That was quite an enjoyable video to watch…..great information…..and great visuals. I certainly would stay there! I might watch the video again actually. 😅
Thanks for the video - really enjoyable and including so much information about the room, hotel and location. New subscriber based on this post - thanks. 👏👏
I too have a friend of an acquaintance's cousin (once removed without issue), who danced with Prince Harry in Vegas, asking the exact same thing! What a coincidence! Maybe it's the same woman we both know???!! She keeps asking me about an 'Only fa...' something website, that has me totally flummoxed and perplexed, all at once. I need a Bex and a lie down!
Hay Darren Das war ja wirklich wunderbar!! Ein tolles Hotel. Gute Küche,hat mir auch gefallen, super. Tropft gleich wieder mein Herz 💓💓. Aber vielleicht versuche ich es im nächsten Jahr 😉. Thank you Darren 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻❣️
I debated about going here for my anniversary next year as my partner proposed at Blackpool a few weeks ago. It looks amazing! That private entrance to the park, is that by the land train?
Great review, I’ve not stayed in either the Big Blue or Boulevard hotels yet, but it looks very comfortable and luxurious, I may have to give it a whirl. Thanks for your review.
I really enjoyed this review, thank you so much for posting. I’m on my way to Blackpool shortly and like you staying the Sunday and Monday night. Can’t wait to go now 😊 I got a good deal too, paid just less than £350 for the 2 nights deluxe executive suite for 2 people with breakfast included and also an evening meal on the first night. Absolute bargain 😊
Nice looking hotel right by the PleasureBeach. Nice vlog Darren but thank goodness for emoji stickers lol🤣🤣. I believe Walk With Me Tim once did a review from here with his wife Gaby and young child.
looks amazing . nice hotel lovely decor impressed the big blue looks nice too , i was used to b and bs with landladies in curlers lol need to get back to blackpool as its been a longtime changes i would never have seen ermm and shower scenes im blushing lol
You’re spot on when you say “I don’t know who classed it as 5-star”. It used to be only the AA and RAC who issued star ratings, based on objective criteria. But nowadays most hotels self-award their stars, so it’s all just marketing and meaningless. Some will claim to be “the only 6-star hotel in …..” and other nonsense. BLVD looks fine, and Sunday nights are always bargain basement prices in UK hotels. It looks fine, although the 3rd floor corridor carpet was filthy, but what’s most striking is how little different the room itself is from any Premier Plus room at a Premier Inn. It seems that even so-called “5-star” hotels in the UK have dumbed themselves down to offer little more in terms of facilities than a PI or Travelodge (though of course they don’t have gyms, table service, conference facilities, etc).
As I understand it the star rating are now based on things like whether the hotel has 24/7 concierge, dining facilities and the like rather than how nice rooms are. I've stayed in 3 star hotels with nicer rooms than 5 star ones. Though, yes, I also tend to agree that they're self-assigned even in that respect.
Many Premier Inns have conference facilities but I agree, Blackpool doesn't actually have a 5* rated hotel in the sense that an official body like AA or RAC have awarded it. There is due to be the first genuine 5* Hotel opening in the Showtown/Sands Venue over the next few years. Regardless, Boulevard is a wonderful Hotel all the same.
Really good video thanks. Have stayed in Big Blue but not Boulevard, although I drive past it looking in with envy every day to and from work. The gym is actually very well equipped for its size and I know that it has a third car park near the Train Station as well.
By way of a contrast you ought to spend a night in one of the tatty guest houses in Central where you can enjoy a night sliding around on grubby nylon sheets. The owners might even pay you for staying there!
The Pleasure Beach train station is also just around the corner behind the Blue Hotel… 21:29 Could this taping noise come from the hanging chain from The Big One’s lift hill ?
Ooooh, the quip about the tea, that's gotta sting, especially as Lancashire does have its own tea blend... which as well as being a very good price is actually very nice!
Me and my partner stayed there for one night we were on floor 3 with a sea view. It was lovely. The room was larger than that it was split in 2 with a separate sitting area
Looks a nice hotel and a great location for the park. Shame breakfast isn’t included in the price though. Naughty Darren! Tim would never film with dirty white socks 🫣
Wow !!! What a swanky place for what you paid, the colour scheme is light and airy, it looked immaculate 👌🏼 I stay in travel lodges a lot with my job and some of the places I stay are more expensive than there (per night). The breakfast looked bob on, I’d be offended by the Yorkshire tea but I’m a red rose haha . Excellent video Darren and maybe a new branch to your channel ?
Thanks for the review, much nice than the big blue, personally i would prefer seaview as i wouldnt want to look at the metal and the ride, but know you would love that view, as you like the rides at theme parks, Tim also had a view like that from the big blue, as he likes that one,but maybe it was the blv, interesting to see what they do with the nxt one, thanks for sharing 😊
