I’d have left after seeing the rusty piss stains on the radiator in the fist bathroom! Great video, I know where not to stay now 🤦‍♂️😬

I would expect a sea view if I had asked for one! No, Blackpool don't have the hanging gardens of Babylon or heards of wilderbeast but it does have Stanley Park, voted the best park in England and the Zoo. In winter, fantastic Murmurations of Starlings over North Pier. Blackpool have amazing sunsets and on clear days fantastic views of the Lake District mountains, North Wales and if the conditions are right, the Isle of Man.

@pameladiamond9603 10 месяцев назад

To be fair the hotel looks like it's vastly improved since I stayed here 5 years ago. The stench of raw sewage and mould hit you when you walked through the door. Old pine chipped and dented furniture, paint splattered curtains hanging off the rails, stained walls, thread bare carpet with fag burns included and the bathroom had never been cleaned from previous guests. As for the view you could see nothing through the manky windows. If it had not been for just one night I would have walked out. It's a huge place and probably impossible to keep on top off unless you employ numerous staff but charging cheap as chips prices wouldn't cover the cost. I worked in a small hotel many years ago and we were given a certain time to have the rooms cleaned by so it all depended on how previous guests left it to how much time you had to clean. A room left pretty good you had time to clean some extras but a manky room you just had time to do the basics. Now when I stay anywhere I always strip my bed, bag all the rubbish and leave it tidy because I know what it's like.

@wendykettlewell4628 5 месяцев назад

Just seen this - Hubby & I booked 3 nights at the Norbreck about 6 years ago - we left after one night. Awful. I asked for a room close to the dining area as I was on crutches at the time - our room was at the very north end - heck of a walk! The walk-in (for disabled) shower leaked into the bedroom, - it was sopping - the restaurant ceiling above our dining table leaked water (we think bathwater) all over our meals, there was no room in the dining area next morning so we had to eat breakfast in the corridor on a coffee table. The hotel was packed! - a convention of some sort going on. We' have more experience with hotels now, and today would have read the riot act. We let our feet do the talking at the time and still tell everyone contemplating a Blackpool holiday to avoid the Norbreck - word of mouth is the best advert - negative or positive. Good & fair review as usual wKw.

Britannia Hotels Thrive from their bad reputation

@neiledward2263 8 месяцев назад

Always go to Norbreck when I’m in Blackpool. Get what you pay for. My rooms have always been clean and warm. The kids love it also some great memory’s. Right next to sea and nice walk into Blackpool.

@stephenholmes1036 5 месяцев назад

Again a Brittainia. Its what you expect for what you pay. The worst hotel in their group is in Coventry try that one.

@karenwatson4801 10 месяцев назад

This is 100% improvement on the state it was in when we stayed 10 years ago. The corridor from the ballroom to the lift, passing the pool, was bright red and full of huge holes. The decor in the bar area and reception have been painted. The bedrooms have been updated from the green flowered carpets and dark wooden worn furniture - so, now it doesn't seem too bad for what they charge. It certainly was once a very grand building

@sitcorocket 4 месяца назад

Right...to be fair to the place it used to be a unique venue in the 70s and 80s and a google of its history will provide some degree of conparison to its halcyon days. Sadly it has not kept pace with modern standards or customer needs and as such needs a colossal amount of money investing in it to bring it up to its former glory. An icon of the sea front thats seen better days sadly.

@DisneyMarkUK 10 месяцев назад

What shocks me about this place is just how grubby it all is. I expected the rooms to be dated and tatty but there’s no excuse for dirty paintwork, carpets and internal glass. Thanks for the review.

@patdavies5240 4 месяца назад

Hi I used to be chambermaid at that hotel many moons ago, when it was in its glory. The cleaning was scrutinized by the head housekeeper and if something wasn't right she would come and find you and ask you to redo it. But I suppose it's like a lot of places, not enough staff now, even when I worked there we had a lot of bedrooms per cleaner to do and only 15mins per room. And whichever floor you were on it was your responsibility to hoover the corridor and stairs. Was lovely place, shame it's got a name for itself now.

