Reviews

After reading the reviews we were dreading the stay, we were all pleased with the rooms all clean with tea and coffee available lovely reception from both days would recommend as great value for a cheap stay

For £50 a night was good. Could have been better if heater was working.

I read the reviews after booking a 2 night stay at this hotel, and I thought OMG what have I done. We continued with our stay, we stayed in room 21, which is cosy sea view room. The rooms do needmodernising, there was a hole on the lowered ceiling tiles in the bathroom, NO bed bugs, like other reviews said, beds were clean and comfortable, other family members stayed in room 24 and 25, cosy, clean. Need updating as well. The owner of the hotels needs to start a room at a time to modernise. The manager is a lovely man, smiling and on hand to assist. The bar was open to 11. Parking was £10 for the whole weekend. They no longer do breakfast, but there are plenty of places to eat in Blackpool. Would I stay again yes, remember this hotel is a 3 star, you get what you pay for! The hotel was fully booked for the whole weekend.

Came for the weekend and had a lovely time. The host went above ans beyond and was so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be back.

The room was nice and clean there was somebody on hand if anything went wrong the staff were cheerful and always friendly would stay there again

Great lad running the hotel lovley and clean and warm my only issue was I could t get back in last night 😱😱it was only 8.30 pm 😱😱

This hotel has many bad reviews. When we stayed we enjoyed it. The manager went out of his way to help us as I was on crutches. Yes the hotel is a bit tired but for the price what do you expect. The shower was hot, the bed was comfortable and clean. We only stayed two nights and our room was clean and had a sea view. We would stay there again no problem.

We had a lovely stay. The staff were very friendly, family room was huge(with single beds instead of bunkbeds which was great). The room was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The bed linen smelt lovely and the sea view with the bay window was brilliant. My son loved sitting on the window ledge watching the trams go by and the waves.Its a great location and theres a tram stop across the road.I will definitely be booking again.

Went for a stag do , was standard room , with toilet and shower , can't moan for £25 you pay for what you get. If you just need a bed for the night after the booze it's fine. If you are expecting the Hilton pay for the Hilton.

Nice budget hotel.Lovely friendly staff.Other guest where inconsiderate on Saturday night, banging doors etc around 3/4 in the morning, meaning broken sleep.Plus one guest didn't leave contact details for moving car!

Basic accommodation. Great price for a family room for 5 and great view of the sea. Location is central so a 10 minute walk to the tower. Laine was really helpful with info on things that were happening in Blackpool that we could go to.

When we got there, we noticed no ramp for the pram, carrying it up to the reception area, we then got our room, which was the top floor. The lift is out of order so we had to carry the pram up. This was exhausting and inconvenient. We was told we could leave it downstairs but I’d not like my belongings kept away for too long.The room was a decent size, we had extra pillows, tea and sugar. No milk so I bought my own long life milk since no fridge.There was 2 body towels and 1 hand towel, for 3 guests. The water kept turning off making the cold water unreliable and hot water wasn’t on for the majority of our first night there.There was no hand wash provided so needed a quick essentials shop.The bar was nice, atmosphere and layout really good. Staff was really friendly and accommodated all our needs. They was really nice to my daughter and let us celebrate with a birthday cake in the bar area.There was photos of food on booking website so assumed we could buy breakfast, however it’s not a service they offer.Car park is really tight, we was lucky to get the pram out the door and through the cars. We booked a car space nearby to avoid it.The price was really good for what we got, I can’t really complain.I would visit again, but hopefully get a ground floor room next time.

Definitely go again lovely member of staff that greeted us couldn’t do enough for us as it was a birthday. It was made special by the friendliness and helpfulness of the member of staff at dealt with us thank you very much.

Cheap and cheerful few odds and ends need doing but overall good room

Good place, good prices

In Blackpool for a single nights stay in order to attend the Funny Girls 30th Anniversary Show.Lane,our on duty host, was a dynamo.There has been riots in Blackpool on the day of our arrival. Lane was fully informed of the situation, kept us up to date and mead us feel exceptionally safe.Lane was the only person on duty from when we arrived at 5pm till our departure at 11am the next day. Another staff member has sadly called in sick. However, Lane took it in his stride with confidence and a cheeky smile.Rooms are clean and fit for purpose as a good location with on site parking at £10 with only a 10min walk to Funny Girls - we definitely made the right choice for our hotel.Thank you so much Lane - sending love & luck from Liverpool for a future filled with fabulousness.Sal & Neil xxx

What a lovely small comfortable hotel,Exactly what we wanted. clean and tidy warm and comfortable,We wanted to be in the North and this hotel was a great location, right on the front with easy access to all we needed., Manager super friendly and helpful, we will definitely stay again.Thank you.

