Guest Reviews
- Paul (2/5): - Only stayed one when I booked for two the window was broken made a noise all night so we left at 6 am the room was tiny not big enough for two people. We had two hand towels to get a shower with. The worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in
- Jamie (2/5): DO NOT BOOK - Superior double with sea view, room 19. Bathroom - smelt of urine, ceiling light fitting hanging off, sink not secure, mouldy shower curtain, shower disgusting, bath towels paper thin. Bedroom - wallpaper hanging off, water streaks down the walls, mould on the ceilings, skirting boards filthy. Window - lock broken, filthy window, could hardly see through. Smelt so bad. I have nothing nice to say about this place.
- Lisa (4/5): - Well where to start.. upon arrival we were checked in early and shown to our room. We booked a superior double room sea view. The room was tiny and the window catch was broken so it didn’t shut properly. It was blowing a gale outside and was cold and noisy. The owner agreed to swap our room but no sea view . The replacement room although was bigger had 3 beds in it the cleanliness was the same dirty walls and hairy skirting boards. Pulled out the single bed to close the curtains to find it fill of rubbish .. a bun and wrapper an inhaler under the double bed just generally needs a good clean and lick of paint. The carpets are all frayed and need replacing. We were disappointed because we booked going off of the pictures it looks so nice. And when you walk in it’s clean and tidy but to then be shown to a room that clearly is dirty how can you be proud to do this. Could be a nice place to stay just needs some tlc.
- Tina (6/5): A place to rest - Was what you expect in Blackpool, we were upgaded to a larger room so suspect some are small, was clean bedding and nice comfy bed, bathroon could do with a little tlc but didnt affect us cos we just wanted somewhere to sleep, no musty smells infact it smelt really pleasant, if your not looking for luxury this is the place.
- Susan (2/5): Extremely disappointing - Extremely disappointing, it’s not what it advertises, holes in the ceiling, rooms dusty, showers rusted, was given dirty towels, was told we had to be in by 12am. First room offered had no heating, door handle was hanging off and damp. Wish I’d took photos
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Room wasn't that great there was a blacket/throw on the bed that had hairs on and wallpaper around the window was peeling off and the cups for the tea and coffee wasn't clean it was old looking not updated like others...
- Rose (2/5): - PLEASE DO NOT BE FOOLED!! THIS HOTEL DOES NOT EVEN DESERVE TO BE CALLED A HOTEL!! Me and my husband needed a place for the night as we had been travelling on the road for a long time. We only booked this hotel as the check in time was till 11.30pm. When we arrived the person who checked us in was quite rude. He asked us what we was doing in Blackpool in such a demeaning manner. He also asked where we were coming from which came across very inappropriate. The room is nothing as pictured. I wish I had read the reviews as many people have said the same. The room was a box room; the state of the room was disgusting. The room smelt of damp. The toilet light did not work and the bath as a whole was extremely tiny that i felt claustrophobic. We couldn't even find the person after to tell him that the light wasn't working. We returned the keys and left. I would have much rather slept in the car then to have spent the night in such a room. Yes the hotel is opposite the sea but what's the point when the entire atmosphere of the hotel and room feels like something out of the film Psycho?! DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE PRICE!! I'VE PAID THE SAME AMOUNT AND HAVE GOTTEN AMAZING ROOMS!!!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - If you're just after a cheap clean bed for the night it's fine . Small basic and clean .Owners friendly , welcoming and helpful .
- Mr Nomaan (2/5): Horrible !NEVER AGAIN - Terrible! We was given a used room!!! Someone had already been inside! One of the bed was was not made , Dirty towel was on bed , used tea cup! ! It was SHOCKING ! No one was at reception to talk to. Because It was late , we asked for a late check in not a USED room!!. - Also the mattress weren’t comfy at all!, the room was dirty! , towels were dirty, floor was dirty and shower was horrible. - the next morning when we spoke to the manager, he said the beds are new. ..NOTHING ELSE! -We didn’t want to argue so we just left and thought we’ll just leave a review.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Not bad for the money - The room was small and very basic but for around the £30 mark we couldn’t really complain. Good location on the sea front.
- Verified traveler (8/5): value for money - would stay again, not good for people with limited mobility as alot of stairs
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very nice room was clean staff were lovely right by the beach , went with my 3 children ended up staying another night .
