stay when it was first bought out and to be fair the condition is getting better slowly
