All the reviews say it’s bad, it’s really not bad at all it’s close to the centre. Not bad for a short stay, there was hot water and the only thing that’s ‘catfishy’ is the outside but it’s Blackpool no buildings are amazing. Overall a good stay, didn’t mind it one bit.

Property is NOT as advertised Picture is from downstairs Flat No1, we were in Flat 6 at top. Ours was in dire need of upgrading and painting. Sink plug stuck rigid so could not use. Reported it on the Sunday night, still not resolved or heard from anyone o. Wednesday morning when we left. Double bed on one of the bedrooms had slats which had not been screwed down, so mattress kept falling thru! Both chest of drawers were broken TV signal was awful so unusable. Crockery in kitchen was dirty upon arrival Stairwell absolutely STUNK!! Carpets needed cleaning and replacing We had 3 kids and did not feel safe!! Key safe needs to be replaced and took an hour to get code accepted to get keys. TBH wished it had not opened as we would have turned around and gone home. AWFUL place AVOID

Location is superb as it is few minutes walk to the beach and Blackpool tower. However, the place itself is horrible. Front door steps has got bird poo. The hallway has used linens and smelled of cigarette. As we enter the apartment, we also smelled cigarette all over the flat. Fitted bed sheet looks like it was not changed as it has full of stains. One of the window facing the road has no blind so we still have to cover it with their towel, which, by the way, we did not use as I found out that their "clean towels" are kept in a dirty cupboard with bathroom foot mat, cleaning cloths, etc. Worst,kitchen sink was blocked in which we also realised that it may be blocked for a few days before we checked in as there was a bucket catching the leaking water from under the sink.The host responds to our call immediately, however, the sink was only sorted out on our 4th day of stay after we decided to leave a day early as we cannot bear the smell, and using the bathroom sink to wash our dishes. There was also no pillow ,blanket and towel prepared for my daughter even when there was 3 guests booked in. Plates and glasses are dusty as well. Staying here is the worst holiday experience we ever had!

Where do I start? On arrival, we had to call to get instructions to enter the apartment as they hadn’t sent them by text like they said they would. When we got access we had 2 double beds and only one of them was made so we had to then call again to get them to make the second bed as there was no duvet at all on it despite us booking the room for 4 people. We then discovered the toilet didn’t flush which took them a full day to fix so we had to flush the toilet with a bucket for a full 24 hours. The bath in the bedroom didn’t have a plug so we had to ask for one for it. The bed in the bigger room was broken on one side so the two of us had to sleep on one side of the bed to get a good nights sleep. The tv was missing which had been broken by the previous guests and I don’t think they’d have replaced it if we didn’t ask. There was holes in the walls, the skirting board and tiles were coming off in places, there was mould on the walls and only one window opened. The heating kept coming on randomly. There was no toilet roll in the bathroom so we had to go buy some. The fire alarm went off every time we cooked, even simple things like pasta, but no fire extinguisher at the bracket. The handrail coming down the stairs was broken which made going down the stairs dangerous. The main entry hall smelled like smoke every time we went in and we could also smell it if we switched on the extractor fan in the bathroom. The kitchen cupboard had a door missing. No wifi, no signal in basment.

The idea of the propery was good, the interior was tasteful and as you see in the photo description. It did however look very worn and a bit run down, e.g. the flooring was chipped, the beds were broken, plug sockets were not in the wall properly, some windows didn't open. We had an issue with the key lock and had to wait nearly 3 hours to get another key. There was no internet access as described in the let adverisement (possibly because we were in the basement apartment?) so had to buy our own wifi connection through the local hotspot, which is not ideal especially when you have young children. The host was good at responses to email communication. Very close and in walking distance to the beach and all amenaties and Blackpool promenade. If they issues were sorted then we would be more than happy to book and stay again.

Unhygienic and unclean - Not suitable for a child

We arrived at the venue a little late it was around 5.45pm after a long journey. Once entering the property I was greeted by a foul smell in the corridor. I proceeded to the room finally unlocking the door and could see the property looked nothing like advertised. On top of that was unclean and unhygenic. The so called sofa bed was broken around the back, heavily stained with all white marks and when I immediately called the owner to explain there wasn’t even any sheets or duvet she told me to go in the wardrobe where I found more dirty stained sheets and smelly dirty stained bedding. I tried to liaise with the person on the phone and she said she would send someone but never did. I called hotels.com explained the situation in more detail and was assured I would be refunded. I put the keys back in the safety lock and didn’t stay there. My 5 year old child was meant to be sleeping on that sofa bed and expecting me to leave her to sleep in that conditions would have been CRIMINAL of me! The apartment as a whole was wrecked though, the side of the bed was hanging off in the main bedroom! Didn’t feel like a very safe space to stay as the lock on the door had clearly been stuck on with tape.

Lovely bathroom, other rooms need A LOT of attention. Dirty and torn sofa bed, unclean bedding on double bed, dirty floors, kitchen was basic and not very clean. Smelly and unwelcoming in the lobby area of property when entering the property and NO HEATING OR HOT WATER. Ideal location though, very close to tram stop. Host was good at replying.

As soon as we got there the front door was locked and there wasn’t a key to open it this creepy guy opened door and when we went to number 5 (the deluxe room) he started asking us for things like fags money etc later found out he was sleeping on stairs when my mate went outside for a smoke at night. when we got in the room the kitchen and bathroom was kinda like pictures taken.it was really hard to get the “hot tub” warm .the 2 bedrooms were awful there was stains on floor and on bedding and the door handle was gone and radiator didn’t work. The beds were uncomfortable and so was the sofa the middle sank in. the hall way was dodge and gave you weird vibes. The fridge smelt disgusting like food was left in there to rot before cleaning. They don’t provide toilet roll so if u dare go make sure u take some. I wouldn’t waste your money isn’t worth it!!!!

DO NOT BOOK WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!! Left my partner and I and our two daughters with nowhere to stay for the night after cancelling out booking with no explanation just a couple of hours before we were due to check in. Only advised of the cancellation by email after us emailing them with a query. Have not had any answers or explanation after trying to contact them several times. Absolutely disgusting!!!!!

Lovely place to stay, Could of done with being cleaner as i did have to wipe alot of things down because of the grime, Instructions would of been nice as we couldn’t work the hot tub properly and there was no hot water, Also could only get netflix on the tv as it would not allow us on anything else. With their being residents also there was alot of outside noise.

Meh

Check in was absolutely fine but the front door was unlocked which doesn't exactly scream "secure". The mattrass in the room on the left felt like it hadn't been changed for 20 years, it was misshaped and i didnt sleep a wink because of how uncomfortable it was. The red sofa/divan in the kitchen area had a snapped leg and had a Snickers wrapper stuffed down it so it's clear that maintenance is lacking. There was an iron but no ironing board, when i asked about this I was told that they'd get in touch with the cleaner, I told them not to rush but I didn't hear anything back so I had to put a towel on the table as a form of makeshift board. The pictures from the website compared to the actual room were completely different. I've stayed in 4* hotel rooms for 2 people for cheaper and had a much better experience than this was. Only positive was the shower, powerful and a great temperature but that's about it. Not somewhere I'd stay again.
