Lyndene Hotel, Blackpool

Staff was helpful and friendly. Good access to the waterfront. Clientele while we were there trended towards an older crowd. There were several nights where loud and profane drunks from adjacent establishments would wake us up once those places closed, but the noise was not from residents of the Lyndene. It was pretty warm during our stay and no air conditioning, so closing the windows was not really an option. (Our room had a ceiling fan and staff would provide oscillatting table fans). The side street adjacent to the Lyndene was pretty dirty, although the main street out front, along the Promenade, was clean. Nightly entertainment in the 2 lounges was okay. Plenty of places to eat within a short walk. Local tram was less than a 3 minute walk from the hotel providing easy transport all along the Promenade.

Was pleasantly pleased to recognise the hotel from previous trips to Blackpool. Parking wasn’t great at all and although parking availability for any cars would be appreciated, spaces were nose to nose (I’d hare to think I got blocked in a space!) we therefore had to pay £7 for up to 8 hours (8pm-10am is free) on the main road. Reception area was welcoming. Reception staff were pleasant but not overly enthusiastic. Inside the hotel was spacious but with an old-fashioned style. Room 53/53a was a double bedroom with adjoining bathroom. Very please with room and roomy shower. We opted for breakfast last minute in the morning and at £6per adult, this was great. There were 2 sittings but plenty available - we went for second seating. There was a female polish lady who worked in there and wasn’t very cheery but otherwise staff pleasant. Definately worth what we paid and would stay again!

Bar and lounge area was nice and looked new.room was dated with noisy fan and water pipes.bedding was clean . Window s dirty and floor very dusty. Staff were friendly

It was one of the hottest days of this year - the room was very very small - no air conditioning - no fans - the windows do not open well - just small openings high up so no breeze in the room at all. We were sweating all night long and couldn't wait to get out. The restaurant area for breakfast was also sweltering with some air con units but inefficient - you had to be right under them to feel them. Breakfast was ok but long slow queues. Shame really as the staff were friendly with good service. We had booked the room including a 2 year old child - didn't see anything about not taking a two year old child at all - can't have children under 10. They did let us off as it was just one night. Being a child he lost things under the bed and I was shocked at how dirty under the beds were. The rest of the room was clean enough. Plenty of towels and extra pillows etc. A safe in the room. Tea and Coffee but it was too hot for that!! No ramps and lots of steps. Lifts inside but no ramp to get in the hotel to the lift..... just steps. Parking was available but beware of getting parked in by someone who leaves the hotel for a couple of days. Make sure you know who is behind you, you are responsible to call them and arrange between yourselves times to move to let each other out.

ENJOYED OUR STAY WELL LOOKED AFTER STAFF VERY PLEASANT.
