The Avari Beach Hotel

Was originally staying at hotel avansi who informed us the morning of arrival they couldn't accommodate us anymore but had found us a new room in their other hotel. We turned up at 1pm to see if we could settle the bill just so it was done to be told no and to come back at 3. The downstairs looks lovely from the outside. The inside was another story. It was filthy. Looked like it had never seen a hoover. There were young lads slobbing all over the lounge area in balaclava type face coverings. The upstairs windows were full of bird poo, blinds all hanging off and missing. I don't expect much from some places in blackpool but it's the first time in 35 years I've walked away from a hotel and refused to at least give it a chance. First impressions count and having males in balaclavas in your lounge on people's arrival is not going to get you custom. Wouldn't advise anyone to stay here

Summer in Blackpool Had a great stay, very friendly hosts

Avoid. Very dissapointed Gentleman at check in was polite and friendly throughout visit. Shame the room let it down, where do I start …. The room door didn’t close properly unless you locked it, there wasn’t any handle mechanism at all in the door. Other doors around hotel were filthy also. The walls and door were filthy, holes in ceiling and cracks in the plaster in the ceiling. Light shade was filthy with dead bugs in it. The blind when let down was dirty and stained. Checked bed before even got in it and there were hairs all in the bed found atleast 5 that did not belong to me or my friend and there was even a hair stuck to the inside of the bathroom door. Bathroom very tiny definitely not enough room to even swing a cat in it let alone get changed! Even found a squashed bug or some sort still on the wall next to the door. Spent very little time in the room. When came to checking out the reaction area is meant to be manned from 9am there was no one there at 09:25 it was locked up so could not raise these issues with them. Will be emailing and requesting a refund not worth the money at all

Hotel Keith was amazing and so lovely. We stayed for two nights, the first night wasnt so great. On 3 occasions the front door was being banged on saying they had lost their key. This was 4am in the morning. The second night was lovely, we slept brilliantly. There is a vibrating noise from outside (does sound like work through the night) but had a lovely time and woukd stay again.

BAD PRACTICE- moved us without notice Booked into this hotel for 1 night, On arrival was informed that we had been moved to another hotel that was 1 mile away. We chose the hotel for its location close to central pier, it had a bar and limited parking. so not to be informed prior to arrival was not professional as we would of found another hotel. We were located to the Avansi, which had no parking, no bar and was in desperate need of cleaning and repair. the manageress was lovely and very accomodating at the Avansi.

Please do not stay or book this guest house . The room was dirty, very dated , holes in walls, especially in the bathroom ! The bed was most uncomfortable and sheets dirty . The whole place smelt of smoke . We didn’t stay ! Owners were not welcoming.
