Had an amazing time at the Doric with my 7 friends making memories. Food was delicious great choice to choose from. Room was clean and spacious enough even though there was 3 of us sharing. Would like to say a massive thank you Louise for looking after us at meal times and to Matty for the great service at the bar. Overall all staff where always polite and very helpful. Hopefully return sometime in the near future.

Hotel facilities brill. Food excellent. Staff amazing and so accommodating. The only down side was that the lift wasn't working n with 3 adults with mobility issues using the other lift was a long trek along corridors n through 4 lots of doors which one had a step with walking aids was quite exhausting.

Great hotel, excellent staff especially Louise who went above and beyond for us at dinner and breakfast. All the staff are lovely and friendly, great location some rooms in need of a refurb, but will be returning again. Laura at reception also went above and beyond for us thank you see you all soon

Food was excellent. Entertainment not bad for a hotel. Restaurant staff superb, but reception staff need staff training. Couldn't really answer simple questions.hotel was cold. Rooms were very cold at night. Heating was never on. Reception said " it's on a timer " Sorry it wasn't. Other people complained.all they did was give out electric heaters for bedrooms and switch on a few fan heaters around the hotel. Very tired carpets. Threadbare in parts. This was in may 2022. Open for season. Won5 be returning

Just returned from a 2 night stay for the Grand National at Aintree. The hotel has its own entertainment and is lovely inside and ideally placed with a tram stop outside. Food is outstanding with lots of choice. Rooms are lovely and clean, I have no issues. Staff are friendly and courteous. 5*. Would recommend.

The hotel was nice and clean, good atmosphere, great nights of entertainment and the staff were very friendly. I would definitely go back to the Doric Hotel again as my daughter loved the pool and her favourite act was the greatest show, also the bingo caller made her laugh, he was great, they were all amazing. Thank you to all the staff.

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel like we were family from the young lady on reception to the bar staff and waiting on staff they could not do enough for you. We had a great room with sea view. The food was delicious Entertainment was fantastic especially Caine Ward big shout out to Paul the entertainment manager a superstar got everyone going he made us feel like he had known us for a long time. Highly recomend this hotel you enter as a stranger and leave as a family member

79 yr young mother stayed at Xmas. Room had no heating management didn't want to know. Portable heater placed in room on third day. Heating finally fixed on 5th day. Changed my opinion of the Doric.no apology or order of refund. Shocking service for the price paid.

I have just come back from Monday to Friday at the Doric room 130. I was supposed to be staying at the park House but was moved because of work been done. From check in staff to waiting and bar staff everyone was so friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Truly felt like home away from home. Also the food was good sized portions and of good quality alot better than when I stayed at the royal seabank last June.

Lovely place and staff are really friendly. Food is basic but everything cooked well. Could do with a refurbishment in places as run down. But overall lovely stay

Staff were lovely and helpful. The hotel itself is very tired and in desperate need of renovation. 80's decor throughout but enjoyed my time. If some money was spent on it it would be ideal

Blackpool was fab as always. The Royal Seabank was very disappointing due to our Suite having a leaking roof and very rude staff but when we got moved to the Doric hotel it was I'm pleased to say FANTASTIC, lovely friendly staff and very welcoming. Eventually a great night full of laughter had by all. Xx

On our last night at the Doric, what a great hotel friendly helpful staff great food fabulous entertainment. Room great nicely decorated, spotless bathroom, comfy beds couldn't ask for anything more, the housekeeping staff work hard to keep everything spotless, all round in every department the staff must be complimented on their hard work. Well done Doric will be back when the weather is a bit warmer thanks for a lovely stay

Really great hotel. A little dated, lots of OAPs, it is what it says on the Tin what's great are the staff, bar area, breakfast and location they sell tram tickets, and we loved that there was a stop across the road (uncle Tom's cabin - Cabin for short) and we were hopping on and off all along North, Central, South Pier, which was brilliant for someone with mobility issues. What a great 1 night stay to see the illuminations xx

We booked last minute for a little staycation. We had a warm welcome given a sea view room (the MargaretAnn Suite) a delightful vintage room with two oversized double beds, jacuzzi bath that was fantastic. Cooked breakfast was lovely and the swimming and spa facilities were a lovely finish to our short stay.

I've only given it a 3 because the room was clean, wifi worked and when the entertainment noise stopped downstairs I had a full nights sleep. Other than that I've stayed in hostels that had better service, 30 minute queue just to check in and trust me it wasn't the size that was the problem. I read in a recent review that the staff haven't been paid in months, no surprised.

Great stay at the Doric Hotel! Brilliant facilities, excellent breakfast, really friendly accommodating staff who even offered to go and get me paracetamol at 9pm do to a nasty headache I had. All that & a fantastic price! Thank you Doric Hotel, we will be back!

Stayed here many times and always satisfied. This time it lacked the 'homely' atmosphere I am used to. Beautiful refurbished room but small. Excellent menu and food, good evening entertainment ( except Bingo which not everyone enjoys) friendly staff. Excellent value for money.

Arrived at the hotel and checked in and was given the room key. The room key was broken so we weren't able to get into the room so it took about an hour of messing about to get a new room key sorted. Finally got into the room which was fairly clean except for a large stain on the roof. The room was also dated and the bed wasn't too comfortable. The evening meal was poor quality and the menu was not clear at all.

The evening entertainment was very good actually so cannot fault them in anyway with that The first nights sleep was awful due to it being so warm in the hotel because there is no AC but I'm not blaming them for that. We did ask for a fan for the room on the second night but we never got it even though we were told we would get it. I asked at reception again and he told me he would get it sorted but obviously, it wasn't so we had no fan for the second night.

The breakfast at the hotel was good but again, the menu was like it had been written by a child. The staff overall were poor in my opinion. At one point the bar manager spoke to my partner and I with disrespect by swearing at us. I also overheard the same bar manager swearing at his staff in front of all the customers. Overall, i wouldn't stay here again. The only positives are the breakfast and the entertainment. The staff are poor, evening meal was poor and the rooms are fairly poor.
