Enjoyed a last minute night away at the Ambassador in April. The hotel is clean and comfortable. Our room looked as though it had been recently refurbished as the wall paper and furnishings were relatively modern. The location is good, it is only a few minutes by taxi to the town or a ten minute walk. There is public transport... More

A warm welcome greeted us as we checked in from the proprietor Julie. The hotel is ideally situated for the North Shore and the Tower. Breakfast was fresh and plentyful. The rooms are Blackpool style so don't expect travel lodge furnishings. Floorboards creak and decorative covings finish wherever they land. It's called character. I would definitely return to this hotel... More

Friendly, comfortable, welcoming, spotless, perfect, these are just a few words to describe the hotel. Myself and my wife would like to thank all the staff at the hotel for making our stay the best we’ve had in Blackpool, ever. We will definitely be returning to the hotel soon. If you’ve booked or are hesitant to book, rest assured that... More

Certainly don't judge a book by it's cover as the outside of this hotel does not reflect the beauty of the inside. I was only in Blackpool for one night to see Alfie Boe in concert, WOW!

I booked a twin ensuite room at the Ambassador directly from their website at the beginning of February with two friends. Two days before we were due to arrive I received an email from the owner, Cynthia Greenwood who stated that ‘this type of room was £59 per night and the Internet has mistakenly given me the price of £29...

This single guest did not stay in our hotel. He was the one and only guest we have asked to leave the Ambassador due to his attitude and supercilious behaviour. As you can see from all our other reviews we do our best to please everyone, unfortunately there is always one. . . Cynthia Greenwood More

Although we arrived very early to the hotel, they were more than happy to let us park on site. We were given our key and told that although our room was not ready, it would be ready when we returned. The room was really spacious and had a great view, nothing too fancy but great value for money! The bathroom... More

Early check-ins are welcome, even if your room isn't ready, you can park up and check in when you return.

Genuinely appalling hotel. Very cheap but even then it's overpriced! The location is about the only plus point as it is situated just set back from the prom. It's certainly not centrally located though with a walk to the centre of Blackpool taking a good 15/20 minutes. Would highly recommend avoiding this hotel if at all possible.

I question the veracity of this review. If you were so appalled why not list what appalled you? We are not situated set back from the prom. We are located on the promenade itself, any genuine reviewer, who stayed our hotel would know that. We certainly do not claim to be centrally located, quite the opposite infact. Thanks for this...
