Guest Reviews

• Kayley (1/5): Shocking - Nothing it was disgusting, we left Everything from the leaking ceiling holes in the walls and exposed wires, fag ends and hair all over the place, not one since inch of that place was clean I would not, the place wants burning to the ground it’s the most disgusting place I have ever stepped foot in
• Simon (10/5): - Absolutely everything
• Paul (1/5): An absolute nightmare - Absolute shithole rooms were full of mould toilets and showers didn’t work there was no televisions in the rooms and we booked a family room on booking.com but when we arrived at the property the woman said she didn’t have any family rooms available bearing in mind I had all the confirmation emails and further to that she tried to double charge us for the room questioning the price of the room on here definitely the worst place I’ve ever stayed in, would rather sleep on a blue Matt in a police cell SHITHOLE WOULD NOT ADVISE TO STAY HERE Everything
• Barr (6/5): -
• Adam (10/5): -
• Neale (6/5): - Close to the south side nice staff bit of confusion over some other guest having a parking permit but was resolved in the end Parking is a nightmare
• Guest (6/5): -
• AMWATSONuk (1/5): AVOID AT ALL COSTS - Nothing this has to be the worst guest house in Blackpool if not the whole of Britain Everything, the lies on booking.com The whole place is a dump
• Wendy (7/5): Great location and helpful staff - Very clean . Great staff and location Outdated
• Barbara (1/5): - Overall, only the location is good, nothing else. This house is nothing like the photos. We had a nightmare. The rooms stunk, the beds (and mattresses) stank, and we couldn't sleep on them, so we had to use our own towels. Two children were bitten overnight. There was no toilet paper in the bathrooms, the shower was filthy, and moldy. The shower room also smelled of mold, and the door was broken, requiring two people to stay in the room to keep one person at the door. People would enter the restroom without knocking if someone was inside. There was no respect for anyone. The kitchen was in a terrible state, dirty, and smelly. You have to pay a deposit for the keys, and they won't give you the full amount. They rob people. That's all I can say. I don't recommend this place.
• Guest (1/5): Horrible - Didnt even get a proper room as they sa8d they had double booked so had to stay in basement wasn't good.
• Prisca (8/5): Lovely people/staff - They were really welcoming
• Guest (1/5): Awful - Nothing The worst property I have ever stayed in Was disgusting,messy around the whole guest house No blinds or curtains so baby was awake all night No breakfast like what was advertised No cleaning done whole weekend Had to pay for a key to get back into the property No towels provided Beds were awful Mould over walls Dirty bathrooms, toilet broken
• Smith (1/5): Don't stay at the san Diego Blackpool - Nothing i paid 150 pound for 3 rooms they only gave me 2 my son had a 1 year old with him should have had a cot in room there wasn't they gave it to someone else the rooms were filthy shared bathroom was disgusting with black clotted hairs in the shower I want a refund we left didn't even stay it was that bad had to drive 120 Mike back home 😢 I didn't like the smell of stale fag's in the room and the mould all over the curtains and the false advertising it was terrible ruined our break totally tried to get the travellidge over the road but fully booked absolutely pissed off
• Lucious (1/5): Bad - The place was closed, and I assumed it was open since it let me pay for it, and I had to pay for another accommodation, and I want a refund
• Stephen (1/5): Bad - Did not let me in Did not let me in
• Caroline (1/5): Absolutely disgusting the worst hotel ever I want my money back I had to spend 70 odd pounds on clothes due to my clothe - Nothing There was bed begs absolutely disgusting my as a customer I should of been told before sleeping they had bed bugs
• Burke (10/5): Exceptional - I love Chelsea she is brilliant an i defo wanna see her again Everythin was fine
• Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
• Louise (1/5): Wouldn’t waste time or effort booking this place. I’ve not even got a refund for it! - Nothing. Firstly I didn’t like anything about this hotel, I walked in and the smell would of made you sick, I arrived early at the hotel the women answered the door was wearing short shorts and a vest top not very professional if you ask me, she couldn’t string a properly sentence together and looked like she had either been on something or rough from the night before, when I asked to use the toilet as my 7 year old daughter was in desperate need she says yes the toilets here the one that’s used for the FULL hotel. At this point I couldn’t brace myself, we got into the toilet poo marks around the toilet, dirt all over the floor was disgusting. When walking back do the stairs a man clearly out his face walked down after us at the point I knew there was no way myself or family were staying in this hotel. When I called the owner to discuss all this he says I’ve just took it over and will be making big changes, nothing else other than that I’m not sitting weeks on without a refund I had to pay for a new hotel. A absolute shambles of a place. Hope the owner sticks to his word by saying big changes will be happening as this place certainly needs that.