You should do a collab with Tim. Bring him along on one of your adventures. Spend the night in a hotel after. I think you would be on to something!! Just an idea.
@@AdventureMe Thanks, I knew they were pulling down past sell date hotels and holiday flats and glad some decent money is going back into B/Pool, cheers DougT
To get access to the gym, you must go to reception and they will let you in once you have signed a form giving your room number and mobile number ( if you have one). Unless you got a preferential rate, parking is £20 for 24 hours. Choice at breakfast was excellent. The full English I cannot agree with you. I have had far better at less salubrious places. I was there the same weekend as yourself in the coastal suite on the 4th floor. I thoroughly agree with the cleanliness of the hotel, it was spotless. I would most definitely stay there again.
At the risk of my personal safety... that was well worth watching ;-) I agree... it's always nice to have a big one in the room... television, that is (of course)! :-D I eat that way round too - so you aren't alone! My Dad did too... and he was told it was because he had an overactive brain.
Darren, please don't laugh but I was about three minutes into the vid and all I could think of was staying at the Knott's Berry Fram Hotel which is really close to the Ghostrider Rollercoaster. You always have the best "Bathroom Reviews." Funny thing, at 12:13 you're showing a bit of a Peppers Ghost Effect/Illusion with the reflections in the glass. AGH.... I gained 5 pounds just watching the breakfast segment..... I'm not sure what 97.50 Pound is in dollars but it sounds like a great deal. At the Knott's Hotel parking is included and a "continental/finger" breakfast. Great watch from start to finish.
I always stay at The Villa Wray Green just by lytham . Really up market in the middle of the most beautiful countryside I’ve ever seen and it’s a five minute drive to Blackpool
Eating the wrong way round? I sometimes just use a fork and use the side to cut things - I know, heathen! Great looking hotel! I see the Spot the Mr Funshine Quiz has spilled over from your Pleasure Beach video. 😆
Looks like a nice spot, and reasonably priced too. But who was that weird naturist dude in the shower? Hope you don't run into him on one of the rides in the park... 8^) Cheers!
Literally can't watch as I know hpw much I paid for the same weekend at the Big Blue 🙈 much more expensive than I'd usually pay, but it was the only weekend we could go this year!
I don't know if it applied to you Darren but you forgot to mention the 100 pound deposit on arrival that you DO get back a few days after you leave. I love the blvd and stay regularly 😊
What a gorgeous hairy chest ! And the hotel looks really nice too . That breakfast looked proper. Good price too with the park included . I’ll definitely stay there next time based on your review
How could that possibly not be Blackpool's best hotel when you're in residence - and showing off as much of yourself as TH-cam will tolerate, my dear Darren?!! I also like the colours in your spacious room, and it has to be said your bed looked most inviting - and more than capable of comfortably accommodating your every bulge. I'd probably not have paid £19 for a breakfast, though I could tell it was all very good quality - and I quite agree that if you're going to have a sausage or two, the taste really does matter. I'd be looking for a slice of black pudding and some tattie scone mind you...!- Is the Big One okay, incidentally? Only it looked to me that a bit had broken off up the top, there!
I was born in Lancashire I've never moved why would you but now I'm in Cheshire some folk was not happy letting Widnes in Cheshire 😂 and soon I'll be in Merseyside I place my red rose to one side and sup Yorkshire tea because it's gorgeous 👍
Can I say. I've never seen Mr. Funshine in that position ever. 🤣 Though, getting serious. Does whether you have a sea view or park view affect the overall price you pay or is it "sea or park youll pay the same"? Sorry to be a pain and ask.
It's a lovely looking hotel. I pass it all the time but it always looks empty. No need for a hotel of this nature at the Pleasure Beach. Seems to me it's nothing but a certain person's vanity project and a bit of a white elephant.
I was watching a TH-cam video by two Brits who were dissing America because we don't have mirrors in our elevators (generally). I didn't see one in the hotel's.
When you first plopped down on the bed, it was obvious that you were quite excited about it.🤣
That was quite an enjoyable video to watch…..great information…..and great visuals. I certainly would stay there! I might watch the video again actually. 😅
Please do! 😁
Always a pleasure to see this one pop up when im binging your videos 😋
Enjoy!
Just discovered you. Great videos. Fit guy too!
Awesome! Thank you!
Not just the bed that looked big
😉
Nice Sunday afternoon viewing 😏
Thanks for the video - really enjoyable and including so much information about the room, hotel and location. New subscriber based on this post - thanks. 👏👏
Thanks for the sub!
Enjoyed this one even more than usual. Can't think why!
Love your videos and they are always very informative but I must say this time I love the shower scene!! Thank you for that.
Oh my. Now how do we get the uncensored shower scene? Asking for a friend. Well, quite a few friends judging by the comments
You don't want it. Trust me haha
@@AdventureMe try me! 🤣😘😉

