Core to our belief is that we should provide good accommodation and a hearty breakfast at a fair price. Located on New South Promenade, across the road from the beach and approximately 2 miles from the Blackpool Tower and it;s World Famous Ball Room The Waldorf is a 3-star hotel with free parking, free Wi-Fi, elevator access to all floors, 2 bars, and a sun lounge where you can sit with a coffee, read a book, or watch the world go by. The vibrant Blackpool Pleasure Beach is just a 5-minute walk away and the nearest tram stop is about 100 yards from the hotel.

Just need to say room 108 needs a good overhaul. The only positive was clean bedding and towels, windows were locked shut, lights on the ceiling full of dirt, toilet seat did not fit correctly, shower had a broken holder so we had to wedge the hose behind the pipes. The shower was dirty and mouldy on the seal, door did not close, paper coming off walls. Window in door all cracked, front doors hard to open as constantly stuck. Totally rundown Not a great experience for 150.00

On arrival the hotel was freshly painted outside, when inside theres a very open reception area with seating which makes all the difference as i can't stand still or walk for long periods due to a spinal injury Steve the owner was very pleasant and made it clear if we needed anything while checking in he would be happy to help. I took the lift upstairs but there was also a one way stairs route so you wouldnt meet anyone coming the opposite way.
When we arrived to our floor the carpets were new and thick you could feel the plush bounce under your feet and the corridors smelt lovely and fresh. On arrival to our room our rooms were clean our beds well made and towels put out for each of us we booked the family of 5 room. There was tea and coffee making facilities complimentary biscuit packs.
A tv and remote in each room, a hair dryer handwash and shower gel in the bathroom. The next day while we were out housekeeping remade our beds, washed our cups and replenished tea coffee and milk. On arrival back to the property Steve was lovely and chatty its nice that he was interested in our stay and offered us plates and cutlery for our take out.
We had a drink in the bar where there was a vending machine for pringles a pool table and large tv we enjoyed a peaceful drink and my husband and son played a game of pool my youngest also learnt how to play pool for the first time. There were covid screens at reception and at the bar to. We had another comfortable nights sleep. The hotels temperature was perfect after getting cold outside we soon warmed through once we got back to the hotel. We will be booking again.

Stayed here over the weekend with a large family group! Had read previous reviews and have to say they are unfair! Our experience was great, hotel is in the process of upgrading which you can see via brand new carpets etc in the bar/ lounge/ halls etc and signs in reception to let you know that there is workmen coming and going but none of this affected our stay not once.
Whole hotel was very clean! Rooms were great and very clean also! Brand new curtains, fresh white bedding, clean towels, tub, With daily housekeeper, tea and coffee options in room, also coffee machine in the bar for those who wish to relax downstairs with one. Also access to toilets downstairs so no running up to the room for the loo, No chef at the moment but it didn't matter as the continental breakfast was great!
Owner is a very nice gentleman who is willing to go above and beyond for his guests, even when we did keep him up till late in the bar on Saturday night. He even bought us all a round of drinks on Sunday! We will defo be booking for next years family Blackpool trip. Ps it will only let me upload 10 photos but book and see for yourself how great it is thanks Steve see you next time

We arrived, checked in and went up to our room in the lift - the only time it was working in the three days we were there. Our room hadn't been made up - rubbish in the bin, crumbs on the floor, unchanged sheets. We went down and on the way met the housekeeper who had just escaped from being stuck in the lift. She very cheerfully apologised about the room - it hadn't been on her list - and came straight away and sorted it for us.
We were only sleeping in the hotel and didn't expect great things so it was about as expected. The staff were friendly and helpful when required. This hotel and the two to the north are currently all for sale as one lot, with plans to demolish them and build 88 flats in their place. Therefore as you'd expect there's no point in trying to drag this place upmarket. It's quietly awaiting its demise. As a cheap place purely to rest your head (once the room was sorted) it was bearable.

Standard of cleanliness was very poor I went and bought my own cleaning items. Every concern we raised was attended to. I would not book this hotel again I know what to expect from budget and the cleanliness was below standard. On arrival when I asked cleaner to come remove the cobwebs from our room she then left with a broken chair a dusty picture whipped rite of the wall apparently that was causing all the cobwebs, and instead of using a hoover in she pops (raging) with a duster knocking all the cobwebs to the bed I again suggested a hoover but nope just replaced the pillows. Sooo didn't even go there with the weee stains on tiles back of toilet and dnt even talk about wooden toilet seat and on bottom of the pan.
The sink taps had build up of gunk and mould all over the roof of bathroom. Stay clear. We where not informed regarding no chef so after expecting bed and breakfast nope nothing but a refund when the hotelier clearly new this service was not available before we arrived we could have booked somewhere else with elderly parents who are diabetic and with a large group with little kids had to get tram for breakfast each morning. I recommend this hotel only advertises what is actual available. A 1* if your lucky tbh.

A lovely traditional hotel, very clean, free parking with easy access to trams and buses so really easy to get into town, and just across the road from the beach. Steve and his team are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Great base for a break and good value for money, I would definitely recommend

From outside it looks rundown. Possibly closed down! Family Bedroom was functional, but the facilities were very dated and poor. The electric shower was fine, if very small cubicle. The included unlimited breakfast was great! TVs didn't work well in the rooms, light bulbs were dead, you can feel the springs in the bed mattress. Dead flies on the bathroom window cill suggest cleaners hadn't checked rooms before arrival.
On a positive note the staff, especially Steve, were attentive and excellent at sorting what they could. For the room price (120) we paid it's hard to justify coming back again, sadly. Maybe half the price (60) would be okay.
