Its a Brittainia so no shock, You pay for what you get.
I’m really enjoying your channel Paul, I’m working my way through from your latest to earliest videos. Love your honesty and sense of humour. This was another great review but that floor would have done my head in. Otherwise for the price it’s decent.
Welcome aboard!
I first came across your channel when you did a chippy review in blackpool or bispham or clevelys and it was recommended on my channel. Your sense of humour with some of your comments do me me chuckle lol. just watching this one now . Don't know why but ive always liked Brittania hotels, hit and miss with rooms and you know it will always be old decor very old fashioned but just love the reception areas and history. I miss staying at Metrople but i've stayed in different places there now and VFM (when out of season).
Hi Mouse that's why I have separated the channel, it's easier for you to choose which video you would like to watch rather than scrolling through 100's you don't
It looks OK. Bet it's rammed when the illuminations are on or (even better still) "turkey and tinsel" breaks. There's a lot worse in Blackpool. 😊
So glad you showed this hotel, we went to Blackpool back in march of this year, 2023, stay on the sea front, Manchester Square. But every day when we went out on the trams, i mentioned to my friend, if we come back we should try the Savoy hotel out. 🤔 I think when you get makes on the bedding its because the people who do the laundry arent opening the bedding out & the sheets & pillow cases, they just ram it in the washer & its not getting the washing detergent on it. Pity, theres always something that lets a place down. Aye always take my own cleaning products with me, plus a Dyson, depending on where im syaying. Think this one is a Hit & Miss, id stay & see for myself.
Very creaky floor boards there mind Paul, sheet and quilt minging good luck
When out of season so your not wasting ya money, please go Headlands in Blackpool. It reminds me when I was little, it was the bees knees back in the day (not that I remember or took much notice lol) it was always the revolving door for me. I stayed 2021, oldy breakfast service but it was ok, lift was so 1960s including furniture but ya know what Paul...I flippin loved it!!
I’ll remember that one ,I’ve stayed at a few belters over the years but always forget the names! Lots of good times in blackers over the years
One of the worst hotels me and my wife stayed,some years ago it was rubbish,not clean at all,shower head fell off,hot water went cold,breakfast crap,I would give it 1/5,and that's being generous,you must of caught them on a good day,we were so very disappointed,I,m a pensioner and not got much money,had to park our car in the car park at the side of the hotel that cost us a fortune to park for the weekend,very disappointed with everything about the hotel,never again !!!! (Rubbish)
M & F Wigan...
Morning Paul, my first impressions are that it is in need of a major upgrade and most certainly the floors need looking at, though agree with your assessment - when I book a hotel I need it to be clean and comfortable as I am paying for the room not the hotel activities. Not sure when you went and why the cost was as good as it was. Looked at 2 nights in mid-July (Friday/Saturday) and the prices are quite bizarre. 2 night break with dinner, bed and breakfast (non-refundable) £140, yet a 2 night break for room only (non refundable) £167 and they also offer a 2 night break with dinner, bed and breakfast for £230.80 (non refundable). The first price is for a short break, the higher price is for an advance saver. Pay on stay (can be cancelled up to midnight the day before) is £240.80 for 2 nights dinner, bed and breakfast
I went out of season
Thanks for the video Paul, i used to go to the savoy many yrs ago, for a dinner dance in november before Mcdonalds took over, it was lovely, well decorated great meal and entertainment, with lavish surroundings, pity its like this now, mcdonalds seem to let these hotels go to rack n ruin 😢😢
My daughter and I stayed here one night DBB in Nov. It was lovely and clean. We had a side sea view looking towards the tower.Food was plentiful and tasty.Its a bit tired but could be really lovely,and yes would stay here again.
Maybe the people who fitted the window 😮 put it in the wrong room 😂
Might be the noisiest floor ever.
Great review and this is one of my favorite videos on your channel.
Keep up the good work Paul
Looks fairly ok, seems like they need to get those doors sorted and realise that people dont want want frosted glass for bedroom windows. I wonder how good the disabled access is?
Never really noticed you would have to contact then about that, I recall the lift was very small too
I bet it was lovely in its day
Just had a two night stay there and i honestly think there was nowt wrong with it. The room was basic and clean but what did i expect for what i had paid. Evening meal was ok but breakfast was spot on. 2 for 1 drinks offers were a bonus also. Staff polite and friendly.. Tram stop right outside also so all in all a nice weekend
Hi Paul, I agree what you said towards the end that i suppose you pay for what you get, meaning that some people may very well be looking for a budget style hotel which meets their needs and what they can afford and that's fair enough. However that said, i don't think hygiene and cleanliness or tidiness should be compromised just because its a low budget hotel or Guest House. At the end of the day people must make their own decisions, which i'm sure they do. Incidentally there seems to be some Health and Safety issues which should be addressed in your room don't you think?.