Hotel manager was really nice made us welcome and helped with wot we needed

The room was nice the manager was very welcoming and we had a lovely chat

A well priced, comfortable and clean sea front hotelI did the Blackpool marathon and being opposite the start and finish line was fantastic and to have an a wonderful power shower just after I finished wàs good

Very pleased with the excellent welcoming we had on arrival and throughout our family stay . Bedding clean towels clean plenty of body washed and toilet rolls to in rooms kettle and coffee tea ect rooms nice and warm all night good value for money .

Both really enjoyed our stay ,cosy room on the seafront & will be back again soon.

Nice welcome and the staff are lovely. Was a bit cold in the rooms, we were told heating on at set times such as 4-6 and 730-930 in morning but it didn’t appear to be on. And my sister and bf had the same issue in their room. It’s fine for the price you pay.

At arriving at the hotel, we were told that there was an issue with the boiler in certain parts of the hotel. The 2 staff members were very accommodating, helpful and efficient in finding us a room with heating.Had a lovely room with a sea view.The only issue was the shower only trickled water and there was no hot water.Overall a great hotel and staff, would book again, only if the shower/hot water problem was fixed.

Lovely staff room was comfy and clean couldn’t ask for anymore really.

We stopped one night. Needs a little up dating. However room was clean. Nice clean bedding. Friendly owner.

To say we only stayed the night to see the illuminations the room was fab, upon arrival I was told our room had been upgraded just to cater for our little girls cot, we had a lovely sea view room, wasn't noisy on a night, and the beds were so comfy! Would definitely stay here again in the near future!

Very basic but was a enjoyable weekend

Cheap and cheerful, comfy bed, small bathroom only one towel and toilet roll for two people but I would definitely come back again. Guy on reception was very nice and friendly too. Thankyou

Very helpful staff clean and tidy roomGreat location for a weekend break in Blackpool.

We stayed here Saturday, I always pick somewhere with parking, as it makes life so much easier. Customer service was really good and breakfast was nice. Lovely clean bedding, I would recommend

Response

Hi Michelle,Thanks ever so much for your lovely review.We do hope to be able to welcome you back again sometime.Many Thanks

Check in was straight forward and fastRoom was clean and spacious with comfy beds and pillowsPowerful showerCooked breakfast was niceRooms are outdated but as they are only for sleeping in it wasn’t an issue to usOverall we have no complaints would stay here again

Nice rooms we had a sea view but the price in the bar no draught on so cansOf carling £4.50 a go to expensivefor me

Everythingis good expect the windowis broken and I am worried all the time my kids open it and jump but everythingis OKnice and clean hot water quiet hotel nice staff

Stayed over after watching the Blackpool airshow with my wife and 2 kids are 2 and 7 the host was very friendly and helpful and the room contained everything that we needed, a little dated but sometimes that just adds to the charm.

Lovely Friendly staff and attentive when we needed, nice comfy clean rooms would recommend this hotel sad to be going

We have stayed here years ago but know under new management so time will tell the place was fine for us somewhere to stay that was quiet and good as a base to go about what we needed to do I would suggest that parking be able to be paid when booking instead of getting email after saying there is a fee for parking I will book again there when next in BlackpoolBlackpool

Group of 4 pensioners , found the hotel clean and comfortable Joe hotel managerwas polite friendly and professional - good full English breakfast - would definitely recommend - if your gonna moan pay triple the price and go some somewhere else - for friendly comfortable accommodation go here , we will be going back thank you

Good

The manager was very friendly and helpful

We had an enjoyable stay at the Canasta. It started with a warm welcome from the manager Joseph who looked after us well, all our needs were met. Rooms were clean, fresh bedding and very comfortable.Breakfast the next morning was fantastic, we will definitely be back again soon. Thanks again Jenny

Smashing budget hotel, good for parking, but the best part of it were the staff! We sat chatting to the ladies and they even ordered our supper for us. Perfect end to a lovely day. Arnie and Linda.

Thank you Clare, glad you all had a nice time,

Nice friendly hoteland clean newower that was nice so was staff had no folt with hotel or staff just was anit pricey bu booked b4 new owners. Location was in a good area on the seafront.

Hotel room dated needs updating but was comfortable for what we paid the management team was lovely couldn't do enough for you .

The service was very good and the staff really friendly. The hotel is a bit outdated, but I’m sure allot are the same and we just wanted a bed to get our heads down.There were free parking spaces for us.They let us check in slightly early as the room was ready and really easy check in and check out.24 hour service and It was close to the pier that we were going to. Will be looking at the same place for my next stay.