@geddesjimmy 10 месяцев назад

I have stayed in hundreds of hotels all over the UK, and the Norbreck Castle was the worst. My room had a wet towel on the floor, the windows were disgusting, torn curtain linings and a leaky rusty radiator, The room door had a hole that had a square of plywood nailed over it, when I climbed the stairs, there was a strong smell of sewage. I was there for a conference many years ago, let me say, there has been a huge improvement with the place with what you have shown us. Still would never go back there.

@kerrys5540 10 месяцев назад

Hi Paul..love watching your videos and travels. I did find myself laughing at your misfortunes. But on a serious note...it is such a shame to see something so grand be neglected like that. The maintenance costs must be so high and the more neglect the costlier to fix. I think its gone beyond that level of investment Brittania would make. Saying that there is no excuse not to hoover communal areas. The cleaners probably get told you have an hour to do so many rooms so they only probably have time to change beds and clean bathroom . Enjoyed the review though. 😂

I stayed here in 2012 for a convention and really enjoyed the hotel and would definitely go back there again, at the end of the day your only there to put your head down to sleep as you are going to be exploring Blackpool, and that price is reasonable for Norbreck as your not paying for the Ritz Hotel

@tommyball1863 10 месяцев назад

I stayed here with my then girlfriend for two nights and in all honesty, it wasn’t that bad. It’s tired and tatty but the room was clean albeit a bit dated. It was really cheap so you pay for what you get I guess.

@dannyh8597 10 месяцев назад

I stayed with my other half in June, this hotel is a sh*thole. Our room stunk of sewerage and the bed was awful. Along with the room being cleaned very slap dash! I wouldn’t stay there again if somebody paid me! So good luck if you stay here again (just make sure you have decent life insurance) 🤢 Britannia are the worlds worst hotel chain for a reason (they don’t like parting with their dosh to clean).

@teddy20111000 10 месяцев назад

I've stayed at Norbreck many times, and found it ok with great staff. Often stay at the other end of the hotel and found the rooms to be ok. I'm due back in October this year (2023) for an event. Yes the Ballroom ect are very much still used. It's a big hotel and are short staffed, Also go out of main season me. I've read some of the reviews on Trip Advisor and a lot are so fake and complain about minor things. Copper Jacks is a big bar inside and well worth a visit. Yes I like staying at Norbreck. I also find the main problem with the hotel isn't so much the hotel or staff, it's sadly other guest's who treat the place badly.

@BrendaL54 5 месяцев назад

First visited this hotel for a linedancing event many years ago on a half board basis. Great dance floors, but the rest of the hotel was very tired even then,food mediocre. Room refurbishments have happened over the years, but it is such a huge hotel, it is non stop. But carried out cheaply, using cheap materials, so not long lasting. Not what I would want for a holiday, but it suits my purpose for a linedance weekend. It is very obviously a budget hotel. But the owner is a millionaire I believe living in Jersey. Obviously paying off.

@realsuperdoctor5260 10 месяцев назад

The Silver Sands is a pure dive it's stinks and it's dirty threadbare carpets throughout the hotel, stayed there for three days never again! curdled milks stains on carpets dirty drinking glasses dirty cutlery in the dining room, I refused to eat any of the meals including breakfast ate out instead had to use Febreze in the room to remove the smells of smokers also pillows smelly on the bed made me feel sick, thick dust on the public phone downstairs dodgy lift people trying my room door handle. I had enough! glad to be back home.

@allandodds5320 10 месяцев назад

I've been there numerous times over a period of several years to take part in a trade show. My last visit was 12 years ago and it hasn't changed a bit since then. I never stayed there, always preferring a b&b 3 or 4 doors to the South of the hotel based solely on the lack of cleanliness of the areas of the hotel we passed through and the food and drinks bought at the bar/coffee shop during the shows. Obviously a large, grand hotel at one time it has been in decline for decades - and although "shabby but chic" seems to be "a thing" for that hotel group, I don't remember it as being one of theirs at that time. I watched this video hoping to see improvements since I saw it and it's a real shame there weren't any. Very sad.

