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

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.

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

Worth the price

2023 MIGRANT HOTEL

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

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

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 🙏🏼

There's a lift to the ground floor then just standard pool steps - the sauna is good though that shouldn't be an issue

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.

Hi we’re is the factory shop what time do they close if someone could please tell me

This is not bad at all in fact I'd say it's quite nice

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

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

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

i stayed there before covid lockdown

Not another Britannia, Ill never stay in one again, they are bloody awful

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.

@@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

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????!!!!
