What guests think

Across recent reviews, Best Western Carlton Hotel is praised for friendly staff and a convenient seafront location near trams and the Tower, providing an easy base for exploring Blackpool and the promenade.

Rooms are generally comfortable, with some offering sea views, but several guests report small or cramped layouts and maintenance issues with dated bathrooms, temperamental showers, windows or heating, plus occasional noise from traffic or nearby areas. Breakfast is frequently praised, while evening or bar food and prices draw mixed comments; cleanliness is mostly good yet inconsistent, and facilities include paid parking and pet-friendly policies, with internal stairs, a lift outage and occasional refurbishment inconveniencing some. Best for practical short stays rather than a luxury escape.

We had a very enjoyable stay for a couple of nights staff were excellent in every way, so lovely to find a nice hotel whet your dog is treated as well as you. My only gripe would be the evening meal which I’m afraid was poor compared to the one we’d had the night before at my daughter’s hotel, probably would help to provide a couple of really quality choices rather than a full menu, however we would most definitely go back to the hotel

The staff were friendly at reception but the young bar member of staff was rude when they needed to close early due to a lack of security! The older gentleman on the bar however apologised. Room was very dated and the shower kept changing temperature and burning me. Location wise it’s excellent if you don’t mind a nice ten min stroll to the tower and other attractions

Currently being refurbished on the 3rd floor but clean. My only dissappointment was there is no WiFi. Breakfast was good with a variety of cerials and cooked food. Parking is available as advertised on your site but you are charged a £5 per day.

It was a building site on our floor got woken up to workers and construction noise. There was mold in the room it didn't seem clean. We were meant to stay for 4 nights but left early. Our bed was meant to be changed 2 nights in but it wasn't. The staff are lovely and helpful I don't blame them. Hotel is just a bit run down. Random seagal also got into the building at one point.

We have stayed here before in a standard double room, so thought we'd upgrade to a superior deluxe double. But in fairness the only difference we could see was some bathrobes in the wardrobe! Previously we'd had a view over the sea front and a good sized room with a very adequate ensuite on the first floor. The room we had this time was about the same size with a bigger bathroom, but only because we were on the ground floor in a disabled room. We had no view as the window looked out onto main road where people were walking and driving passed and also over looked by other hotels, so had to keep both windows and curtains shut to stop prying eyes and noise!!! Although the room seemed clean initially, when we turned on the bedside lights and they shone up the wall we could see large amounts of dust!! Also because we were in a superior room our bed was two single pushed together to form a superking, however the duvet seemed to be a double in a king-size cover. We were also located next to the toilets for the bar and restaurant. Overall for the extra money very disappointed this stay. Would probably look elsewhere next time.

Overall a good experience, always stay in this hotel for an overnight stay in Blackpool. Had a good nights sleep, bed was very comfortable. The hotel is an old building and could maybe do with some TLC in some areas , stairs and corridors however the room was super clean. Didn't have food on this occasion but on our previous visit the food was lovely.

The staff at this hotel are lovely and friendly, the common areas like bar, lobby, breakfast room are all modern and clean. We paid for a superior room with sea view - it did not look like the one in the photo! They have chosen the best photo so you may not get that. In addition the bathroom was old and tired - and had poor ventilation- it made the whole room smell a little bit. We paid a lot as it was Pride weekend ( we didn’t know) but I don’t think we got fair value.

We managed to get on the car park but if you can't there is another little car park a minute down the street. We are already planning to stay again in the summer. It was a great find.

Good location for walks on prom, trams and access to Blackpool centre. On the sea front with resteraunt facing the promenade, with sea views. As long as you're not expecting the Ritz, you should be satisfied with the £50/night paid. We stayed one night, not sure I'd want to stay for longer due to noise of families in adjacent rooms. Bedroom was ensuit but a bit cramped & tired.