I feel the hospitality industry seem to of lost their way since covid, everything is put on the back burner, shortcuts made, and penny pinching expecting the average joe to just put up with it, and that includes health & safety
Nice to see the older folks enjoying a dance
Should take a blue light with you then YOU Will change your mind about sleeping in that bed 😂😂😂
Glorious name but certainly not a replica of the more famous Savoy in London - -
Doesn't look as bad as what's made out on TripAdvisor but what alot of people go by the name and what the hotel looks like on the outside. Not one I would stay at doesn't look as though my wheelchair would fit in the lift or down those corridors with the big heaters sticking out on the wall it's one we've always said we would like to stay in though
Sister hotel with the Metropole. I’ll say no more other than it’s full for the foreseeable future.
Hi Paul don’t think much of the hotel I would not stay there having dirty bedding not for kids any way 😮
It does intreage me about there only being a shower in the bathroom-despite there being room for a bath-perhaps showers are what the majority of guests want ???
Don’t really like the creaky floor,I’d be worried about disturbing the guests in the room below me ??
Not as bad as made out to be by the looks of it
No excuse for stained bed sheets whatever the cost of the room, i would be wary of bed bugs too
love these vids of Blackpool
Lovely music 🎵 great video, completely agree with you 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
It looked good value for money and somewhere i'd stay ...but stained bed sheets are always a nope and a basic thing to get right no matter how cheap and value for money you are, they gotta sort that out or people are going to just keep giving really bad reviews. it wouldn't take much by who ever runs it, to make this place great. After all, you can be value for money and not be a sh*t hole 😉 Nice work on the review though, always real and honest 👍
when you look at what you paid then not as bad, but since prices can increase to silly money this may be were a lot more of the bad results come.
You still have to say for the day and deal you got what else was on offer in Blackpool to stay
it seems to be a more elderly place to come. were eye sight may not be as good and the hotel cuts corners on how clean they get things. like the sheets.
the Breakfast seem a bit small it was missing items. and you did not say that other items could be put on the plate. as EG no hash.
The floor is very loud ,must b a older building , I guess you can’t expect much ,when it’s only so much a night
I would of said the “The New President” it’s a total dive the room we stayed in stank of drains, and was filthy there were used toothpicks on the floor, the kettle had a hole in it, curtains had holes in them, I wouldn’t stay a night in there, we checked out and had to get a refund via Expedia
What do you expect its not the real Savoy hotel if you want that you need to go to London not Blackpool 😂
I'd be hard pushed to stay at any hotel which shares it name with a cabbage! 🤣
We stayed in the hotel savoy
over Christmas and it was brilliant staff and the hotel was nice. The only problem I didn’t like was the lift was a bit slow.
I would stay their it's a grand victoriana Hotel lots off features breakfast looked OK and great for a few nites you should have had a price list for the bar but £52.50 for 2 is good but on the video you also said £52.50 each what was it please
Hi I did say at the end of the video £52.00 for 2 people including breakfast , that was for 1 night
I’ve stayed in far worse in Greenwich London , carpet with cig burns, fanny stamps all over the bedding, curtains hanging down…. No tv or bru material and a communal shower/ sink you had to share with others 😂😂
This is luxury 😂😂
"Fanny stamps"...😨..!
😂🤣😃😂🤣
Well done on subs . Good true review dude
It looked quite a nice place. Sheets should be clean. 6.5 / 10 for me. xx
Totally agree
In the same area is Berkeley holiday apartments, it looks like a hotel At the front its very nice place well furnished. The downside is the price for one week is over £2000 that's extorted especially with i stayed there in 2014 the price then was £800 for one week. I don't understand why the price has gone up dramatically perhaps you can find out why
We've been to the Norbreck Castle in Blackpool and had no problems but it is a long way out.
Considered one of the worst in the country - - reason to not bother with reviews of any kind
Enjoy your channel ~ personally I would never stay in any hotel which is part of the Britannia Group.
ALWAYS CHECK That here are mattress and pillow protectors !!
Personally my wife and myself like to stay at the blue waters hotel blackpool
I wouldn’t stay in any Britannia establishment i it was free ,don’t know if you guys know but pontins holiday camps also belong to that group we went to pontins never ever again, traveled 4hr to sleep in filth stayed one night
It looks quite good. Certainly better than your title as the worst hotel. I would stay there.
That's why I asked WHY in the title
As you was checking the TV, in the mirror was a reflection of a guy. I usually only see you in your videos, and just wanted to make sure it's nothing supernatural. Great video.
No it was a real person
I’d say the”Heywood hotel” is the worst I’ve ever nearly stayed at,,,, I walked out with my little girl,,, it was disgusting,,, nothing like what was advertised,, Chris/Steve the manager can’t remember which it was said I’d get a refund but never did,,,, avoid like the plague at all costs,
No black pudding...?
Rest of it looked reasonable though, for the money.
All of those old folk dancing looked like they were pushing a fridge up a spiral staircase.
Before I read the comment about it being a Britannia I was reminded of the Central Birmingham one where I stayed a few years ago, similar decor and brick wall views out of corridors and rooms but at least no frosted glass in bedroom, that was very noisy all night as it looked out onto the central area with kitchen fans etc, so this looks good by comparison
wasnt built a britannia hotel, its more than a 100 year old now
I mean for the price what do you want
exactly
🤩 Looks lovely & cosy, your out all day when your at Blackpool, so it been dated wouldn't bother me either. ❤️ Id stay .
