Called taxis for us and advice where to go ) the hotel was very clean and the bar area was very modern. I felt very sorry for the owners of this hotel because some idiot had gone... More

All weekend we had no service at reception, no service at bar, no service in restaurant, no soundproofing in rooms (especially mine which was above disco). No hot water in any room, two 14 year-olds on their first (and last!) day were... More

I have come to Blackpool for the Easter Weekend for the past five years and I have stayed in various different 2 star hotels and B&B's.This year we stayed in the Albany Hotel and to say I was dissapointed would be a massive understatement. Infact I would go as far as saying not only was the Albany Hotel the worst... More

Your friends have reviewed the hotel and a valid response was given. We were fully booked when you requested to stay the second night. No complaints were made to the hotel and a fully English is standard unless a request is made, these requests usually are honoured. More

The fire alarm was triggered at 4:30am due to guests smoking in a non-smoking bedroom. Evacuation was the correct proceedure as this was not a fire drill and initially the hotel staff were unaware of the reason that the fire alarm was initiated. There were three members of fully trained staff directing guests to their closest fire exit and one... More

It was unfortunate that these guests did not bring to our attention at the time that they were unsatisfied with their rooms, there is every opportunity for guests to request an ‘upgrade’ bedroom, however there do hold a higher price. Whilst there are decorations and renovations taking place (ongoing since 2006) none of our rooms represent the 70’s and our... More

Like all businesses our staffing levels are reflected by the number of guests residing at the hotel during any period. We operate a full on Restaurant and not a buffet style bar, therefore there is no need for guests to help themselves. In light of the comments regarding breakfast we have reviewed our menu and service procedures. We are always... More

We attempt to always have all of our bedrooms ready for the designated times, however unfortunately there are certain circumstances where bedrooms may require more attention than normal. Despite our desire to release bedrooms at 2:00pm we will not lower our standards for any of our guests. On the occasions that this has occurs not only are the guests apologised... More
