Hotel Sofia Blackpool

Great price for the location and good to have the option of parking at the property.

Lovely host made sure we had everything we needed Clean rooms Nothing wrong at all Excellent

Hotel is central and 5min walk from coral island but was not signposted very well so nearly drove past, it looks like it has recently been renovated but they haven't done the bathrooms as was old and dated and had black mould, shower was very small and as a larger lady I had to squash in, there was no curtains just vertical blinds so very bright of a morning luckily i needed to be up and out early. There was nobody on reception when we arrived but pressed the bell and a polite gentleman came, i asked for 2 fans for 3 of us and he said i could only have 1 which is fine but in this heat needed one for each bed....there is tea and coffee in communal area but nothing in rooms and nothing of an evening that I saw on my 2 night stay. Parking smack bang outside property charged at £10 per night. Would I stay again yes but hopefully with a shower I can fit in.

On arrival the outside of the building give off a run down feeling, I felt disappointed , the on line photos of the rooms made it look much nicer. Check in was fine we were in room 3 ground floor. It was very small with the bed against the wall, and had a very old run down bathroom, with no window or vent. The bedding looked badly creased , so much so I threw them back , I’m still not sure if it looked un- ironed or previously slept in. Either way why was it left looking this way. A few little touches like folded towels, a bottle of water and a chocolate were on the bed. I had nt paid massive amounts for the room but unless other rooms are better, I won’t be recommending it. There were people coming in late in the evening which I totally expected, but the banging of doors and people talking in the early hours made for a disturbed night. You can hear people in the rooms next to you there is no sound proofing. Word of warning, the hotel dose have private parking, which I messaged several times to book with no answer until the day before. But there are only 5 or 6 spaces. But right next door is a pay and display car park , which we pulled in ! At a whopping £18.30 for 24 hours, that’s a lot of money if you’re there for a week.

Unfortunately, I was unable to stay at this hotel because on the day of check-in I was informed that the hotel had a power outage and could not accommodate any guests. While I understand that unexpected situations can happen, I was disappointed that no alternative accommodation was offered. Instead, I had to look for another hotel while I was already on my way. This caused a lot of unnecessary stress and inconvenience. Although I eventually received a full refund, the process took time and had to be handled through Expedia. Unfortunately, I would not choose this hotel again.
