Savoy Blackpool Hotel

A large and very lively hotel on the sea front with the trams running close by. Room very comfortable and clean. TV a bit dated so no teletext but not a major problem. Wi -fi available if near reception which is useful. Very good value for money in this grand old style hotel and I would certainly stay there again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room was tired and dated, the television bathroom fittings must not have been changed in the past 20 years. My wife and three year old child was kept awake by the downstairs disco till 2am. If your thinking about staying at the savoy I would reconsider.

We stayed 1 night to visit family. Was rather disappointed with standard of room - very tired, damp smell, carpet not vacuumed, window cracked & handles broken, table not wiped down, mirror smeared, cigarette burn in blanket...... Staff were friendly & helpful. Tram into town right on doorstep. Could be a stunning hotel if updated.

unfortuately we upgraded to a superior room for our usual standard double. we wanted to complain about the room for various reasons but felt it was too much hassel and didnt want to cause a fuss. the room wasnt a double room, merely a twin with the beds pushed together! the room was smaller than our usual size, with the television being very small. […] we were issued a superior room (with a sea view) yet felt disappointed with the "upgrade" we had chosen as a treat. we have used the savoy many times before however will seriously consider other competitors all priced at similar rates. overall we left the hotel feeling disappointed rather than had a great night away.

very disappointed! although the decor is tired and needs a spruce up there is NO excuse for a dirty room or luke warm water in the bathroom. Water was dripping from the room above through the light fitting! the toilet had been used and not flushed....the list goes on!

Luckily only staying one night for a family party. The room would have been ok if it hadn't been like being in an ice box. Admitably it was blowing a gale and sub zero outside but windows without gaps in the putty or even better double glazing would have kept it outside. Room clean but they hadn't bothered to empty the bin in the room or bathroom. Only […] glad we didn't pay full price for the room, won't be stopping again. Read more

The price of this hotel was the main reason for staying here. I didn't expect much and it was exactly was I expected. Once one of Blackpool finest, now a sad and tired hotel. Dated rooms and public areas, guests of a certain age and breakfast from the value range. I can't complain about the price and if I wanted style and excellent food then I would […] have to have paid more for it - I choose not to. I just needed a bed to sleep in. "life on mars". Read more

Lovely sea-view room, twin with jacuzzi bath. room very warm heating on all the time, all for very good price. Very satisfied with hotel and location, bus and tram stop out side of hotel.

Could be a lovely hotel if had a make over

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I'm all for a bit of faded grandeur, but this takes it too far. Peeling, peach-painted wallpaper, water damage on the ceiling, filthy upholstery and carpets, thin towels and threadbare sheets, and the general smell of of decay. Walking into reception in the evenings was like going to sing-along at a low rent old folks home.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Poor quality hotel in desperate need of refurbishment, our room had a rotting window frame and cracked tiles in the bathroom. Breakfast was inedible.Car parking is for approximately 30 cars, but there is a pay and display next to the hotel, it cost £10 for 24 hours and you cannot pay with notes or by card, there is a lift that carries a maximum of three […] people, so if you have mobility issues, you will have to wait for the lift.

Stayed here a number of years ago, wasn't to bad then but first impressions this time were poor unfortunately. Torn bedroom curtains, cigarette burns on the bedding - looked like a 50's guest house behind the scenes. Yes it was cheap but until this hotel does a major clean and refurb it will be unale to command anything higher. Oh, also no complimentary […] newspaper as was included in the booking - this is not available apparently. Read more

Hotel quite good value, but in need of spring clean and decorating. Lift too small for size of hotel and somebody set off fire alarm, disabled rooms were on 3 floor, how do they get down stairs if severly disabled as one guest was and was very worried. Left phone charger in room but nobody found it.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Im guessing this was a lovely hotel once upon a time but unfortunately it is anything but lovely now. The first room we were given woukd not have even merited a 1 star rating being damp, smelly, one small dingy frosted window, dirty carpets, wallpaper peeling off the stained walls - disgusting. I can honestly say I have stayed in nicer hostels in the […] past. The second room we were given was a slight improvement in respect of the damp but was still appalling. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone. Read more

booked a twin room .but 1st room only had a double bed. reception staff friendly and said no twin rooms where available. they did offer to switch us to one of there sister hotels. but in the end we had two separate rooms the 1st night and an upgrade twin room with sea view the 2ND night. found all three rooms to be in the same sorry state. light carpets […] which was full of stains . as was the walls and furniture. silver insulation around pipe work which looks awful went down to breakfast to find big round tables .you help your self to food then sit down next to a strangers. found that very off putting. fire alarm went off at 3.00am for a few minutes. there was no information from staff .it was only because we heard a couple get up and go downstairs then come back up that we new it was a false alarm. we checked out that morning and staff said nothing about why the alarm had gone off like most big hotels they have to many rooms to maintain .and hotel is in need of refurbishment and investment Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

hotel is very dated as other reviewers have said, room was a bit dissapointing but as i had got it at a reasonable price it was ok the lift is tiny only 3 people at a time and as 3pm is check in time and no earlier it took a while it only goes to 3rd floor and we were on the 4th which was not ideal with a small child and large case ! when i got there […] there was no bed for my son but this was rectified as soon as i rang reception there was no towels for him either and tv did not work but both these were also sorted by the very helpfull and friendly staff.the breakfast is very good with fruit youghurt croissants crusty bread cheese ham cereals and cooked buffet breakfast available the only complaint there was dining room got very busy and our friends were put in another room as there is not enough tables.it is further out than we thought but the bus and tram stops are just outside the door we bought all day tickets from the spar up the road which is cheaper than buying on the bus or tram and could get on either all day long.our friends had paid a lot for thier room and did not think it worth it but as it is only a base it was fine.the staff were pleasant and helpfull there is a happy few hours in day when it is good value for some of the drinks but we missed this most days as we were out and about.the car park was not as big as we had thought either but we both found spaces there is a big paying carpark next door if you didnt manage to get one.