@DeKat-84 8 месяцев назад

Hiya. Been really loving binge-watching your videos! This state of this hotel is shocking. Personally I wouldn't mind the threadbare carpet and worn out stuff if it was actually clean. Things wear, which is inevitable. It's how clean they are that makes the difference.

@whoknowswhere 8 месяцев назад

I totally agree!

@Ange1dust29 4 месяца назад

I stayed there about 25 years ago. It still is as unkempt now as it was then. It's such a shame, if only they kept it clean. I don't think I'd be staying there anytime soon. Would be good if you did another review after the refurbishment to see what they have actually done to the place and if it is and cleaner.

@chrisginostravels7388 5 месяцев назад

I stayed at this hotel in the early 70s and it was very grand. Unfortunately having seen your channel today, I have to say it is a shame to see how the hotel has been neglected. Having stayed in hotels as part of my job (and had to pay for the privilege) I would not want to stay there again, no matter how much or how little it costs. There is no excuse for the lack of cleanliness. Great channel by the way.

@magsandher3moggies81 10 месяцев назад

I've stayed here a couple of times. This was in the 90's and it looks better now than it did then. In one section the rooms didn't have doors, just plywood with a number painted on. A lift you had to use a winding pull to get from one floor to another. Floors that had holes in, so you had to jump over these and tri not yo fall over. And, yes cobwebs everywhere and dirt. Never again would I stay there. Awful and a shame since it could be so gorgeous if maintained to a high standard. ☹️☹️

@johnwoodgate2352 10 месяцев назад

@TheBorzoilover 10 месяцев назад

Stayed at the Norbreck and to be honest i did not really scrutinise the room that much so cannot comment on that, had a walk through the rest of the hotel which is vast certainly needed some work doing in parts , booked a breakfast and i was not impressed with the scrum at breakfast omg talk about a free for all.......I loved the great big car parking space which was free at my time when i stayed not sure it is now.....To be fair to the ladies or men who clean the rooms they are given quite a lot of rooms to clean in a short space of time that they cannot give the rooms a thorough clean plus not forgetting the corridors etc., All in all i would stay there again just not have breakfast .

@whoknowswhere 10 месяцев назад

I agree totally with you but as you state they have a lot of rooms to clean which means they have a lot of clientele , so therefore they should employee the correct amount of staff to ensure they give a good service, obviously you would agree they must be cutting corners which is not fair on the cleaning staff.

@bredaquirke7362 5 месяцев назад

What a shame that a lovely hotel, when it first opened, have been left go into such decline. I was surprised to see limescale in the kettle because in comparison to London and the South East Blackpool is a soft water area. This is the 2nd of your videos I have seen. Very good reviews. Must watch more xxx

@BarryAllenMagic 10 месяцев назад

It did look tired - but then again, so do most of the larger hotels in Blackpool. The lack of vacuuming on carpeted areas was appalling. However, bit of an obsession with skirting boards going on there mate! I've seen another Brittannia Hotel rated on RU-vid - think it was in Folkestone, Kent. Jeeeeezus...now that was an absolute karsy. Personally, 'she who must be obeyed' and myself now prefer renting a motorhome and taking camping holidays. You can take your own linen and keep it clean during hire, to your own personal standards. Plus you arent stuck in one place - if ever the neighbours (or local natives) get rowdy.

@petfan2948 Месяц назад

The first time I stayed there about 14 years ago, the room wasn't too bad. It is a very basic single room. The second time, I was offered three different disgusting mouldy room. Full of black mould.

@cogboy302 Месяц назад

I stayed there times over a number of years whilst was taking part in a car rally which used the hotel as its base. The staff were great. The hotel, not quite so much. I call it Stalag Norbreck. You don't so much check out, as tie the bedsheets together and escape out the nearest window. The Britannia website said it had 'period charm.' - I said, "Yes it has, if the period you're thinking of is Colditz Castle, circa 1939 - 1945." They used to have post cards with a photo of the hotel on them. I sent one back to the hotel once which simply said, 'Glad I'm not there.' Apparently a blown double glazing unit half full of salt water counts as a 'sea view.' Not only is the Norbreck shite, it's not cheap. - I have to say the main bar/dining area seems to have had a lick of paint and all new furniture since last time I was there. Can you believe it actually used to be worse than it is now?

