“Don't even go there - shocking !!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

people found this review helpful

I have travelled extensively throughout Europe with my family and this hotels is the worst ever and there is not enough space here to explain fully how bad this place is.
I booked a family holiday for the Christmas New Year period and from the moment we arrived it was appalling eg the rooms were not what we booked and had no resemblance to the colour brochure despite having called the hotel and sent Emails prior to arrival - this I was told was down to a change in staff etc - the hotel is certainly not wheelchair friendly as stated.
The sea view was that of the adjacent building and the second bedroom had a small side window towards the sea.The rooms were basic with many faults however the management were extremely unhelpful and we had to discuss the problems almost daily.
The only redeeming fact was the general staff were genuinely helpful and sympathetic.

Room Tip: No good rooms - NONE !!!

We have just arrived back after spending Christmas here,I can't praise the hotel and all the staff enough,such a friendly welcome,nothing too much trouble ,staff always around if you need anything,great value for money! always plenty of food which was absolutely delicious,excellent buffets over the festive period as well,excellent entertainment,didn't need to leave the hotel as there was always something going on! Our thanks go out to all the staff that made our stay most enjoyable...Bobby,Linda,Sharon,Daniel the waiter was great with our daughter.Rooms were also great sizes with plenty of room in them all,such a shame we had to leave! I would quite happily have stayed.We will be returning to the Colonial without hesitation.Thank you all xxx

“Unfair reviews”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

Considering what We paid for this hotel .Extremely good value for money.I stayed at the Colonial hotel for 4 nights last week with my mum and daughter and was so pleasantly surprised.You can imagine what We were expecting after reading some very poor reviews that quite frankly were unfair and unfounded.Yes the carpets were a little shabby however the standard of service and our over all experience definetly out weighed this.The hotel staff were extremely child friendly and very efficent..After many years of visiting Blackpool and staying in some REALLY poor hotels,I and my mum would have no hesitation in returning to this fantastic establishment..