I booked two nights in this hotel with my two year old daughter and my father who is in his mid 60's. My room was a small double on the third floor that had windows that didn't open. My fathers room was on the first floor and it didn't have a window!! The hotel is very dated, towels and bedding threadbare. The windows in the comon parts are so dirty […] you could hardly see out of them. We upgraded on the first night to have dinner, booked for 7.45, they finally allowed the large que of people in around 8.10. It was another 25 mins before anyone took our order. The food was basic and the drinks expensive. Not a pleasant experience at all. Read more

too far out of city centre and a room without a view but a frosted glass window come all the way from gibraltar to get a dark room ..as insisted to move and of course i did.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Overall, it was quite good for the money paid. Meals were good, including room service. Location was good, with tram & bus stops outside hotel On the negative side - only one lift to service 300+ rooms! Entertainment could be improved, i.e. more varied live acts.

Room was clean, staff helpful and friendly. Lift was terrible, very slow and small.

I wanted a cheapish hotel for me and my daughter before we went to gig at the Empress Ballroom. I read the reviews and was uncertain whether to book or not.. I booked a single room and took advantage of the children stay and eat free aspect of the room. (I previously phoned the hotel directly who told me to book a twin room which was twice the price!) […] Anyway I got there and asked for an additional bed which was duly put in.IOverall great value athough the hotel could do with a little update. Great breakfast included too! Read more

After some of the reviews, I was a little worried about what I was getting, especially as I chose the cheapest room!

HOTEL IS IN NEED OF REFURBISHING, THE ROOMS ARE OLD AND WORN OUT, THE HOTEL TURNED DOWN THE HEATING DURING THE DAY, AND THE PRICES FOR MEALS WERE EXPENSIVE OVER THE NEW YEAR PERIOD ALSO THE RESTAURANT CLOSED ON THE 30TH AND 31ST DEC SO THERE WAS NO OPTION,

the receptionist who was on duty at the time we had arrived on sat 22/10/11,was very helpful with the unfortunate position we were in at the time.aslo all through the day until we were actually had checked in. we could'nt thank her enough for her hospitality,help and consideration to us.

The rooms surprised me with a good shower and jacuzzi, the lack of staff was not good, it was possibly okay in off season but that week was a Scottish holiday for the children and it was busy. The breakfast was good apart from the fact that the food was not warm enough, again one extra cook would have made a difference. But the price was great again […] though I would have rather have paid the extra few pounds to have had better service on the reception. Read more

Once upon a time, this was a grand hotel, but now it is looking very tired. It would require a massive spend to return this hotel to its former glory and it is probably not what is required in Blackpool, so the cost of a big refurbishment would never be recouped . At least, at the moment, it provides a cheap bed for the night.

Faded elegance, harking back to a bygone age. Out of season, the hotel is peopled with coach trip passengers.

Went with open mind having read reviews. We stayed the night following RE dinner. Dinner was good, entertainment excellent. Breakfast VERY dissapointing (orange juice and tea undrinkable)

In an ideal location on the Queens Promenade in Blackpool, the Savoy is well situated for all the amenities a traveller would expect, without the noise and bustle of a more central location. With a 10 minute tram service, plus specials, into town and regular buses it is no problem at all getting to all the shops and attractions of Blackpool. When it's […] exceptionally busy, it makes sense to use the Cliffs tram stop heading south, rather than Gynn Square, as trams tend to become full at the Cliffs - both stops are roughly the same distance from the hotel. On the theme of being busy, it is well to arrive early for breakfast at the hotel at peak times of the year, as seating is at a premium and queues do form as time passes. The staff are very friendly and helpful, although they do seem to be well stretched at these hectic periods and if arriving at meal times one should be prepared for a long wait for assistance with baggage (I was told it would be an hour - although I was moved to a room where assistance was not necessary, ie fully accessible by lift). If you have to wait, then the bar affords pleasant views out to sea across Jubilee Gardens on the Promenade plus at night views of the Illuminations during their Season. Choice of food is generally excellent, especially at breakfast and dinner is served at table, which is very convenient if you use a walking stick as I do. The rooms are always maintained in excellent order and cleanliness and the housekeeping staff are friendly and obliging. Overall, a very good impression, but if you have mobility difficulties, do request a room accessible by lift at time of booking. Read more

This is a Victorian style hotel which is what we wanted full of original fixtures. This is blackpool so it depends on what you find it suited us for the weekend we were there. Far enough from the city centre to be quite and only a short tram ride away from all the attractions

check in could not find us wanted double room given twin when this was pointed out on arrival we were told it would be changed or the beds put together neither was done We had to wait at the bar for staff to come All entertainment finished bang on 11.00pm - Could have left music or something as the wedding party in the next suit was still going on. breakfast […] although the food was good there was no one to show you were to sit and old plates were not cleared from the tables so even with the tables seating 10 it was not very nice to sit down with 6 places stacked with dirty plates bowls and cups Read more

all fabulous ref hotel except breakfast - where do i begin! Food excellent - the chef is superb Service - 20 dirty tables around where i was sitting waited 25 mins for eggs bacon and toast. cereal overflowing in a pile - ran out of tea coffee and juice on both days. I had breakfast at 8am one morning and also 9am both a disaster - Duty manager not […] available and when he did appear an hour later didnt handle my thoughts at all well staff said that they were in it for the money and nothing else.
