奧爾巴尼飯店(The Albany Hotel)

I stayed here for a week while i was working on a theatre musical nearby at The Winter Gardens, so wanted somewhere quite near just to be able to walk there and back. Going to a hotel in Blackpool, you kinda know what your going to get with a budget hotel, so my expectations wer'nt that high really and just hoped it wasnt going to be too bad. And it wasnt. Sure, the exterior needs a looking at, clear up all the rubbish and tat left around under the seating. Got met at the door by the manager/owner and taken into the 'bar area' to check in. Usual drab 80's decor - but i wasnt bothered as only staying here to sleep! Its a pity the hotel didnt have a drinks license though - so no bar, but of course you could bring in your own - so thats what i did. After checking in and dropping my stuff off in the room, I popped out to a store round the corner and got a bottle of red! I was staying in the superior room at the end of the ground floor, which 'featured' a 32 inch tv on the wall and a comfortable bed. I did do the Alex Polizzi hotel room check around ( lol ) and found no horror stories. I always just take a jar of Kenco coffee and was able to top up milks from the 'bar'. You could hear people clomping around a bit upstairs, but it wasnt that bad. Tbh - for the entire time i was there aside from the first night - I didnt actually meet anybody else at all. It was a bit like staying in the Mary Celeste but it did seem full up with people. Overall, for what it was, I had no complaints. It did the job. It was comfortable enough, the room itself was clean and functional. Would i return? No. Only because I would of been happy to pay a bit more in a place that served breakfast and had a bar! But as a 1 or 2 night stopover where your not fussed about all that and just want to get in overnight and back out early the next day, its fine.

A nice hotel for the money, could do with a lick of paint but you only sleep in it. The staff are so nice, very helpful. There is no restaurant but there are cafes everywhere. Lots of steep stairs so be aware.

Sleep in a field full of cows it’s a cleaner experience Damp dirty and not worth the money If you want musty pillows and sheets and a dirty environment this is the hotel to book Look elsewhere and if your desperate then book this dump👍👍

When my group of 3 first arrived, we were all booked into one room with one double bed, this was quickly rectified and we were given another room. We noticed that some of the towels we were given were already dirty when we arrived but we were given new ones

Windows jammed shut nearly broke hand trying to open them room smelt mouldy the taps in the sink just about worked .the bed was so uncomfortable we were stiff and numb when we awoke .also people walking upstairs all night as the floor boards creaked so loudly above us terrible stay wont go again

Dirty room, dirty shower. Stained mattress, cigarette burns on bedding. Broken window that wouldnt shut. Ordered a double room and got a twin. No staff around. I'd add photos but its not letting me

Was a good size hotel room was nice n big for a little family, the room was very cold at night but the beds were extremely comfy

Never go to this hotel it is scruffy dirty and very neglected no body to complain to they are never on site.and below basic. For £50 a night with no food on premises

Owner went above and beyond, me and my sister booked a twin room which happened to be on the 2nd floor, he noticed my sister wasnt as mobile and offered us a twin room on the ground floor, which was a massive help as she was able to walk further and out longer, we also had use of a microwave which again was no hassle, quite central to all amenities in Blackpool.
