It'll never win an award worth winning but this hotel did the job.

Rooms weren't massive but were clean & sufficient for getting your head down after a night on the sauce in Blackpool.

Have to agree about the security of the doors as my room could be pushed open, nevermind kicked.

I did at first think the little bloke with the baldy heid was an ill mannered git, but after seeing how much he did that weekend, if i was him I'd be miserable too.

All in a good weekend was had by all, and thanks for the complimentary condiments !!!!!

OK, so we have just got back from a girly weekend in Blackpool, staying at the New Central Hotel.
I was so very worried after booking into this hotel and then reading the reviews, to the point that I even phoned the hotel beforehand, just to try console myself.
Any way... This hotel is not as bad as you would think reading what has been posted on here.
It is the basic run of the mill Blackpool hotel, if you want 5 star luxury then don't go to Blackpool!
Rooms were comfy (room 207), although small, and we didn't really want to close the door on the bathroom as it was a sliding door and we feared we may never get it open again if we closed it.
Could have done with the heating on as it was a bit cold when we were getting ready to go down to breakfast, and we also thought it would be a good idea to have a handle on the inside of the room doors. They were fire doors, locked with a yale type lock and were quite heavy to open with just the little lock handle.
It got fairly noisy through the night with other guests coming in during the early hours, but at the end of the day this is what Blackpool is renown for, boozy weekends with friends, so if you want quiet, this is not the place for you.
Breakfast was served quickly, it was a nice mixed english breakfast, and was a nice start to the day after the night before :0)
Apparently Mo has disappeared, so the gentleman running what seems like everything must now be run off his feet on a weekend, he was there on our arrival and was still serving breakfast, then checking guests out the next day. Got to say he was very helpful.
Overall, we may not stay here again, but we certainly would not tell others not to.
It's a good base for the town, bars and shops, so if you just want a short stay no frills hotel, then this is not as bad as some of the reviews make out.

We have stayed at this hotel at the end of September for the last few years and have found the Hotel to be excellent value for money.
 
The hotel is in an excellent location within walking distance of the tower and all of the nightlife.
 
We usually stay B & B with an evening meal and we have found the food to be good value for money with the service being good.
 
 
Mo and the team are always very friendly and accommodating, opening the bar for us whenever required. The rooms are basic but with everything required for a short stay.
 
The bad reviews on here seem to be from people who expect a little bit more for their money but at £27.50 per night the accommodation is much better than similar priced hotels within the town and anybody wanting 5* luxury will need to spend a little bit extra!

Avoid this sesspit at all costs ! spent half an hour in this dump and couldn't get out quick enough . Where do i start , right here we go:
1. entrance reception stank of stale beer ,nicotine ,dampness.
2.lift did not work.
3.stairs too narrow ,carpets filthy and unsecured, bannister full of splinters of wood .
4.loose floorboards on landings
5.broken mirrors on landings .
6.room door lock easily opened without need for key (badly fitting lock ,probably been kicked in at some point by the look of it)
7.previous guests underwear found in bed and in toilets (not just 1 room by the way !)
8.mould and dampness on some of the bedroom walls .
9.cupboard doors falling off
10.unable to operate shower due to broken lever.

These are just some of the things i found in under twenty minutes in this hell hole ,and quite frankly i had had enough of looking for anymore due to the fear of catching something untoward !! Dont even waste your time talking to staff because they look as clean as the hotel and are of no use whatsoever .

In my honest opinion i think you would hard pushed to find a worse hotel in the whole of the UK never mind Blackpool , come to think of it , even a third world country !!!!!!!!

DOOOOOOOOOON'T GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
