I liked the friendliness of the host: the location (opposite south pier) & the room(sea view). The hotelier was very kind & on seeing how lame I am, gave ma a room on a lower floor. I would happily stay there again. There was confusion reaching the hotel because a rival, calling itself the Sands Venue, is under construction & the name is so close to the Sands that I can imagine other future guests getting confused. The upstart venue should be made to change its name

We stayed over at the weekend, great room for the price. Big enough for my family of 4. Room was clean & fresh bedding & towels available along with a kettle & tea & coffee facilities. Only downside was our eldest was gutted the tv had no signal - not a bad thing though really. Would return in the future.

I liked my room 4, lovely seaview room so great views and looks right onto the south pier, all rooms are shower only; lovely lady Claire - nice to meet you Claire. Plenty places to eat nearby hotel, had a nice lunch at Wetherspoons which has plenty spaces to eat, some tables on the rooftop. The hotel does not have any meals but that was OK; hotel is spoilt for transport options with tram stops and bus stops right opposite and now you can get a tram direct from Blackpool North Station to either up north or down south. Some guests may not like the bingo games from the south pier as you can hear it from the room, starts around 10am till 10pm, though I quite enjoyed hearing it. Lovely being there for the switch-on of lights, my first time and also my first time staying down south, I'm usually up north. A lively area whereas up north is quieter. Very reasonable to stay at this hotel too. Will return soon!

Disappointing Hotel Despite the Location
This is not a hotel where you would want to stay for either a short or long holida….it’s something else entirely, and frankly, I’m surprised such a place still exists in the UK. It’s disappointing to see such a lack of standards in the hospitality industry. To be fair, we were a group of five (2 adults and 3 kids), so perhaps others may have a different experience. However, aside from a place to sleep, this hotel has absolutely nothing to offer. I am truly at a loss for words to express just how let down I am. The only redeeming quality of this hotel is its convenient location next to Pleasure Beach and directly opposite South Pier. Highly not recommend it, pay a bit more and get a decent hotel in this area.

On arrival we were greeted with a dirty pair of pants in the bathroom. The tap in bathroom was stiff and wouldn’t turn off properly the shower was awful no power and smallest shower head possible was told there was toiletries but there isn’t as only on a 1 night stay took none luckily a spar round the corner. The room itself was dusty & very hot then to complete it all in the morning turned on tv for my little niece to watch but didn’t work. Plus point il never have to go to this cesspit agai.

Friendly greeting when we arrived. Only a couple of small issues, the shower door was broken so we couldn't use the shower properly, but it was sufficient for the kids to wash off the sea water from their legs. The only other issue is that we booked a family room, which was on the top floor, I'm just glad our kids are older and didn't need carried up all the stairs. But that's not an issue with the hotel, just a mild inconvenience. Room was tidy, well insulated windows drowned out the sound of the pier at night, keycard access to allow you to come and go as needed. It seems like the building is getting upgraded and worked on, good luck to the proprietor with the works.
