Great location. Room overlooking the sea with a lovely spa bath and although furniture old fashioned was functional. Breakfast was ok but dinner was a little disappointing.Having said that, the for the price we paid it was good value for money.

Came for a short break and would definitely recommend. Ideal location, easy to find, cheap parking, right near everything the front, the nightlife, the pleasure beach etc. Clean room and no issues regarding cleanliness around the hotel, clean towels etc. Lots of facilities; hairdryer, good shower, tv etc - could have maybe done with an iron. Breakfast wasn't the best... More

First time at the Grand Metropole Blackpool. Booked 7 nights dinner, bed & breakfast in a sea view room which was spacious and immaculately clean. Bathroom fitted with shower/hydro-massage (Spa) bath. No shortage of hot water! Up-graded to the Premier dining room (Worrall). Reception staff always cheerful and helpful. Special mention to the extremely hard working chef, cooks and dining... More

On entering the hotel we found the decor clean and the receptionist very helpful. Our double seaview smoking room with spa bath was clean and tidy, the bay window with table and chairs was an advantage and gave a view of the town and sea. The spa bath was great and worth the extra money, the bed was clean though... More

I was delighted to read that you found the room to be of a good standard. I'm so sorry the food was not to your liking. The Chef is reviewing menus and service modules to ensure this does not happen to any future guest. We look forward to welcoming you back at some time in the future. Regards, Francis Sheridan....
