The Derby Hotel

Traditional authentic Blackpool B&B. The Real Deal. Lovely Hosts Tim and Ivan. Large Breakfast delicious and very tasty.

All Good.

The fact I didn't feel alone when on my solo trip. I felt like part of a family

Everything. The host was so nice and accommodating. It was my first time in a B&B style place and it was exactly what I imagined and more. We got offered an upgrade for a small extra cost, which made the experience even nicer. The breakfast was very customisable and was basically 3 courses - fruit yoghurt and/or cereal, and an English style breakfast, with juice of choice and tea or coffee. The bed was comfy, the room was clean, the TV was working and we had a side sea view from a big triple window which made the room very bright. It is only a 15-20 minute walk from the central part, but it is very quiet which makes it perfect for a place where you actually want to sleep. The host gave us some tips on the local attractions and let us check out late (I was very tired after a party), which was very kind and the kind of human approach we really appreciate. He also allowed a late check- in as our train was coming in late. Great place for a good price, highly recommend :)

The breakfast was 8-9 which is a little early. This is not unique to this place at all but in general I don't like little plastic shower gels and shampoos. There was a little solid bar too, which was great, but I hope that soon places will transition to plastic- free alternatives (like hair&body minis from friendly soap company). Really not much to not like, really nice place with a really nice host :).

Very knowledgeable owners who gave us tips to save money in Blackpool e.g on tram. Nice location on seafront. Great breakfast. Room dated but clean and had everything you needed.

Shower did keep going hot and cold.

Lovely host. Super helpful. Great breakfast. Perfect location for the festival of running and a short walk or tram ride into the centre. Enjoyed our trip to Blackpool.
