The Melville Hotel - Central Location

Stayed here for 2 nights as I was meeting a group of friends for a catch up in Blackpool. Booked a single room so I wasn't expecting it to be massive but I couldn't swing a mouse let alone a cat, in that room. I'm a size 16/18 and if I'd been any larger I would not have fit in the miniscule shower cubicle or the bathroom in general. This room is not for us plus size people! Sign on the door says room serviced daily but when I got back around 5pm it hadn't been done. Maybe because the lift was broken and I was on the top floor. Plus sides, all the staff I encountered were lovely,decent breakfast included, it's a stones throw from the beach, shopping, the Tower and close to Blackpool North station and the bed, whilst a single, was comfortable!

This is by far the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in , the rooms are no more than glorified staff quarters!! Cramped, dirty poorly furnished, everything in room looks like it was bought at second hand shop, the bathroom is barely big enough to use ,shower has half fixed panels and a Ropey shower curtain which soaked the floor every time you had a shower. The walls are paper thin so you hear everything and I mean everything!! The so called breakfast is served in a cellar which is disgusting the smell is awful.This should be reviewed by some sort of Hotel standards Inspectors because it falls way below any star rating, only glimmer of light was some staff who deserve better working conditions.When complaining to owner she was less than helpful her only solution was to move to sister hotel as we where looking after a group of 12 yr old football kids this was not an option and not sure we wanted to entertain another family member of the Melville Hotel!!!!

Grim. Avoid! In Blackpool for Strictly, arrived and walked straight back out again. Street is unsafe and dark. Room was grim, old electrics, dirty, ancient shower- more suited to an 80’s caravan, door unlocked, hallways dirty and even had other guests undies drying on the radiators! Would be funny if they hadn’t charged us £180 for two nights- asked for a refund and they said they couldn’t as we’d booked thru ***********. Still waiting on a refund. Give us our money back. Grim doesn’t cut it in reality. Do not stay here. Ever. Minging.

Hi, I chose this hotel because it was close to the winter gardens and was very glad I did the rooms had all that I needed and the bed was very comfortable. The facilities were great and the staff were very friendly and helpful it had the personal touch I have every attention of returning next year

Please avoid like the plaque. First night had to ring down to reception due to a domestic violence incident with the room opposite. You could hear all toilets being flushed at all hours. Dated and tired rooms. Couldn’t sleep there the 2nd night I had booked and paid for due to the couple above us have some “couple time”. If you like cheap and nasty go ahead but really it’s the most disgusting hotel I’ve had the misfortune to stay in!!!

This hotel has to be the worst myself and my wife have ever stayed in. We stayed in room 61, the room was freezing with a tiny radiator at the door that did nothing, there was a wardrobe that was falling apart and when you opened it you had to hold it steady. The bathroom was dirty with no lock on the door, the toilet and shower looked like they had been installed in the 1970s and when we tried the shower it was no more than a trickle. The mattresses on the beds were no thicker than a bath towel and the walls were that thin we were awoken numerous times through the night with noises from other guests. The toilet when flushed made a noise like a ships fog horn and when we used the lift it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in ages. In short if you have booked this hotel then you would be well advised to cancel and look elsewhere

Having arrived at another hotel in the same street where I had booked and upon arrival at that hotel had been told my booking had been cancelled. I enquired at the Melville and they rescued me. They came to my rescue with spades on. Thanks to the staff for acommodating me at no notice at all. Unlike the staff at other hotel the Melville were welcoming, friendly and quick in helping me resolve my now lack of accomodation. 10* Plus. The room was good, and was serviced when I was out the next day. The Full English was a great breakfast. The waiting on staff were wonderful. I cannot praise this hotel enough. If you book and come here I'm convinced you will have a great welcome as I did. Big it up for all at the Melville.

We stayed here earlier this year at the Melville. Big shouts go out to Shaun, Maggie, Peter and Louise. They all go out their way for you. We had a couple of good nights in the bar too, one night there was a guy called Kevin in the bar, he was really helpful and brought our drinks over a few times to save us going to the bar each time. The Singer was Dave Bear, we had a laugh with him and a right good old singalong, nice guy, good with the guests. Food is basic but plenty of it. Bedrooms very clean. Staff make this place and we would return.

Just returned from a two night stay at the Melville Hotel. As far as Blackpool accommodation goes, the Melville isn't bad. The room was dated, but that didn't matter to us as the room was just a place to sleep and we were out during the day. The beds were clean and comfortable. The staff were wonderful and we were well looked after during our stay, especially in the bar area. Thoroughly recommend.
