I went with three girls only stayed the one night, breakfast was good the room was lovley and clean. Had a great time in blackpool hotel was not that far from shops and pubs. Only thing i thought it was wrong was the price at 30 pound per night should of got somewhere cheaper as we were only in bed for three hours. Still lovely place and a lovely freindly couple.

We hadn't actually began to look for our hotel when we were making our way to the Pleasure beach but it certainy jumped out at us!! Maybe it was the spay painted sign or certificates in the doorway from 1973, but we started to realise why there was no picures on their website.

As we checked in Jim showed us to our rooms and told us the rules and left us to it. Alot of places in Blackpool are wary about taking large parties and as the was ten rowdy 21 year olds in our group we were grateful of somewhere to stay at all.

The wallpaper is peeling off and the showers are dirty but the hotel is in an excellet location for a night out and if you are not planning on moping around in your hotel room and getting out and having fun like us then this is the perfect place. However I would not reccommend it for families with small children as there is alot of steep stairs, but then if you let your child run around un-attended what do you expect to happen.

After getting over the initial shock of the place (needs some serious updating) we has the best weekend ever, the owners were very tolerent of our noise and drunkeness and were nice and pleasant in the morning. Cheap and cheerful!

All I really have to say is go and stay here if your out with mates for a big night and you dont really feel like eating in the morning.

Nice one Emma..................

This place seems to get relative bad press, but what do you expect for £15 a night. We have stayed with Jimbo a number of times and the blokes an absolute legend, understands the youth of the day and accepts stag booking. Hes a loverly Scot and would recommend him. Its worth visting his "Medicine Bar" for £1.50 triples.

Jim you rule!

My self and my family, which consisted of myself, my husband, my 8 yr old son and my mother and father all went to blackpool for the illuminations for the weekend and had booked to stay at the astoria. Much to my horror when we arrived and saw the hotel which had been described in a local newspaper as a lovely sea front hotel with car parking facilities. the hotel was very run down outside and even worse inside, when we got in the smell inside was awful and the bedrooms were filthy with paper peeling off the walls, the bathroom/toilet was also filthy and the shower looked like it had never been cleaned and had no facilities to park the car the owner told us to use a nearby supermarket car park. Eventually we all decided that it was not the palce we wanted to stay fro the weekend and we therefore lost our deposit and had to find other accomodation as i could not let my son sleep there. I think the astoria should be looked at with the catering association of blackpool as the place is not clean and not well looked after.