@cogboy302 Месяц назад

Looks like we got screwed over on the rallies too. We were there early February time, so cold, wet & horrible, and a room was about £180 for two nights. That was ten years ago. Last time I was at the Norbreck, I made extensive use of the bar, but ended up sleeping in the back of a van in the car park, rather than book a room. The van was cleaner, warmer and quieter than being inside the hotel.

@travelswithcrystalandjames 10 месяцев назад

We stayed last year you fell lucky we left after no sleep as the beds was filthy curtains hanging off the rails mould on the towels filthy damaged bathroom was like a halfway house we managed to get a refund and book other accommodation as for any sort of complaints to Britannia hotels you would be wasting your time they do not want to know they have done a few bits but not enough needs closing down. The response from the manager that didn’t want to tell me her name or if she was the manager when asked have you seen the state of your rooms her response was I know what our rooms are like. Never again for us we check all hotels now to be sure they are not Britannia great vlogs btw

@davidsworld5837 10 месяцев назад

by the time you get to an acceptable room it may be morning. hehe i am waiting for you to be given a room that some one is already in. the cleaning may be due to not enough staff to clean such a big place. and not correctly being looked after. the place seems to be constant being repaired

@loftlegacy 6 месяцев назад

You should try another charming Britannia hotel, the Coventry Hill Hotel. The locals refer to it as “Chernobyl”. Arrived 10pm and the stay was so bad that I left before 6am. The room was summed up by the manky bathroom scales in the corner!!

@dennismogg3889 10 месяцев назад

Been there before yes it is run down needs alot of work on it but if you just want a bed yes I would stay again it is abit far out from the centre of Blackpool but there is trams and taxi's the hotel has amazing rooms where they do wedding and they have the pool tournament held there 👍

The weekend that we stayed in October it was raining quite heavily and they had to put buckets around to catch the water that was leaking in. Our room was not very clean. The drawers were dusty and also had biscuit crumbs inside. It was cold and damp. l would not stay there again

Completely disagree with you it's not a budget hotel when they're charging £44 for Room only per night and they don't clean anywhere. There's lots of hotels in Blackpool charging £40 with Breakfast that are clean!

I’ve been to the Norbreck Castle, probably three times and it always reminds me of something out of horror movie. The place is dirty. Also the pub always made me laugh because when it rained the roof always late the only way this also could be better is to knock it down, it’s a shame because it looks lovely building outside😑

@annies8075 10 месяцев назад

I called in the Norbreck years ago for a coffee, but walked back out again as it was minging. Looks like there has been some painting and decorating going on, but the hotel requires more than that. Could once again be a lovely hotel, but really requires millions spending on it. When doing these reviews, you ought to pull off the bottom sheet and examine the mattress itself and also look to see how clean it is under the bed. I've lived in an apartment on the prom at Blackpool and it's difficult to keep the windows clean outside. Can be clean one day, and the next day they can be as dirty again and look like they've not been cleaned for ages.

Stopped at the Norbreck in the late 80's, it was dirtier then, looked like someone had punched the door as a large hole was on the inside panel. Our stay coincided with a western weekend, loads of blokes dressed as cowboy's having a shoot out competition (Quickest on the draw). This was followed by a Marie Osmond impersonator singing paper roses at around 3am. The following day we heard a number of our group had upset stomachs (must have been the sea air). Funny enough, we've never been back.

No have not stayed there, but i believe the young farmers do when they take over blackpool for a weekend !! They have been banned from several Its to dirty for me but would have loved to have stayed when its in there prime, some lovely old features, regarding the cleaners, guessing they dont have enough allocated time for area to area rooms etc.