- Verified traveler (4/5): - location was the main good part of this hotel. The rooms were awfully small with stains on the bedding. The rooms walls are very thin and this caused a huge problem at night bc we hardly slept and oh the mattress had a spring feeling on the back, very discomforted. The owner was arguing with this wife at 9am as we were getting set to check out. We left behind sliders (sandals) in the bathroom but we went back to look for them, they said they were in the bin? Not about the money but why lie as my mrs tied the bins and left them to aside. Unless the sliders slid across the floor untied the bag and slid in! Overall this place is a 2/10. We stayed for 4 days and was terrible not even an okay. Whilst sat in the lounge the owner was always arguing with other customers which is okay but ruins the mood lol. Anyways thanks for reading and thank me bc this hotel is quite disappointing, before it was too late.
- Catherine (10/5): - Very friendly welcome Beds were the most comfortable I’ve slept in in blackpool
- Kay (10/5): We had a lovely time, thank you :) - Very cheap but clean and comfortable
- Verified traveler (10/5): - After reading a lot of negative reviews thought the chimes on sea excellent value .Room small but very clean .In perfect location .Hotel staff friendly and welcoming .Lovely view over sea .Would not hesitate to rebook on another visit to Blackpool .
- David (10/5): - Fantastic stay
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very friendly staff and let us keep our stuff there after we cheaked out so we could spend the day hands free
- Freda (10/5): Friendly reception and very helpful staff - Booked at the chimes for a long weekend with the family the reception we got was really friendly if we needed anything all we had to do was ask. We were also helped with getting our car parked safely for the weekend at the guest house next door and it was not over priced. It's not the Ritz but if your on a budget it's just the place for people to go to. We have booked again for later in the year as well. Thanks for making us all welcome.
- Hayley (2/5): Disappointed and not slept a wink - Horrible partner did not sleep we left at 8.00am as fella come out in rash was itching all night and room was far too hot in a box room with heating on full all night felt like was being sufacated would never go back
- Jan (8/5): - Lovely stay
- Tracy (8/5): Great location & friendly owner! - This was a great location as it was right in the middle of the promenade. Rooms were small but adequate & the owner was lovely, nothing was a problem to him. Would stay again!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Lovely friendly hotel in a great location - Lovely friendly hotel in a great location
- barry (4/5): Perfect location - as we arrived we couldn't enter the hotel as the door we're locked.there was no host to check us in we had to wait up to 5 minutes . The front door was a pain to open with the silly looking keys. The room desperately needs a bit of tlc as the wallpaper was chipping away there was stains on the front of the bed , the carpets were disgusting had black marks all over ,there was rubbish in bedside drawer , there was no milk and tea provided and the tv was too high up you felt like you were breaking your neck to watch it . The sea view we're lovely . And why have a dining area with no breakfast facilities so that was 88 pound wasted In my opinion. we was in room 5 also when we checked out there was no host to give our key too so I left them on counter with a hand written note and parking omfg! Stay clear it's impossible to park had to pay in a car park several streets away
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice hotel and very friendly and helpful, close to beach and walking distance to everything I needed.
- Tj (8/5): Nice enough hotel - Nice enough place. The room we were given was a family room 1double bed & 1 single bed for my daughter, the room was very small so for a 1 night stay was adequate, but wouldn’t have been able to stay more than 1 night in this room, but overall stay was ok, plus didn’t get a breakfast with price but wasn’t a major problem
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Poor hotel in need of a refurb all areas require redecoration, no heating in room . Poor....,,!
- Verified traveler (4/5): Close to attractions - Small room damp above window, pillows didn't smell nice bed up to wall my husband had trouble getting out to bathroom in night without waking me. No breakfast available. Toilet didn't flush properly. Kettle was dirty on arrival but they did clean it when made aware of it.
- sparky (2/5): in need of mordernisation - we were absolutely freezing as there was no heating at all.
- S&D (6/5): 2 night stay - Clean rooms but cramped and in need of redecorating. Staff polite and friendly. Good central location oppersite beach.
- Warren (10/5): The Chimes on the sea - A very nice hotel to stay and the location was fab.
- Meg (8/5): Ideal Hotel - The hotel was lovely, right in the centre of everything. Staff were lovely and let you leave your bags after you've checked out so you don't have to carry it with you. Only thing was rooms were a bit smaller than advertised but was ideal for our stay! Would stay again and recommend to a friend.
