Great hotel right next to the pleasure beach. We got a free upgrade to a superior double room. The bar prices are are the going rate not the usual hyped up cost. We will definitely be staying again.

Great stay at the Big Blue Hotel
Lovely hotel, staff are really friendly and helpful. Location is great for the pleasure beach and ample parking. The only issue I had and it’s really not a big issue, is that the mattress and pillows in my room were a bit hard, but that’s just due to personal preference. I’d highly recommend a stay here and I’ll definitely be returning. Thanks Big Blue for a great stay!!

Very disappointing
Overpriced and overhyped. For the price you pay, even for the cheapest room, its actually quite a rip -off. Way too many corners have been cut, There was only one plug socket in the room, so if you have more than one thing that needs charged, you're out of luck. The single beds are so narrow that unless you sleep completely still, you will end up rolling out at some point, makes for a very uncomfortable sleep, especially for larger guests or ones who move in their sleep. The breakfast was mediocre for the cost, you can easily find a better quality breakfast anywhere in blackpool, for half the price... and because its buffet style, the breakfast hall is madness with kids running riot everywhere, coughing on the food and touching it with their hands, I witnessed this several times in a very short time frame, very unhygienic. To top it all off an angry drunk wandered into the hotel started kicking doors, shouting and screaming and subsequently setting off the fire alarm, which contuinued to sound intermittently for 2 and a half hours... at 2am... the security done nothing apart from aggravate the situation and made it continue far longer than it needed to. And last but not least, despite being told we did not need the room cleaned, the cleaner harrased us every 10 mins from 9am. Very disappointing

Good hotel expenses to park
We had a lovely stay the only thing that we found quite annoying is that you had to pay £20 per night to park at the hotel this should be included in the price of the room as some hotels close to the big blue give you free parking very expensive and sometimes there is no spaces and you have to pay to park somewhere else and walk back

Arrived at the hotel there was scaffolding up but it wasn’t an issue as the hotel had emailed to keep me up to date. Reception are was lovely & the gentleman on reception greeted us with a smile & was helpful…we got upgraded to a deluxe room which was stunning. All areas of the hotel were immaculately clean & all the staff friendly. Breakfast had a lot of choices to suit any dietary requirement,the English breakfast was tasty hot & replenished. I will definitely come back after a perfect first stay Thank you

A big blue midweek base for 3 nights
3 night in a standard room only stay, didn’t use hotel for breakfast, used restaurant one night from the a la carte menu, what we had was very reasonable (but some items are overpriced), food very good and great service. If you look closely the rooms are starting to look a little tired around the edges, but would rather stay here than the other hotels in Blackpool. We had booked the hotel direct, but a week before our trip cancelled and booked through hotels.com as it was £50 cheaper for the same type of room

Best place to stay in Blackpool
Our second stay. A really nice hotel with a great view over the Pleasure Beach. The hotel is very clean. I am not keen on buffet breakfasts but others seemed to enjoy it. The service was good but I would recommend two members of staff on reception at checking in times, we had to queue a while. The wine in the room was a nice touch but we could not drink it as we do not like red and we could only swap it for Chardonnay, which we don’t like either, unable to swap for Sauvignon. We will be coming back.