• Rebecca (6/5): They are very friendly it was under new management so I understand that some stuff aren’t what they said in the booking - They are very friendly it was under new management so I understand that some stuff aren’t what they said in the booking but overall it was an amazing stay Nothing
• Sarah (10/5): Great location. Amazing manager. - Chelsey the manager made us so welcome!! Our children couldn’t wait to see her everyday. She is a credit to this hotel. Nothing
• Kieran (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent hosts and customer service. Will return next time. Thank you
• Tom (10/5): Exceptional -
• James (6/5): Would probably stay again but would wait till they are properly situated - Got a nice welcome, got them at a bad time because they had just taken over a week prior. Climbing stairs as I am disabled
• Maria (8/5): Right Near BPB! The Most PERFECT location! - The location mostly, and the new landlady is lovely There is no phone signal in the hotel. AT ALL!!!!!! I'm a vlogger that runs some groups, I NEED the Internet!
• Connor (10/5): Price to value ratio was genuinely astounding. Great place! - The guest house is in an absolutely ideal location (being right next to pleasure beach) and was an undeniably good stay for the low price point. The ownership was changed recently, and the new owner and staff were lovely. The only gripe would be that the showers a little bad, but bar that the room was genuinely amazing. The shower was quite bad, (water pressure, heat dial etc)
• Amwatsonuk (7/5): Good -
• Ren (7/5): Good - Chelsea was personable and diligent, taking over management a mere 10 days before our stay after the hotel had been shut for many years prior. She gave us a warm welcome and explained how everything worked. The room was comfortable, and more-or-less what we expected - a cheap-and-cheerful stay within minutes walk of Blackpool Pleasure Beach. At the rate she's going I expect it'll be an even better place to stay as time passes.
• Fiona (5/5): Passable -
• Amwatsonuk (6/5): Under New Management and a work in progress - The guest house has just reopened under new management and at the time of my visit was definitely a work in progress with lots of improvements required however I am sure these will be forthcoming in the weeks ahead. One area of the business that unquestionably does not require any betterment is the wonderful customer service from the new host, Chelsey, and her team who provided me with first-rate, friendly, professional and efficient service from the outset of the stay, tremendously hard working nothing was too much trouble to make the stay as comfortable as possible. The rooms are above all clean and pleasantly presented however, the décor is tired and in need of modernisation. The bed are comfortable with good mattresses, duvets and pillows that aided a good nights sleep. A chair would have been welcome. What was disappointing and annoying included the television not working or missing the vast majority of the Freeview channels plus the Wi-Fi being very temperamental in terms of speed and connectivity. The communal bathrooms are where the most work at the guest house is required, the lock did not work, they need a deep-clean to remove the stains and dirt from surfaces including the black mould in the showers, the toilet flush was not working and décor was also in need of bringing into the modern era.
• Mcglinchey (10/5): Exceptional -
• Liam (10/5): Exceptional -
• Aaron (2/5): Very poor -
• Bridie (9/5): Superb - Friendly staff lovely place fab night sleep
• Barr (8/5): Very good - The customer service was great, all my questions were answered and the owner was a very positive friendly host when we arrived. When we arrived the facilitys out side of our room could have been cleaned up abit better. Our room was great but our bathroom was dirty as there was stains on the toilet such as vomit and the shower had dirt on the floor with stains down the glass. All I recommend is the for the bathrooms inside the rooms to be cleaned. I also recommend for the owner to ask for proof of bookings as he didnt ask me when I arrived. Overall it was great stay for the price. Owner was very friendly but too trusting as when we arrived the owner informed us with information that was very concerning to use and made use feel unsettled and unsafe with are stay as he mentioned that he had to change the locks due to a previous situation which involved the police which caused unsafty for the tenants that was saying at the time.