- lee (2/5): disappointing hotel - booked a 2 night stay here but only lasted a night, the noise there of a night is terrible, and it was all night and thats no joke, i told the owner of the hotel in the morning about me leaveing and the noise and he did say he would refund me for the night i wasnt there, but guess what he hasnt, he just said that to keep me happy, anyway terrible hotel
- Verified traveler (8/5): quiet, comfortable and very reasonable - owner very helpful, printed out details to help me reach Southport. Able to store case on final day before leaving in the afternoon.
- Merissa (10/5): Highly recommend - Lovely simple room, cleanliness was great and staff were very friendly. We will be booking here again.
- Verified traveler (8/5): i needed a break and your hotel was fab - just wat we needed room was good only stay one day but no faults i enjoy it pleasantly
- Angela (8/5): Chimes on the Sea - Room was very small but that's all you need. So much to do....your only in your room to sleep...staff were welcoming and friendly, I will stay again
- Tina (4/5): friendly staff - very friendly staff. place was dated. the room we stayed in bed very uncomfortable. dusty and looked dirty. they did have White duvet covers and towels wish was clean.
- GAFF (8/5): close to beach - hotel owner was spot on n helped all time he even carried our bags to room
- Cyndy (4/5): Sea View - We booked a Sea View room and after walking to the 2nd floor, with bad knees, we entered a small room with an even smaller bathroom. Half of the beds head board was blocking the window for our sea view. The room was dirty with shoe marks on the wall by the bed. The room is in need of a paint job and the bathroom shower broke first time we turned it on. Our bed was not made at anytime during our 4 night stay and our coffee cups were not changed during that time either. Even though it was a non-smoking room, we could smell cigarette smoke coming from other rooms.
- Kirsty (4/5): - It was okay. Room was very small and felt like was thrown in a corner and forgot about. Never seen the host until was handing the keys back
- Lisa (6/5): Bad Drains, and broken bed... - Sajeed did a great meet and great took our bags to the room. Unfortunately the room was far too small for 2 adults to spend 5 nights in, and the bathroom had the most unpleasant drains smell which permeated the room once the door had Been opened. I had to go buy bleach to put down the shower drainage hole immediately, and bought an air-freshener too. The bed was really uncomfortable which in part was due to the bed base being sunken and a folded blanket placed in the gap!!!! The mattress did not have a protector / cover over it, just a sheet straight onto the mattress, eugh!!! We needed to get under the bed to find something, and wished we hadn't bothered !!! There were a few peoples lost belongings under there. Sea view, and larger double rooms were available to other people throughout our stay and considering the number of nights we booked for I think we really needed to have one. The price was too much for what we received, and I would not stay there again.
- claire ann (4/5): wouldn't bother - Pulled the beds out and it was untidy room was far too small prices tags still on the pictures in the room
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Last minute booking, happy with price and location.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Only draw back was no fridge in bedroom so you could have a cold drink as no bar in hotel
- Gaz (8/5): Excellent location - Enjoyed my stay and location was excellent right on the sea front. Didn't see the staff often but they were nice when we bumped in to each other. The only thing I thought could have been better was the cleanliness of our room. Don't get me wrong it was adequate but stuff like skirting boards could have been wiped over now and again and maybe the bed could do with pulling out to Hoover down the side at some point. I would definitely stay again though and recommend it to people. I may even return at some point myself!
- julie (4/5): Felt like I was staying at someone's house . - Felt like I was staying at someone's house , felt like I was intruding on them . Room was a bit squashed . Didn't want to do breakfast
- Rachel (8/5): best hotel in Blackpool. - As we were the first guest to arrive the hotel manager actually offered us a upgrade to a Seaview double room at a lower cost than if we had booked. The room was beautiful the service was fantastic my partner said the best part was the fact we were able to leave valuables with management. Was a great location right in the middle by the Central pier. Will define try be booking to stay here again. Honestly you will not find a better hotel.
- Alex (8/5): brilliant value for a very reasonable price! - Had an amazing stay at the chimes. Management and staff were amazing couldn't do enough to help. Offered to look after our luggage after check out so we could have a last few hours there bag free. And I can not complain at all about the cleanliness spot on all the way we will definitely be back in September for our anniversary. Thank you
- Louise (8/5): All the fun of the fair - The room was compact but perfect for a place to rest your head. Being close to Manchester Square, ment the tram was easily accessible.