Excellent all round.

Hospitality was amazing the staff are so nice from the minute you pull up to park and always making sure you was good. Room cosy and everything you need in it. Perfect location

Lovely hotel, friendly staff, especially Lisa, always welcoming and very helpful. Hotel in a great loaction and can walk to the tower in about 15 mins or get a tram right outside the hotel

Such a friendly hotel. staff do look after you we had a totally non interrupted stay u have yr own key to come and go theres no hassle . Rooms r clean n cosy n have what u need and the sea view was great asset its right on beach front across road and one min ifthat away from tram stop to all piers and fair and town centre one stop away to central pier etc

Brilliant stay, for me and 4 children the room was huge, more than enough space for me and 4 children ranging from 2-16 . Beds were nice and comfy, blackout curtains , big windows, hot shower, plenty of storage so many drawers! peasant and helpful staff. Was on The nice quiet less busy part of Blackpool . We will deffinatly be coming to stay again! Thankyou to Richard who was very helpful. I’m

i wouldnt stay there again it was disgusting

Plenty of parking,staff very helpful,plenty of space in the familysea front room everythingthere you would need,comfy beds, clean would definitelystay again for the price brilliant location if you don't want to drive the tram stops are just across the road

the room was poor,no extractor in bathroom ,shower would not turn off, no milk for brews ,rubbish under the bed, very dirty windows,the roof panels fell in on our heads in the night full of water and the water kept flowing, had to sleep in the car till early hours then left, lock to the door was poor(easy to break in).Tried to contact manager through emails and tel; no reply.

Bar an issue with the lights in our room, we found the bed comfy, the shower good and the hosts pleasant. Free parking was available and breakfast was good for the price.Price to stay there was very reasonable.

Really nice hotel, nice piss and quiet, very good for families with children,close to city centre, thank youso much and hopefully see you soon

We paid £46 for one night and it was worth every penny, great hotel for low budgets, clean and presentable, en suite room a bonus. Breakfast was an extra £7 but again worth every penny, sausages were amazing. Very helpful and friendly staff, great service (even early hours when we couldn't figure out how to use the door!!). Would recommend.

Lovely relaxing lovely host attentive and lots of information taxi, trams,food places, clean nice room will definitely stay again.my children enjoyed!

Really polite staff. Great location for the nightlife in Blackpool. Easy check in service. No issues at all.

Disgusting, Thilthy no working toilet no hot water no heating minimum bedding very small dingy bedroom the list goes on!!!!Want a full refund had no working amenities at all so only right we shouldn't be paying, complete rip off even down to car parking!!!!I want someone responsible for this terrible stay to get in touch and refund us...such a rip off very disappointed that hotels as bad as this are passed to open to unsuspecting people like us, beats me!!!!!

The manager was fantastic he could not do enough for us The hotel was in a lovely location but dated

The owners / staff were out of this world made you feel welcome, would definitely recommend.

Had a great weekend at Canasta,there were 5 adults and 2 young children in our party, the staff could not do enough for us especially the kids they were so helpful lit was fantastic, will definitely be staying with them again. Thanks again.

Fantastic staff and comfy beds slept like a baby

Good MorningThank you very much for your stay we hope you had a good weekend and look forward to seeing you againJamie & Team

Great night stay here, great location away from the noisy nightlife, room ready early which was a bonus, clean rooms. Excellent host and staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be returning.

Staff couldn’t do enough for us thank you so much for an enjoyable stay 😊

Response

Thank you for your feedback we hope to see you again and had a safe journey backJamie & Team

Best service ever staff were so friendly definitely returning

Although in need of a bit of TLC, the Canasta was OK as a one night stay for the show we were going to. Room was clean and mattresses were comfy and a good night's sleep was had by all. Staff could do with a bit of training in looking Happy 😊 although the chambermaid was cheery enough for the rest.. New blinds are fitted and make the room look good. Sockets for tv and kettle need improving. Spoke to manager regarding a wobbly bed. He wasn't aware but will replace now that he knows about it like a similar one the previous week. The cleaners have been told to check any beds/ furniture which might need replacing. Full marks for starting to bring it up to scratch a bit more.

After reading a lot of reviews I was dreading staying! I was pleasantly surprised when I got in my room it was clean and a lot nicer than I was expecting. Only bad point is check in and out times !

Clean, comfy hotel. Staff were very friendly nothing too much trouble. Manager was a mind off information would definitely stay again

We had a wonderful stay, a great view, comfortable bed and great shower. Staff were helpful and friendly.

