The Albany Hotel

This is not actually a hotel it’s a guest house, it does not do breakfast or evening meal and there is no longer a bar. Whilst that did not bother us it would be good to at least get the description correct. The hotel needs some basic refurbishment, mostly painting and a bigger tv in the rooms, gone are the days when a 14” tele is acceptable.

The location is absolutely perfect, 5 minutes away from coral island and Blackpool tower and the city centre. Also 5 minute walk to the sea front where everything is, very central. Train station is about a 7 minute taxi ride but it’s also in walking distance. The owner (which I am assuming) was there on hand as soon as we arrived and helped carry our bags to our room. There is also a free pool table in the reception area. The room it’s self was very basic but had tea and coffee facilities but as I knew we wouldn’t be spending a lot of time in the room it was exactly what we needed. The shower cubicle was very small and the shower head wasn’t in the best position. There were towels on the bed on arrival but they were very small not bath towels so would advise taking some extra towels. Tv worked perfectly for winding down when we got in. Down fall is no cleaners go in daily to make the bed or change the bedding, change used towels over or put toilet rolls in or change the bins but the owner on our 3rd day did ask if we needed anything in the room and did replenish what was asked off. The owner would have done this earlier than it happened but as we were out of the room a lot we never crossed paths. As check out was at 10am and our train was a little bit later we were able to leave our luggage in the reception area and the owner also put my sons iPad away safely instead of leaving it in our luggage. The owner was also very helpful in ordering a taxi to the train station.

Bed comfy but only good feature in room. Poorly maintained property. Staff friendly but tried to overcharge for parking.

Pros 7 minute walk to all the shops and coral island Room 3 has a very comfortable bed Both the room and bathroom was clean Large storage cupboard for all your clothes and suitcase Negatives Unusual procedure when you arrive has you check in at another hotel then collect your keys back at the Albany hotel Loud people above the room 1 night but after phoning the owner he soon sorted the situation out and apologised to us

We arrived to a warm welcome by the hotel owners and they were very helpful. The hotel is excellent for access to the town centre and beach and there's a few cafes nearby. The hotel would benefit from some upgrades

Welcomed upon arrival, room on top floor and exactly as described, twin room, clean, tidy and perfect for my needs. Bathroom was clean, sheets were freshly laundered, had read some bad reviews but for a very cheap price I was provided with exactly what I needed, basic, clean accommodation. Parking was available nearby on roadside, beware, car park prices are exorbitant for overnight parking!

Property was good for what we needed it for. It was local to where we were visiting so very convenient. Property needs some TLC (deep cleaning and redecorating needed). Staff were friendly.

Ideal location for Winter Gardens, where we were going Saturday night. Close to Tower and we parked on a drive 2 streets away. Can pull up outside to unload. Room a little tired but adequate for what we needed. Comfortable bed

Never go to this hotel it is scruffy dirty and very neglected no body to complain to they are never on site.and below basic. For £50 a night with no food on premises

For the price we paid for this hotel we had an excellent stay, we had two rooms adjoined by a bathroom giving us some privacy from the kids, everything we needed was available. When we asked the manager for four extra pillows it was no problem, parking was available at an extra cost, the hosts were lovely and couldn’t have done anything more. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be returning in the future.

Location ideal for what I needed. Room stank of smoke, bed sheets didn't smell fresh. Room, carpet, bathroom floor and furniture filthy. I didn't expect much due to the price but I did expect it to be clean. I didn't complain as I couldn't be bothered I was out all day so just somewhere to sleep and leave my bag. I certainly would not use this place again.

I know I wasn’t booked into a 5⭐️ hotel but I did expect it to be clean still. From entering the hotel it wasn’t clean in the hall way or our room. It wasn’t like the pictures or description. Only paid £49 so you get what you pay for I suppose, however it was supposed to be more which it definitely isn’t worth more.

