Provider-sourced guest reviews.
After a slight hiccup with trying to find my booking on their system, the staff were brilliant. They apologised for a technical issue beyond their control and upgraded the room free of charge with a complementary drink at the bar for both myself and partner. The facilities were perfect for what we needed and there wasn’t a single thing wrong with the place. There was an extensive choice for breakfast with great service.
There are no comments in any negative way. Our expectations were exceeded
Modern, spacious, clean
The price . A tad high
Very friendly staff, rooms easy to access, pleasant and clean
Drinks a bit pricey
Ideally placed by the train station.just what we needed.breakfast was amazing,so much choice.trams available if we didn't fancy walking.very enjoyable stay and very reasonable price.we would definitely go back again
Fantastic hotel exceeds expectations, staff , hotel , breakfast all amazing
Surrounding area, talbot road very rough
I liked everything, the check-in, room and dinner
Nothing all was lovely we only stayed for 1 night
Trying to book breakfast before we arrived at £12 as per your email. We were told by a members of staff at reservations that we had to contact booking .com. After speaking to 3 different people with me reading the email to a manager we were told breakfast date would be honoured and booked at the agreed rate.
Fantastic service and a beautiful hotel
N/A
Reichhaltiges Frühstück, freundliches Personal, Sitzecke im Zimmer
Wenig Handtuchhalter und Ablageflächen im Bad
Room and bathroom generally good, reception on arrival was good. Cleanliness of common areas was good. Parking for £12 for 2 days
Cleanliness of room- net curtains had a brown mark I am hoping was only chocolate and nothing worse. Restaurant service for evening meal very disjointed. Food was good, however we were advised to sit anywhere by first staff member and she saw where we sat, then a second female came some 15 minutes later to take food order (only when she looked over to our table while she took the order of the table next to us - who had sat a good 10 minutes after us) at which point I said we needed a drinks menu, she took our food order but no drinks menu came, the starters were brought out by a third staff member and he then took our drink order. The drinks did not come until after the starters were cleared. Then a fourth staff member brought out the mains. At no point were we checked on if everything was ok. Each staff member was polite and professional but the restaurant was not busy so the service was very lacking. When we wanted to leave and pay again we had to go and find a staff member.
It was lovely clean and comfortable . Very modern interior
Everything was to a high standard
The property is next door to Blackpool North rail station and is easy walking distance to the sea front and the winter gardens and opera house. Great breakfast, spotlessly clean rooms and helpful friendly staff in all areas of the hotel.

Goed ontbijt en goed restaurant. Parkeren met korting aan de overkant,
Slecht weer haha
Everything the staff were great
The restaurant platform 9 staff and food within the complex running separately was great
Holiday inn staff attitude ,women this year on reception. Checked in left bags at 11am told to come back by the bloke , 2pm went back the lady said you can't have your room till 3pm yet others were being given door keys , then my request i booked from on system for a front room was denied and was put in the noisest room at back with no sleep 3 nights, loud music next door bar from flying handbag till 4 to 5 am . It was not fair , I won't be returning They had a empty room where I wanted and was not allowed it , it was not a nice experience this year . The room opposite was the quieter room and the window view i wanted .also she sparked and told me I never booked a double room which I did and had proof. I'm done with this hotel last year was absolutely perfect over my birthday this year a complete disaster with the check in and room .
Good location close to the train station and everything you need also you can get the tram from the Holiday Inn
Nothing everything was okay
Breakfast was excellent , great selection ,well.set out location great just right for the venues we.wanted.
In our bedroom two single beds , we would have preferred a double.
Very clean, friendly staff. Excellent location.
Nothing
Well situated with easy access to the town centre, easy walk to the seafront and direct access to the tram stop, the train station is also close by, the standard of cleanliness was excellent and the staff were very polite and helpful .
Could not fault anything during our stay.
The place itself and its general ambience was great. The staff were lovely and the hotel is really near all facilities and entertainment. Transport systems are all nearby and very reasonable. The rooms are lovely and the food was great
On a 4 day stay the rooms had not been replenished with clean towels etc . However Reception provided all we needed anyway when we asked
Lovely clean room and great facilities.
Amazing breakfast
Very clean , comfortable beds, great location

We like everything about holiday inn this is why i came back. Only thing we could have done well with some complementary water which was surprising to me.
Some complementary water.
The food was first class we usually stay at the Premier inn but thought we would have a change, and wow, Joshua sorted our rooms from reception, ensured all was well on arrival was very professional in checking in and telling us what, where and when. We had evening meal just all perfect nothing re-heated thanks you team, the service at evening meal and breakfast was just the best.
I was in room 315 and the music from over the road was very load until very late but thats is out of your control, unless you put triple glazing in
The hotel is in a great location. Next to Blackpool North Train Station. The tram stop is close to the hotel. Winter Gardens and Blackpool Tower is 10 mins walk away. Received a warm welcome from the reception team. The hotel was exceptionally clean. Great food. The hotel staff are so friendly and helpful. We are already planning our return visit.