It was OK but felt as it needed up dating in places the manager was veryHelpful and seemed to do everything to help you with your needs

For the night we stayed here after our visit to Chorley to see other half's family a visit to Blackpool and the Canasta was a nice change, staff were friendly and the sea view was amazing got to see the sun seton suite bathroom was a bit small for me but I'm not a small guy, the shower was hot and the beds soft and clean.

Room very clean, owner friendly. It is in a nice position with free parking. Would stay again.

Great location to different parts of Blackpool

Staff were helpful enjoyed it.

Staff were very lovely, really good location!

Another pleasant stay, our room was newly decorated, the bed was standard double and very comfortable. The room had a fabulous sea view!We will definitely go back, staff were very welcoming and friendly.

Fantastic welcome and stay. We were a group of 27 of us and we had a great stay. We were well looked after and hotel was ideal for the boys to walk into town. Would definitely go back there. Thanks again.

Owner very helpful and courteous with any enquiries

Had a lovely stay at the Canasta Hotel Blackpool, withMy wife and grandson.Rooms was clean and staffmember was very helpful and professional, and courteous at all times.

Comfortable bed, quiet, free parking.Reasonable price.Would come back

Very polite to us and our two girls.Went above and beyond our expectations.Lovely upgraded room too and late check out given to us.we will definitely be coming back.Thank you x

Staff friendly smelt fresh it was clean nice breakfast staff was happy to help with anything Only thing I could say was the banging door but it only happened during the day when people checked him never heard it through the night there was a Unhappy member of public there but then Manager deltwith I t very professional the other gessed was very rude trying to say that the hotel was Unlivable witch is not true I would stay there again thankyou to the manager that was very helpful and kind to us on our stay

Tying to find a family room for 5 is difficult. This was perfect for us as all in one room and didn’t have to get two rooms at twice the cost. Room was clean and had everything we needed

Good hotel clean and tidy with good friendly staff like Beccy on hand helped make our stay memorable

Loved the stay thank you

Great price., for this excellent location.Off season so was quiet .Friendly polite staff.Room was clean and good wufi and tv reception.Didn’t eat there due to up and out early and back late .

the room were clean, the staff were really feiendly amd helpful with everything there is a lovely bar downstairs and the breakfast was perfect id definatley reccomend! thank you

Had a realy good night sleep, breakfast was great, had booked for the sandcastle and realised we had left are towels at home, the lovely owner lent use a couple and aloud use to leave are car there and get a tram down to save on parking. Above and beyond ... lovelyHosts.

We had a very comfortable stay, just for one night, we were in the family room with a fantastic sea view, large double bed and 3 singles, perfect for large families, clean and comfortable, breakfast was lovely. Nothing was too much trouble thanks to Jay! I believe this hotel had previous bad reviews due to it being a bit run down, however, a lot of work has been done to refurbish the rooms and We recommend that you try it out, it’s in perfect location, not far from North pier.

It's a great hotel staff so friendly and kind rooms are spotless and very spacious will definitely be stay again 😎😎😎

A nice little hotel to spend a few days away, very close to the beach, local amenities and night life, only 10 minutes to Blackpool centre. The room was pleasant for the price we paid. The manager was amazing and very helpful, went out of his way to help our every need, Very polite and well mannered. Would definitely stay again.

The manager was very helpful and friendly,the bed was really comfortable;for the price was really good👍Thank you

Stay away!!! 0 stars given !! It was dustyand dirty worst room I have ever stayed in ! . Nothing good about the room . Pillow flat . Mattress lumpy. Window in bathroom broken . Mould in shower . Bathroom light above sink broken dust and dirty on floor. Carpet dirty and god knows what lump was on floor. Obviously never cleaned . And hoovered. I have sent pictures to hotel. They arenot interested or bothered

Arrived early at hotel was able to park my car until check in. Arrived to check in no hassle. Jordan the manager was very welcoming and went out of his way to give advice, directions and chat. Hotel could do with a little modernising but was fair, clean and comfortable. I didn't have to move my car once in the 2days of my stay which was a bonus. Situated facing the beach with a view of the lights and very close to the town center.I would stay again and I would recommend.

After readingreviewsI was a little nervous about staying! But after we have I would ignore the bad reviews clean friendly and a bargain for what you payAgain thanks another for a great stay

Excellent staff excellent price excellent all round

we stayed here over August Bank holiday weekend, our room was fine and comfortable,one or two little issues nothing major. plusit is expected for what we paid for, staff were always friendly and helpful, if you needed anything just ask no problem.. yes would stay again why not

Friendly Welcome..Rooms Very Clean.. Lovely SeaView..Overall Good Standard. 3 Star Hotel.

