Friendly staff,place was reasonably clean
There's no kettle in the room,even though there was an empty fridge, room smelt of smoke from the last person,even though there are notices everywhere stating no smoking allowed !! I was given a half empty can of air freshener and the window left open to air,the bed was ok on one side as the other side was broken the facilities down in the basement was taken over by a large family booking,who made you feel very uncomfortable trying to use the kitchen/games room/lounge upstairs and trying to get a shower or use the toilet was a nightmare and they were extremely noisy at night running around up and down the stairs,so sleep was impossible!!! ...I understand the reason of a £20 returnable deposit,but I strongly disagree with them taking a photo of my passport, surely that's breaking DATA PROTECTION?? I definitely wouldn't recommend this place unless you're desperate, I really did not feel welcome.

We enjoyed our stay at Backpackers Blackpool. The owner was very pleasant, helpful and patient. The kids had a great rime in the games room, library and lounge. They also enjoyed the comfort of the garden where they played different games every evening. I admired the fact that we could self- cater and had do much kitchen equipment to our disposal. We weren't limited to one toilet and bathroom, there were several to use. We also has a hand wash sink in our bedroom which was very useful. I slept comfortably every night for the 7 nights we were there.
There can be more electric sockets in the room as having to charge 2 tablets, my phone and a headphone with only 2 socket and 2 USB sockets with the TV and fridge plug in was a struggle. Make sure you have a multi USB hub

The location is spot on! Parked in The Houndshill Shopping Centre which is seconds away. There is a great cafe in the corner and we could walk everywhere we needed. We love the games room and the treat vending machines. It was lovely to see a framed graffiti board from a visit we had in 2019. The man who runs it was lovely too.
A few shelves in the bathroom would have been good to put toiletries on with us theee girls.

Another fab stay for us, I have reviewed a past stay and still can't fault the place :) staff lovely, nothing is an issue. Quick & simple check in. Beds and bedding are so comfy, everything was clean and tidy. Mini fridge is so useful to have, especially with 2 kids.
Just the fact the toilet was a shared one along the corridor, but that's not an issue with the hotel. Other rooms have an en suite and I was fully aware I had not booked a room with an en suite, but could do so in future :)

Room and shared areas were clean and bright, our room was fairly small but we expected this from the pictures and it was plenty big enough for me and my son for the week as it had lockers and drawers to store our things out of the way.
The room had a fridge in and the laundry area has basic cooking appliances which was a huge positive for us and made the holiday less stressful as we deal with food allergies and eating out was always a worry.
Staff were really friendly and helpful throughout the entire stay. We slept really well and were surprised with how quiet it was considering the very central location. The lounge and games room were a nice addition too that we enjoyed relaxing in between our activities.
We will definitely be back next time.