Great vid. Can't expect too much for the price. Personally, I couldn't sleep on stained bed sheets.
Who was that guy in the mirror in the room?
Loveing the videos Paul xx it’s (barbie )
Thanks love x
Would not stay at this Hotel
Hi liking your videos was wondering if you could recommend some good clean hotels with a bar and and restaurants as of breakfast in Blackpool which mite have entertainment.i no there allot of horrible dirty hotels there as well as good one's.thanks .
Hi Joh look at some of my other videos in Blackpool there are a few good ones with bars and entertainment cheers
@@whoknowswhere thanks I'm a professional cleaner my self with an nvq in cleaning as I work in the hospital. I see is the vid and it was dirty like you said with a good cleaning team and supervisor you could easly clean that to good standerd.i would said something to manager of hotel if I stayed there about in not being clean.thanks for your videos I will look few your others to see the good ones you like 👍
My brother stayed there. 2 or 3 weeks ago. Monday t Friday Elvis week. I told him I saw you on utube n how you said it’s the worst in Blackpool
What I don’t understand is he said he really enjoyed his stay can’t knock it he said. Food was great n entertainment was brilliant. Bed was comfy. He’s booked an holiday for the same place in 3 weeks time n my bro is a fussy person. So must be quite good 👍
Watch the video if you look on the thumbnail you will see the word WHY? I am asking that question in the video, It is rated as one of the worst hotels on tripadviser that's why I did the video and I do state that for the price the hotel itself was fine the breakfast was fine and that I think the rating on tripadvisor was too low for what you get, so the video was in favour of the hotel, the only fault that concerned me was the stained bedding
No way the Savoy is the worse hotel there is a hotel on Hull road Blackpool £25 a night no hot water showers don't work terrible
When all the hotels were opening up again after the pandemic I booked in for one night as I was going to a show. The room was filthy and shower was growing mushrooms. I didn’t even put my bag down and chose to travel home. The bedding had pubic hair on and the net curtain was yellow and ripped. I got my money back eventually thankfully. Avoid like the plague. Eeewww 🤢
Hi Have you got a different channel now. What happened to your old one. I've just subscribed!
No I have 2 channels I separated the holiday away from the graves
@@whoknowswhere Ok. I've subscribed to this channel too, thanks for letting me know. all the best 🙂
Worst Hotel in Blackpool Hawkes Hotel, renamed Oyo Dora Hotel opposite sandcastle.... You read reviews on tripadvisor...... 😮
Well done
for finding your room. That place is a maze inside.
Well unfortunately I make my staff work and change bedroom I always wonder what it looks like the last hotel you has big tv I find interesting ❤❤❤
Thanks, that was really helpful 😀
My kind of hotel I will go visit
I couldn't be doing with that creaking floor no way
Is breakfast a help yourself buffet or do you get what you got?
It was help yourself buffet
Thanks..staying at the Savoy in August
Have to disagree was there 2 weeks ago. It was great
🤣🤣🤣 oh dear the doors a bit stiff a good start 😂😂😂we ain’t got to the room yet but nah won’t be stayin there the room is really old fashioned a defo no no from me it is not clean they should of refunded yer money back 😊 OR re clean it !!!! 😊 I suppose it cuz that’s what I do for a living cleaning rooms !!! So I’m very fussy and know what to look for 🤣🤣 you would need a torch in that eatin area to see till the next one 😊
Definite NO from me. This place looks like it needs bringing up to date. A big turn off to me is the dimly lit eating area, I always wonder why ? Don't they want you to see what you're eating ?
@@chrismacdonald7955 I totally agree
The dancing was beautiful.
Genuinely we Booed in here and booked straight out, any sensible person who keeps a clean home will only understand the state of this place. The coffe tasted like pee. The room door had all split wood where it had been kicked in and repaired. Dossers in rooms smoking weed. Filthy room disgusting mattress. Horrible if you can say any good about this place then your home must be a tip like this place so there used to the smell. Absolutely Disgusting this vide makes it look OK but belive me most rooms are Disgusting. This hotel chain is voted uks worst how mutch more do you need to hear to belive stay away
Creaky floor old fashioned too not very good
OMG there's far worse than in Blackpool
Its a Britannia....so no thanks
Oi,Oi Savoy Savaloy 😂.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🤔
Typical creepy you know what.
The good news...Twenty six nicker for bed and breakie. The bad news.....Brexit. The hospitality industry, particularly at the cheaper end, started going down the tubes when the Eastern European workers went home, imo. That bedding wouldn't have been on that bed, if the housekeeper was Polish, Romanian or Bulgarian etc...they took a pride in what they did.
Agree with you about these rabbit warren hotels, mate. Nightmare finding yer way out, and in a fire.....🚒🔥
My partner and I whent there years ago they didn't have a double bed available, so they upgraded us to a two single room with awesome sea view. We watched the sun set every night, it was stunning and had a jacuzzi bath. Breakfast was so so, the receptionist was rude and dismissive. The breakfast staff were lovely. Are all the refugees still there?
go to the fying hand bag good sunday lunch i love it
do a vido one sunday wen you are fre xxx
i will wach
