“Pay more and stay somewhere else.”

Reviewed 14 May 2013 NEW

We stayed at this hotel in March, during a cold spell on our first visit to Blackpool. I wished I'd spent more and stayed somewhere nicer! Staff a reception were mostly rude or unhelpful , but that appeared to be due to a shortage of staff and no management about to deal with complaints. The building interior is grubby and... More

“Gone down hill”

Reviewed 10 May 2013

We stayed in the Metropole a few years ago in 2010 and found it to be excellent with a bright, clean and tidy room and an excellent breakfast thrown in. On the strength of this we thought we would stay again for a two night break. But wished we hadn't. When we got here we checked in at reception and... More

“DONT STAY HERE”

Reviewed 8 May 2013

We stayed in this hotel two weeks ago and it was disgusting. Smelly, cobwebs hanging from the bedroom ceiling, bathroom tiles dirty, windows dirty, dirty cups, breakfast inedible, stains on the bedding, stains on the walls, public toilets smelled of urine. Dont see where the millions have been spent.

“Not a pefect hotel but--->”

I have today returned from a six day half board break at the Grand Metropole Hotel. Whilst not cosmetically perfect the staff more than made up in their willingness to help with any problems that I had. It is perfectly located (being the only hotel actually ON the promenade therefore having the very best sea views) Within a few yards... More
