we have just had our first visit to Canasta, and we will definately be going back again. We were offered tea or coffee when we arrived, and were told to help ourselves to tea/coffee anytime. We had booked a room with a seaview, and it was great. We had tea/coffee facilities, in the shower room there were little bottles of... more

We have had the pleasure to stay at this small, welcoming, friendly, hotel four times in the past 18 months and wouldnt waste our time looking to stay at any other hotel in Blackpool. The hosts - Dougie and Mandy are definatleythe hosts with the most, they make you feel part of the Canasta family from the moment you step... more

The Canasta is by far the best hotel, in the perfect location Blackpool has to offer. Superbly run by a very dedicated team fronted by superb hosts!! From arrival to departure, nothing is a problem. Superb breakfasts, excellent entertainment where the management are prepared to strut their stuff at the very organised and relaxed karaoke nights. No rowdiness at all..(no... more

Whay aye man!! Sidbobtail...(where did you get that from?). Thanks Colin and Annie for your lovely comments and your splendid company over the years. I don't think we quite deserve 5 stars (I'm happy with 4 and a half) ...but its nice when we get 'em!! I'll let the team know that we got another happy bunny! Hope to see...

We have stayed at this hotel twice now and mum has already booked us all in for this year (Oct 2009). As a family (6 adults, 2 small children) we go to Blackpool every year for the last weekend of the illuminations staying Friday and Saturday night. We would not stay anywhere else than the Canasta! Doug and 'Swampy' are... more

Hi Anne, Owen and the travel crew!! Thanks for such a glowing report. We always look forward to our end of season party (combined with Swampy's Birthday bash) and your family are such a good laugh!! We'll look forward to your company again at the end of October.

Thanks for mentioning all the plus points Cheryl. I'm sorry if you thought I wasn't friendly. I do all the meeting and greeting personally (I like to know who is staying in my home) and always offer a cuppa on arrival and try and have a brief chat not just on arrival but any time of day. I'm usually especially...

Just back from a lovely stay at Canasta Hotel. Met at the door on arrival with a friendly smile and an offer of a cup of coffee. The room was small but comfy and very cozy - didn't need it to be any bigger! Breakfasts were great with a good choice on offer - something to suit everyone. Hotel and... more

Thanks very much for taking the time to review us Lorraine. Yes, the corridor double rooms are compact but we try and keep the price down on these. We're really pleased you'll come back next time in town!

Thanks for such a glowing review Tracey!! Karaoke...its a bit of fun...helps get everybody chatting to each other. Actually a note here to potential future guests we only get the karaoke out if there is sufficient demand...its not rowdy as we only take couples and families. Thanks again and we hope to see the pair of you next time you...