Very basic, clean standards poor, its perfect to drop your cases off and get your head down, really needs a deep clean

Hotel smelt musky shower was dirty no electricity on the Sunday would not recommend to stay there again

My client walked out minutes after checking in as it was too dirty to even contemplate staying in

In all my 57 years of been alive I have never in my life been to a more disgusting hovel and I have gone to Blackpool since I was a teenager room was disgusting toilet was hanging off the wall shower was vile we had to put towels over the bed because of stains and filth I honestly would never reccomend this place to anybody not even stag or hen parties its a total rip off and the photos they put on the web is totally not how it is absolutely shameful, we only went for one night thank the lord otherwise we would of come home

Check-in was okay owner was friendly but we never saw anybody again after that, even on checkout. As soon as we entered our room, there was a very strong smell of Febreze or something equivalent and when I checked the bed as it was all creased and bobbly, the pillowcases felt damp. I’m not convinced the bedding was washed, just sprayed. There were hairs under the pillowcases and the bedding had blood stains. The chair in the room was stained. Plenty of cupboard and drawer space, the bathroom wasn’t too bad, hot shower. Overall the room just felt dirty. There was grime on the light switches, around the sockets, the skirting board. It wasn’t a very nice stay.

Room give very dirty light in room did work you only had table lamp heat in did window did close i did stay 3 night i left room very cold

Sorry I thought the room was dirty , and the towel smelled, no plug for the sink , someone had cough up green and was on the wall nearby the mirror it put me , the bathroom smelled of urine ,brown stain on the carpet ,sorry I won’t be using Expedia again ,£50 pound a night ,in a dirty room

Dirty room, dirty shower. Stained mattress, cigarette burns on bedding. Broken window that wouldnt shut. Ordered a double room and got a twin. No staff around. I'd add photos but its not letting me

Pros 7 minute walk to all the shops and coral island Room 3 has a very comfortable bed Both the room and bathroom was clean Large storage cupboard for all your clothes and suitcase Negatives Unusual procedure when you arrive has you check in at another hotel then collect your keys back at the Albany hotel Loud people above the room 1 night but after phoning the owner he soon sorted the situation out and apologised to us

Really nice welcome very helpful comfortable beds shower not so powerful

Windows jammed shut nearly broke hand trying to open them room smelt mouldy the taps in the sink just about worked .the bed was so uncomfortable we were stiff and numb when we awoke .also people walking upstairs all night as the floor boards creaked so loudly above us terrible stay wont go again

It was basic but ok for us...shower not up to much .

Cheap and chearful. Bed cumfy. Nice staff. Great location.

Ideal location for Winter Gardens, where we were going Saturday night. Close to Tower and we parked on a drive 2 streets away. Can pull up outside to unload. Room a little tired but adequate for what we needed. Comfortable bed

The door to bathroom didnt close and the shower lacked all over the floor in bathroom

Have stayed here a few times and does the job. It’s clean, comfy bed and great value for money! The staff are lovely too!

Water taps not working

The room was clean but heating was more centrally controlled and was not maintained to right temperature so the room was cold, bath rooms are just ok

Small en suite room. Comfortable for one night stay. Near sea front. Booked on line for 20 pounds. When got there guy tried to charge me 50.

Owner was absolutely fantastic room was warm due to high temperature gave us a fan and tended to all of our requirements room was clean and the town was right on doorstep thanks for great stay booking up for October

Hotel was basic but clean, the beds were very comfortable but there was a strong drain smell coming from the ensuite. Staff were very friendly on check in but didn't see any one for the rest of the weekend.

Lovely family that run brb. Very friendly and was clean room

Really welcoming staff and very helpful fantastic room everything u need and want

Owner went above and beyond, me and my sister booked a twin room which happened to be on the 2nd floor, he noticed my sister wasnt as mobile and offered us a twin room on the ground floor, which was a massive help as she was able to walk further and out longer, we also had use of a microwave which again was no hassle, quite central to all amenities in Blackpool.

The property was clean and quiet and the owner and his family couldn’t do enough to help you.

An enjoyable stay close to every thing in Blackpool very quiet and all amenities would definitely recommend