Good value for the money

The room was spotless.cumfy bed.
Breakfast a bit iffy eggs hard one day not cooked properly the next.
We booked in after another hotel was very poor. This hotel was exceptional
Nothing. Very good
Excellent location Comfortable beds Friendly staff
The air conditioning was broken which was disappointing. The air conditioning is also on a timer so when it did eventually work it kept turning off automatically. Rang to reception to request a jug of tap water and was told it would cost £5 for room service ! Never ever heard of that before.
I love the Wi-Fi connection it was going very well but is not bad at all
Not really
I love the location of the property, it’s so clean and comfortable, serene environment. It’s a home away from home
Nothing
Great location , good facilities, very clean bedroom, good size, well equipped. Lovely breafast with lots of choices. Easy parking. Superb overall.
Couldn't fault
The hotel was right near the train and tram station so it was easy accessible if you didnt want to walk. The hotel staff were amazing, we got a room upgrade at no extra cost and the whole experience was fantastic. The evening room service was also of a high standard
There was 1 male staff member on reception throughout the night whom was so rude towards us when trying to ask basic questions about breakfast in the morning
Spotlessly clean Modern Comfortable Central Comfy beds Nice showers Great food in restaurant Friendly staff
Very very busy upon check in Not enough staff on to cope Rooms still not ready at 4pm However this was quickly rectified
It’s central

Great location. Hotel was spotless and looked brand new
Had problems working TV
Nice, clean and well maintained, family friendly
Nothing to say! Perfect stay in a perfect hotel!.
It was worth every penny paid.
Nothing came to mind to be honest.
It’s a new hotel and can’t really be faulted. Staff were superb. It’s just I was travelling with my elderly father who is a little deaf and the guests children were making a lot of noise. Not a bad thing really but the hard surfaces do little to dampen the racket and there is nowhere set up for them to play.

Everything about the Hotel was first class
Nothing at all
Lovely and clean
The mattress was a bit lumpy but we all enjoyed our stay
Great location , very clean & modern . Food was fantastic in platform 9
Very clean, helpful friendly staff
Close to train station & town centre. Staff very good, hotel was clean.
Nothing wrong with the property. A bit expensive considering only in there 17hours.
Right near train station. Good size rooms. Staff friendly
The fridge had not been cleaned, last guests rubbish in it.
Room was spacious , very clean and had everything needed for us during our stay. When we arrived the pull out sofa bed wasnt made us , quick trip to reception and within 10 minutes it was made us for my children .the staff was so polite and nothing was to big for them to do. Hotel was clean , food was wonderful and good amount for money spent. Would definitely stay again and have recommended to family and friends
Only down fall was the car parking situation, we had to use the multi story car park and had to carry everything over the road which with 3 children was a great pain . Car parking facilities on site would definitely be a lot better or if not maybe help for larger group with baggage .

Beautiful hotel, this place couldn't have been any better, friendly staff, immaculately clean easy walking access to to local attractions
Nothing, everything was brilliant
Location was great parking excellent lovely room
Twin beds not doubke
Staff were fantastic, kind, polite and helped with anything that we needed
The price of the food and drinks were a little expensive for the portion size of the food and the drinks were also expensive for how much you got
Really enjoyed our stay here . The hotel it’s lovely and very modern. Breakfast was great , and a good selection each day ,even for fussy eaters . Room was a good size for me and my two teens ,had a lovely view of Blackpool tower . Staff were very friendly,will definitely be back and would recommend to others .
I like how clean and tidy and modern it was