• Kim (1/5): Abysmal!! - I had one of the worst nights ever at San Diego guesthouse since the new owner took over from Mary. (Yes I miss her now she has retired). I did stay here regularly but since last night it JUST wasn’t the same! Last night I had to make a very formal complaint TWICE to say that a HOUSEKEEPER had put lost property clothing into MY suitcase. Thank goodness I had a spare carrier bag and separated it, not only that 2 ITEMS of MY BELONGINGS were stolen! (yes. A radio and my extension lead I had brought from home!) thank goodness I had got them back. Then the complaint was finally resolved, myself and Ethan had our money back in cash so we shared it to £25 each as the room was £50 for 1 night. (That was a good thing as I demanded it. I didn’t appreciate to be treated like this!) The description of the room. The cleanliness was inadequate the sink was not touched. Room was not hoovered. My bedside table STILL had traces of sugar and traces of rubbish. The bedside lamp the bulb was loose so I tightened it to make the lamp work as I however sleep with the lamp on every night. The skirting boards was not touched I found piles and piles of dust on them! It didn’t have any tea or coffee facilities but it did have a kettle spoon and milk jug. The BATHROOM was inadequate wasn’t clean. Myself and Ethan will NOT be staying here again. After everything last night I was furious!
• David (10/5): Exceptional -
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
• Donald (8/5): Very good - Nice and warm room Was fine
• Tyne (1/5): Gross - No toilet roll, there was food under the bed.. 2 of the beds hadn't been changed
• Leighvy (1/5): Absolutely terrible won’t be staying again - Bedding was dirty and clearly not been washed in ages Windowsill dirty and had dead black ants on it. Main door was dodgy. Owner went in our room without our permission whilst we was out. Carpet not secure and was a massive trip hazard. Bathroom dirty and toilet didn’t flush Damp in the room and when told my partner was pregnant and couldn’t be in a damp room he didn’t care. Cables had been joined together and did not feel or look safe at all Everything
• Kelsey (5/5): Passable - The room was not clean it wasn’t what it looked like on the pictures
• Karan (3/5): Once was enough. Never again - The location was perfect We had arranged to check in at 4.30pm but on arrival the hotel was closed and owner was out shopping. We were told to go back in half an hour and still hotel was closed. Sat outside waiting for owner to arrive back. Entered hotel and it was piled up with boxes and tables and the owner sat us down for half an hour telling us about all his bad experiences with guests. No breakfast on offer and was told if we wanted anything to use the kitchen. No complimentary coffee or tea bags. One large towel provided for two people
• Lisa (1/5): Bad - Ot was atrocious all the beds were dirty the sheets the facilties and the children felt uncomfortable around the owner who kept walking onto our room when we was asleep everywhere was filthy the bedsheets toilet and locks didn't work on rooms...on one night I had to be let in via the workers entrance through a scary back alley in to the garden hotel was not secure for me my friend and her four young children would never visit or book there again! Vile Hotel everything was dirty and unsafe hotel
• David (1/5): Bad -
• Leanne (1/5): Bad - Nothing Traveled over 60 miles to be told they was no availability. But I booked on booking. Com and got comfamation.. When we turned up the people wear in bed.. And they looked like drug users.. Absalute stinking. Hotell no apology nothing. Absalute discusting.. Completely ruined out trip and we had a baby with us
• Nicola (7/5): Good - Location is great, staff were down to earth and helpful. Warm clean room. Got a parking ticket as missed the permit only sign so no parking nearby unfortunately.
• Lew99 (1/5): Awful, owner does drugs and the whole place is the worst I've ever stayed - Nothing The owner constantly knockeing on my door, he told me he was on drugs yesterday and was totally inappropriate, there was no hot water and when asked he told me it was not his problem to fix
• Patterson (10/5): bloockpool. over night stay - right next to the pleasure beach fair clean tidy and very reasonable price even given a parking permit nothing
• Neil (5/5): Ok - Nothing Nothing
• Abbie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Clare (7/5): Rooms are very basic - The room was very basic. But that's fine. And there's everything you need. It's just a little bit dated.
• Karen (4/5): ok if you’re not fussy but I wouldn’t stay again - good location no parking, car park opposite only takes cash. WiFi code didn’t work and no signal at all at back of accommodation where our room was.
