Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Holiday Inn Blackpool By Ihg from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the modern and spacious rooms, equipped with amenities like a fridge, iron and ironing board, and even a Nespresso machine in some cases. The hotel's location is ideal, with immediate access to the tram station and proximity to the train station, a Sainsbury's supermarket just across the street, and a short walk to attractions like the Tower. While the breakfast buffet receives mostly positive reviews, some guests have found it somewhat uninspired.

Really good Stay, Modern Comfort and Great Service

early check-inmodern designample storageroom mix-up

I had an early check-in, half an hour before the scheduled time, which I found very convenient. The room featured a modern design. It was also well-lit and airy, offering ample storage. I especially liked the sofa, while the bathroom had a great extraction fan, this kept the space steam-free. The shower had great water pressure.

I was not given the double bed that I had paid for in the standard room. Instead, I got two single beds. When I spoke to the receptionist, I was told standard rooms are assigned as available. I did not understand why the choice was not honored.