Yummy reasonable priced brunch.Really friendly staff and really nice facilities .Free early and late check in with free membership sign up .Very spacious accessible room.
Coffee Machine is didn’t have instructions and was tricky to use.Mini fridge wasn’t secured to the cupboard so was wobbly
The location was central for me.Close to the train station
They didnt change my pillow cases
Mycket bra hotell!
Priset. Det var dyrt.
The choice at breakfast was pretty good, the cooked items were really nice, although there could have been more fruit available. The restaurant was easy to find and easy to use
More fruit available, and maybe peanut butter as I like that on my toast
We arrived at the last minute for breakfast but were still impressed by the choice available.
There was nothing I didnt like everything was lovely, food, staff friendliness, surroundings.
So close to rail station great when coming from Manchester Airport by rail. Lovely modern hotel.. accommodates all needs and so close and with short walking distances to all amenities that Blackpool has on offer.
Loved everything about the Holiday Inn . Will definitely go back again.
Handily located opposite the railway station. Decent sized room with a large comfy bed, big sofa with coffee table, large TV (but strangely limited channels, unless the controller needed a degree in remote operating which is possible). Decent bathroom with large walk in rain shower. Good drink making facilities including kettle and coffee machine. Breakfast was also very good with a decent vegan selection with vegan sausages available on request.
Location, quality of room, friendliness of staff. Late night bar facilities were very pleasant.
Dynamic pricing - I was forced to book on the day as the landlord of my other apparrtment cancelled the night before. £638 for 2 nights is too much and my wife was checking on her phone and the price had jumped to over £900. There was no bath (just a shower) or breakfast with this room....
Servicios, limpieza, comodidad
Todo fue excelente
Stayed here many times and never fails to impress. Staff are lovely and can't do enough to help. Location great. Rooms very comfortable. Got upgraded free due to IHG points which was nice
Great location and nice modern facilities
Beds a little hard
Das es keine Fenster im Zimmer gibt, nur Klima Anlage finde ich nicht so gut. Die Sauberkeit ließ sehr zu wünschen übrig, die Bettlaken und die Bettbezüge waren schmutzig, musste ich austauschen lassen. Die Tagesdecke und die Zierkissen waren mit Haaren voll und fleckig, könnte man weglassen, ist sehr unästhetisch.
I booked this hotel because I wanted something reliable and it delivered. We had a really smooth and stress free stay. Staff were excellent. Great location by the main railway station and close to Blackpool Tower
The twin room had a double + a sofa bed rather than two proper beds which wasn't ideal really especially for the price which is hardly cheap.
Excellent breakfast, everything you could ask for and plenty of choice. Staff were friendly and polite and couldn't do enough for you. Hotel was spotlessly clean.
There was nothing I didn't like, everything was excellent.
Excellent location
Everything was good
Restaurant and bar..helpful staff
No opening window in the room
Brand new facilities. Staff with excellent services. Good breakfast.
Location to the train station and nearby bars. Not far to walk to the sea front for my elderly mum. Room was a good size and very clean. Breakfast good.
We did not enjoy the dinner in the restaurant. The chicken burger was over cooked and not much of it with far too much crispy batter. The cheese beef burger was also poor, very little cheese. The lettuce and tomato that came with the meals was very limp and inedible. The restaurant staff were lovely so we did not complain at the time.
The cleanest place in Blackpool . We highly recommend eating at Platform 9 restaurant . The food was tasty and fresh
Good staff, comfortable and clean room
Parking OK but extra and a multi-storey
Fresh and contemporary.
No cash allowed.
Lovely modern hotel. Central location. Staff very friendly & helpful. Room modern & clean.
Sofa bed consisted of a duvet put on top of sofa cushions rather than a proper bed coming out of a sofa.
Very comfortable bed and quiet location.
It was great!
Customer Service of all staff was great! Friendly and attentive. Room was exceptionally clean and very comfortable.
Nothing to fault at all.
Such a nice place!!
Hotel perfectly placed for easy access to all the attractions and venues with tram stop and train station on the doorstep. Absolutely fell in love with the SOAK toiletries, just wish they were available to buy. Debbie in the restaurant was absolutely fantastic and turned a bowl of porridge into a work of art!! Loved the cleanliness of the hotel, in fact we loved everything about it
There wasn't anything not to like. Everything was spot on and the lady on reception even managed to source us a rubber shower mat
Clean and comfy, great location
Noise at night
Wife is disabled so the room and spacious hotel was perfect for us.
Could not fault anything.
Modern hotel, large well equipped accessible room, great check-in process and generous breakfast
No on-site carpark, and the loading places are quite limited in busy time. Upside is the secure carpark (over the road), register rego at reception for a good discount