I only came to see the shower and bed scenes. Well worth it 😍
Great video as always Darren 😊I also eat the wrong way round so you are definitely not alone
Sounds like there are many of us
Wow amazing prices for a beautiful hotel. If I come to Blackpool will go there. Super video. Thank you Darren.

Thank you Darren 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻❣️
Great video as always! Especially the shower scene... wish we could see the full view 😅
Id get banned lol

Great review Darren,thinking of having a night in Blackpool in the near future and the Boulevard looks spot on.

Great video Darren, lovely hotel, beautiful room, breakfast looked top notch 😀👌👍
Nice video. And nice shower and bed scene. Nice to see
Wow looks good, and the hotel too! 😂
Haha
Well Daz, you set me up for the day About half 8 this morning, drinking me coffee before work watching..the infamous shower scene
Haha. Sounds like a horror film
@@AdventureMe - Well, we can only guess at what "weapon" you had in there! :-P ;-)
Is there a link for the uncensored version? 👀😅
Maybe there is, maybe there isn't 😁
looks amazing . nice hotel lovely decor impressed the big blue looks nice too , i was used to b and bs with landladies in curlers lol need to get back to blackpool as its been a longtime changes i would never have seen ermm and shower scenes im blushing lol
Haha. You and me both
@@AdventureMe one word woof
Another great video
Looks like a great place to stay ❤
It is lovely. You should have a stay. They might invite you if you email them with your channel.
Great vid, you should do more hotel reviews.
Thanks! Will do!
@@AdventureMe - Especially if you give the showers a full, in-depth review ;-)
Was good to meet you on that rainy windy night outside the BLVD. I couldn't stop as had a booking on the lights tram so had to rush off.
Yes it was nice to meet you. You caught me livestreaming lol

Very good looks great
Watching it again 😂😂😂😂
Hi met you at the top of Blackpool tower a few weeks ago. When are you going to post that video ?
Oh yes. Hello again. Not for a while, haven't started editing it yet haha
Nice one mate, looks a lovely hotel that
It was!
Really good video thanks. Have stayed in Big Blue but not Boulevard, although I drive past it looking in with envy every day to and from work. The gym is actually very well equipped for its size and I know that it has a third car park near the Train Station as well.

21:29 Could this taping noise come from the hanging chain from The Big One’s lift hill ?
It is yeah. Nothing running that late though. Could be the chain yeah
Splendid hotel at what sounds a very reasonable price. Sadly, however much you pay, the weather always does its worst!
Me watching the shower scene at x0.25 speed 👀
Haha. You sound like me on others. Nothing slipped, I checked very carefully when editing haha. No reflections either
@@AdventureMe I also checked several times. And unfortunately you are correct, nothing appears to slip 😂
Ooooh, the quip about the tea, that's gotta sting, especially as Lancashire does have its own tea blend... which as well as being a very good price is actually very nice!
Not Yorkshire Tea though lol
You get tons of limescale in East Yorkshire! It’s a very hard water area and everything where water is builds up with limescale.
East coast does yes. rest of the north, not at all
Could you not just take the whole drawer when nicking the safe?
Me and my partner stayed there for one night we were on floor 3 with a sea view. It was lovely. The room was larger than that it was split in 2 with a separate sitting area
What is not to like about this video .. very appealing and giving it a 'solid' 9 out of 10 as would I !
Body was a 10 out of 10! 😎
Haha thanks
More like 20 out of 10!!😊
Looks a nice hotel and a great location for the park. Shame breakfast isn’t included in the price though. Naughty Darren! Tim would never film with dirty white socks 🫣
You don't want to know how many times I've watched this video 😊
Haha. Enjoy
@@AdventureMethankyou I sure did enjoy the video 😊
And I thought it was only me who eats the wrong way round 👍
No. Defo not
Eats the wrong way round?
{Shudder}
I dread to think! LOL
Just curious, having a safe in a drawer… what’s stopping someone stealing the drawer?
Haha. Good point. Probably won't fit out the door though.

Oh no. Please don’t.
Was the shower clip needed?
Clearly was judging by the comments lol. It was supposed to be cheeky as I am as a person.
Hey Darren, is that hotel a new build or an updated older one? I'll say nothing about your guest OF tease 😮 Cheers DougT in Mancs
It's a new build. Not too long ago