• Darren (1/5): Bad -
• Shaun (5/5): Great location, potentially could be a great hotel if it wasn’t for the bed mattress I would have given a much better ra - Location was really good, and very quiet no stag or hen dos in the hotel which was good as I was travelling with my young daughter Very dated, and the mattress on both beds were in very poor condition which made for an uncomfortable nights sleep
• Scott (7/5): Good -
• Ian (6/5): Pleasant -
• Robin (3/5): Some room mouldy, uncomfortable beds, got bites from bugs. Untidy. Friendly owner. -
• Deborah (10/5): Exceptional - It was nice and clean staff was friendly and we would go again and I would tell my family to book them We liked all of it
• Sam (5/5): Ok for budget cheap one night stay - The owner was lovely The bathroom was very dirty we didn't use it
• Chinelo (10/5): Exceptional - The Host Negweny is awesome. Resourceful and very helpful. The Host went the extra mile to sort my parking. Breakfast,milk, snacks etc. the room is very comfortable.Great Value for the price
• Sarah (7/5): Would stay again - Lovely friendly guest house- the owner couldn’t do enough for me and my little girl. Fab location too
• Natasha (10/5): The man who owns it couldn’t be more accommodating and was so helpful! I had a purse stolen in the pub and he helped me - Perfect location. Beds comfortable Safe little rooms I was happy with everything
• Andrew (8/5): Would go back - It was quite great location had everything I needed in the room
• Laura (1/5): Absolutely disgusting - Nothing Shared toilet was disgusting. Room was filthy beds had bits of wood holding them together. If I could have found somewhere else to stay at short notice I would. This hotel is just a doss house. Rooms made up in lounge area no bar as advertised and no breakfast, not that I would have eaten in there anyway. The manager also said I had cancelled the room after our stay probably so I wouldn't leave a bad review. Avoid at all costs
• Philip (10/5): Exceptional - Gentleman that booked us in was very friendly Nothing to dislike
• Katie (7/5): You get what you pay for - The man running the place was very friendly and kind. Our room and beds were clean, the bedding was fresh and we had what we needed in the room. Upon entering it didn't smell too good, the cluttered office doesn't look professional and is off putting straight away. The owner couldnt find keys to our room and was unorganised. There's no parking, permits are needed to park on the road outside and there are wardens patrolling so it's not worth the risk. The shared toilet/shower was old and didn't look clean.
• Sian (1/5): Shit dirty and very back dated - Took over 40minutes just to get in the building then the woman had to wake a man up and move to another room then wasn’t going to give us clean bedding I paid for a bathroom in the room which I was advised it had a sink staff unfriendly and rude Everything the sockets was tapped to the walls
• Emily (7/5): Good - The host was so lovely and the guest house was so close to the pleasure beach was ideal for us Sharing a bathroom
• Kirk (10/5): Exceptional - san diego was great , bed was so comfortable my son loved it . it is situated in a great spot just across the street from everything you need really . and lengweny was a grat host wil definitely be back thanks for having me and my son we were made more than welcome see you soon
• David (1/5): I travelled there for 2 nights, what you see on the Web page does not reflected the reality, place - Nothing, the owner said he took it over 6 months again, main front room was like a derelict office area. Everything, the front door and windows had hand written A4 style notes advertising the room prices, looked very unpleasant and had no kerb appearance. Hallway was dark and very messy/unkempt looking. Bedroom was like something out of the 70's, decor was poor, bed sheets were on the bed inside out, room was very unclean looking, overall rating gir the room was 0.
• Karen (1/5): Bad - None. It’s totally different in person.
• Roxanne (10/5): Exceptional - Owner was amazing went above and beyond for myself and my children
• Ceejay-101 (10/5): Brilliant Guest House And Host 😊. - Everything. Negweny was a great host. He was very friendly and welcoming. We had a nice long chat on my arrival. The room was comfortable, cozy and warm. Nice bed and en suite bathroom. The following day Negweny insisted I sit down for breakfast with himself and another guest. The breakfast wasn't included in the price. So this was a nice personal touch. He also made the best smoothie I have ever tasted, which was mostly carrots 🥕, but disguised the taste with apples, lemons and limes. He also let me leave my luggage at the Guest House whilst I was sightseeing. I will definitely visit again. Do not listen to guests who have left bad reviews. They are simply not true. I will 100%, stay at The San Diego Guest House, And I recommend anybody reading this review does the same 😊. Everything was excellent 👌.
