Best Hotels near The Salvation Army - Blackpool Citadel, Blackpool

We have just returned from an overnight stay. We had booked the suite ( coniston). Upon arrival we were quickly dealt with by reception. The hotel is running on a skeleton staff but all were helpful. Our suite wasnt ready but the happily stored our luggage so we could go into Blackpool and would call when it was ready which they did. The hotel itself is in a 10 min walk of the north pier and tower. From the outside it looks a little tired. The main door doesnt work and decor is dated. The suite however was very spacious. It stretched across 5 windows all tower facing with a great view. The only down side to this was the windows needed a good clean. The suite was modern and had 2 bathrooms a dining area a living area and bedroom. It was clean and tidy however there were noticable stains on the carpet and furniture which they had cleaned in the past. But overall was very pleasant. The bath was lovely nice and deep. We only paid 179 for the night when peak charge can be around 300 so i felt at this price it was worth it. The only thing that would of made it better and i would expect if paying top end would be a robe slippers and possible complimentary mini bar. The bed was very comfortable and the addition of a fan was welcomed. However no hairdryer! We didnt eat here as we ate at the beach house (highly recommended and it didnt dissapoint! )At this price point we would return again and plan to in the future.

This majestic building is steeped in history which really adds to the enjoyment of a stay there. We had 3 nights B&B with friends and also dined in on one evening. Food was excellent but the real standouts were the friendly, helpful staff. Not only did they help with all our holiday stay requirements they shared the story and history of the hotel - which is almost 150 years old. For an old hotel the owners have done a great job in maintaining the building and it was a warm, comfortable setting for an autumn break. Highly recommended.

We stayed here for a cheap night away with our 8 year old, most hotels were more expensive and didnt offer much as in were very small no bar or entertainment. The bar was really big and had a sea view we had a few drinks before we went out for tea. There was a dancefloor and stage. Plenty of space for my son to play around whilst we had a drink. Tram stop right outside to the town. Room was very spacious yeh it wasn't the newest but with the price i wasn't expecting it to be. However it was clean and comfy. We had a Seaview room but had scaffolding outside our window so the window was quite dusty but that couldn't be helped. We didnt eat there however we walked past the breakfast buffet and everything looked lovely and i did look at the hygiene rating and its a 5 so. Check in was super fast and parking for the night was only £3. The hotel had a singer on and the kids were happy playing on the dancefloor so family friendly. There is also a pool which we didn't get chance to use but a great facility for the price. I would defo visit again

It was very close to the venue that we attended Very friendly and helpful staff!!! Room was clean and tidy.. Had a really good night sleep - bed was so comfortable Shower was good temperature Had a really good stay Would definitely recommend x

This is a absolutely fantastic place to stay. It’s nearby everything. The staff were amazing and it felt like we’d known them for years, in particular Bobby. The bed was super comfy. There were very clean linen and lovely toiletries. The bar was reasonably priced and the “snack” menu was enough for a whole meal

Excellent hotel lovely and clean and very helpful staff. Very warm welcome and will definitely be returning again

My friend and I and our two twelve year olds had a lovely 3 day stay at The Bluewaters Hotel. We got what we paid for and more. Really had a fun time. I swithered on booking as the reviews were awful, but was swayed by the attraction of a swim. So pleased I was. Fabulous location, the best staff, great fun... But please note.. - Swimming costs £5 per person/ child for every hour. I was happy to pay that. And you have to book in advance. I would advise getting changed and ready for your swim in your room and taking a dressing gown with you AND importantly asking for towels before going for your swim... and ladies... No hair dryers in the changing area which is a tad chilly. - The room we stayed in was cold on arrival but they were happy to turn on the heating earlier than it would have gone on with the timer. - Dinner is served downstairs of an evening £16.50 for adults, £8 for children.. I seriously recommend going elsewhere... Go to Nandos instead... dinner in the hotel is edible, but everything else about it is awful. - If you aren't driving... invest in tram tickets... it's the best way to go. A group day ticket for up to 5 adults is £18, lots more options depending on your group size and length of stay. - Breakfast is fine. - Take some of your own wine and beer. The bar is fully stocked and prices for sitting in are reasonable, but for a wee drinky in the room.. go co-op (there is one less than 10 minutes walk away). - We discovered by accident the live entertainment on Saturday night... no idea how often this happens and when, but it was really good fun. The weans didn't know any of the songs, but (showing my age a bit here)... I did! - The beach is very close... if you don't take advantage and have a paddle you are missing the best bit of staying here. - The lift was broken when we stayed... be prepared for many stairs if like us you find yourself on the third floor. This is an honest and straightforward Blackpool hotel with no pretensions. We had a great time... if you go open to what is on offer at such a reasonable rate... I hope you enjoy as much as we did.
