The Royal Alexandra Hotel

Second time staying here. Check in was easy and qiuck. Our room was nice , cleaner (Sophie) had made a lovley job in our room. Sheets were crisp clean, plenty pillows, and a comfy bed. Tea/coffee in room. Shower worked well! Breakfast was a buffet style which I personally think is better. Plenty tea/coffe made fresh. Staff always friendly and attentive especially the girl on reception with long hair. The location is central to all the attractions.

Nice location, close by WINTER GARDENS. We were there for the UDO WC Streetdance. Noisy birds outside early morning. Fairly small rooms but ok - as we did not spend time there during the day. Elevator very nice.

* WORST HOTEL EVER* * DO NOT STAY* Came down as pack of a package deal through Hays Travel ... On arrival me and my group were up and down 8 times to get a key for the door that would work which to be honest I wish never did .... When we finally stayed in the room after going out in Blackpool for dinner discovered that the bed was covered in urine stains , the ceiling and walls were covered in damp and mould there was a smell of mould throughout the basement floor .... Slept on the duvet with only a towel to wrap up in for warmth which was hard considering the radiator didn't work and the room was freezing .. woke up in the morning before breakfast to shower and shower didn't work , kettle was rotten with dirt and TV never worked ... Went for breakfast and it was 40min wait ..so we didn't bother with breakfast and just went Gregg's Would not stay in here again if I was paid

Booked to stay for 2 nights , room was very poor , well where shall I start , decorating was very shabby , holes in wallpaper paint flaking off ceiling, bedside lights/ sockets not working , furniture very dated and battered, blinds didn't fit window , bed very uncomfortable, bathroom in need of a full refurbishment, holes in shower panels, no hot running water &flooring looked like roofing felt , very noisy in room as walls were paper thin , 3* Hah , only worthy of a 1* sorry , would definitely avoid

Very run down hotel needing alot of tlc. Bedrooms are dull, basic cleaning done but carpets stained , dirty marks and holes on the walls, door handles missing, blinds a mess. All in all, not good first impressions. Can't fault the staff , excellent staff. The food was fine and alot better sitting downstairs than in your room. Sadly we wouldn't return but with the right work and a good deep clean, this hotel could be lovely, it's based in a good location.

We have stayed in Blackpool many many times in an array of hotels. We know some of the hotels in the area are a but badic and you generally get what you pay for. So we chose a mid price room with a view to avoiding the lower end budget rooms which can be a bit dodgy. What we got was a tiny, dirty room. There were questionable brown stains on the bathroom wall and sink. The remote control for the tv was sticky and covered in crumbs. Someone appears to have punched a hole in the back of the wardrobe and the cheap plastic coat hangers were just thrown on the floor of the wardrobe. There was just no care given to the room at all. Everything was done on the cheap. It seems they've just packed as many rooms as they can into the place, as cheaply as possible and they are doing the bare basics of 'cleaning'. The room was facing an alleyway so we thought at least it would be fairly quiet at night. It wasn't. We could hear very loud music from other venue, like VERY loud. And we heard people fighting in the alleyway. Ok, this isn't the hotel's fault, but it's worth taking into consideration if you are looking for a quieter room. We had to wait half an hour for someone to appear at the reception desk to check us in. In the meantime we were phoning the hotel to let them know we had arrived (mid afternoon, so.it wasn't out of hours). We did go back down to reception to speak about the cleanliness of the room but there was nobody there, so we couldn't. Overall a very disappointing stay. If you want cheap and grubby you can get something in Blackpool for half the price of this place. We won't be returning.