• Susan (8/5): stay in Blackpool - close to the beach and just a tram ride from the town no facilities for food but a good place just round the corner for all your meals had to share a bathroom with another room
• Samantha (1/5): Terrible never again…should not be allowed to take booking - Nothing Absolutely disgusting,nothing like the photos or the reviews,should have never been charged for this.nit the rooms we booked and paid for.no toilet paper no towel dirty bed sheet.no dining room dark cold and should not even be open
• Patricia (3/5): Ok - Didn't get breakfast The room was cold
• William (7/5): Good -
• North (2/5): Not a great experience - The gentleman was very lovely and extremely helpful The room wasn't clean, the window wouldn't close, we had no light bulbs in our lights
• David (4/5): Disappointing -
• Melv (6/5): Pleasant -
• Jay (1/5): Ended up having to pay more than double elsewhere with it being desperate to find somewhere. Boys left upset when they d - Nothing unfortunately Booked, got my confirmation. After travelling 2 1/2 hours to get there with my 2 boys I got there and got told my booking didn’t exist and I didn’t have a room. I showed my booking email and they said the same thing. After explaining my situation I got told perhaps another guesthouse can help me down the road. Stuck in Blackpool left to find another hotel. So so disappointing after seeing positive review off others.
• Ron (10/5): Exceptional - Loved it staff grate will go back
• Sarah (2/5): Avoid at all costs - Turn up already paid for the hotel and they was no booking Poor service
• Andy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Georgina (7/5): Good location and quiet at night bed was comfy - Good location Needs updating our shared toilet the shower didn’t have a door on it.
• Burns (6/5): Good for the money , brilliant location - How close it was to the pier and the pleasure beach good location . The owner was really nice , lovely gentleman
• Alison (7/5): A lovely day at the seaside with a comfy bed and in a prime location for the pleasure beach - The location Comfy bed Price Downstairs was a bit of a mess, looks like they had just moved in.
• Madan (1/5): Very bad - Nothing rubbish never ever seen anything like that Nothing.carpet ripped bed like its been some sleeping
• Laura (8/5): Very good -
• Joseph (10/5): Exceptional - People location gave us an extra room for free.top budget hotel Top budget hotel
• Garth (3/5): Poor -
• Blandford (2/5): Miss leading - The other guests were quiet atleast. The reviews left must be regarding a past owner. The hotel was neither clean or provided the service past travels have recieved. There is no bar, it's been bordered over. It is not clean, in fact its filthy, I took several photos showing this. It does not feel safe, my rooms door was cracked around the lock, with enough push you could have absolutely broken into my room and with some ease if I were to be honest. The owner seemed nice enough but the add is not remotely what is paid for. Perhaps one of the cheapest hotels in blackpool I'd agree but I could've gone to 1 round the corner for £9 more and had the bare minimum of a clean room. I won't be returning. I assumed at first the "pay at the property" was to ensure the host recieved the most money, rightly so. Now i realise its a con so you've no way of a refund and therefore forced to stay in the "hotel" or loose all funds. Given I'd paid for 3 days this wasn't a option for me. There was a board hanging from the celling, I wish I could add all photos as there was a tub with coffee in growing black stuff placed next to the bed.
• Rafiqul (1/5): Very bad separat bathroom form the bad room - They give me parking but they take £10 form me . I give them deposit £50 form parking permit but they return me £40 because they don’t have change it’s shame. Nothing they don’t offer anything even 1 bottles of water.
• Katrina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sean (1/5): Would rather of slept rough on the street. Honestly dont know how this is operating at a high standard on booking.com - Nothing at all, how this has its rating so high is beyond me The host answered the door in his boxer shorts for starters, the reception room was as an absolute bomb site and disgusting
• Victoria (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly staff, good service and a homely atmosphere.
• Catriona (6/5): Handy for attractions - Just steps from the pleasure beach and the water park. Owner was a very friendly man. This is absolute no frills accommodation so if it’s just a bed for the night then it’s perfect but it’s not the sort of place you’d want to spend any time in. Free supply of bottled water which was a lovely touch. Carpark directly opposite which is £14 for 24 hours - coins only so take cash! No bar or sitting are as shown in the pictures - that area was a dumping ground which was our first impression on arrival. The bedding didn’t fit on the bed and kept coming off. The room was dusty and surfaces had sticky bits and ring marks. No clean cups.
• Sara (9/5): Superb - Very friendly atmosphere and few foot steps from the theme park and pleasure beech so outstanding experience and location