Nice clean hotel plenty of space great sea view room lovely staff wish we would of stayed longer will definitely going back next year

Nice place actually manager really helpful only issue no hot water untill 5pm but daft considering overall nice place but please turn your boiler on

Perfect location,excellent transport in front of hotel,large room,polite staff.

Not good needs updating very badly run

It was rubbish didn’t like the service at all I will put Down the complaint now and it was rubbish room was disgusted so star on this was no helpful at all no heaters on want to contact me it’s Kiran 07418036192

Stayed at Canasta Hotel last weekend with a group of friends and we had the best time!Great location and we had a lovely Seaview from our room.The Hotel is lovely and clean,great friendly staff who couldn't do enough for us.Full English breakfast on Sunday morning was top notch!We'll definitely be going back again.

Really comfy bed, great shower and beautifulsea view . Staff are friendly and welcoming. Easy access to town. Just a shame lift wasn'tworking as we were on top floor, but stairs were fine for us. Been before and definitelycoming again.

My daughter and her friend were happy with the accommodation. Asked for a fan as the room was roasting due to extreme weather, owner got them one. Would stay again

Stayed for 1 night with my son. The hotel was ideally situated just a couple of tram stops from the tower. We opted for a room with a sea view which my 3 year old loved, we watched a beautiful suunset over the sea.Staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was small but adequate. decor was tired but clean.The hotel was quite with a mix of families and adults, the bar area was too hot as the radiators were on, and the bar was poorly stocked.During the night there was a leak from the room above where it seemed the occupamnts had taken a shower and it had run down the wall into our room. As my young son was fast asleep i didn't make a fuss, and next morning there was nobody around to report this to. In fact the adjoining door toi reception was locked and we had to go out through the car park to get back in and leave the keys at reception.3 stars mainly for location. Would i stay again? Unlikely.

Hi, The wife and Me enjoyed our two night stay and will hope to come back very soonThanks Again.Paul & Angela Cooke

Excellent hotel, very clean and tidy, friendly atmosphere and lovely breakfast

Booked a 1 night stay for me and my little boy for a birthday. Staff were lovely and welcoming on arrival, very accommodating. Room nice and clean and very comfy bed. We ordered breakfast which was delicious and when I came down I was wished a happy birthday by the staff who had remembered from my little boy telling them on check in. Great stay 10/10. Thankyou.

Great parking,facilities and excellent staff always very helpful and friendly.The room was very clean and like most Blackpool hotel rooms they can be a little small , but our room felt very comfortable and both slept well in our doubleWould definitely recommend and will most definitely return again soon

We enjoyed our stay at the Canasta hotel. The staff were very friendly and couldn't have been more welcoming. The room was huge and big enough for our family of 5. Comfy and spotless beds. Decor is dated and needing some tlc however that doesn't reflect on our stay.The breakfast was lovely too.

Very friendly staff, clean room, comfortable bed, great breakfast, bar reasonably priced, parking available,10 min walk to tower etc and bus/tram stops outside hotel.Only negatives would be that the decor is slightly dated and slightly noisy pipe work but that did not effect our stay and the price for the room was very fair. We would stay here again.

Staff were really friendly and helpful, the Rooms were very clean and the location was great.

Me and my husband, son, mother and sister stayed here over the weekend we had a lovely stay,staff were very friendly and helpful and seem very hard working the hotel is in a lovely north shore spot with the bar lounge overlooking the sea there is free parking at the hotel and the manager was very kind to help us guide our extremely gigantic hire car into a parking space. We will definitely stay again.

All of the stuff were very kind.

It was a lovely stay very clean and great bed breakfast was beatiful noththind was too much trouble from the staff and very friendly will be back soon xxx

Our room was on the top floor. Lift was out of order. Not good for nearly 60 years old climbing 4 floor flights of stairs with luggage . They told us the drey had not arrived so they only had cans of fosters 3.50 each for a60p can .only bought 1 each . Room not very clean. Windows not clean . bathroom had bits of the door on the floor so obviously not been cleaned before we got in . Having said that the staff were friendly and attentive but we won't be staying again. It would neve win four in a bed

Had a amazing time staff very friendly hotel very clean, will be booking again

The only thing I could say was needed more drinks in the room but all we had to do was ask and they got us them so nothing bad at all xx

The staff made the trip up from Cornwall worth it they would do anything for you such a great team highly recommend!!

We had a lovely stayhelpfulfriendly staff. Cleantidy roomwe had breakfastit was nicegood servicenothing was to much trouble

Had great 2 nights stay in this hotel. Was welcomed by friendly team of employers whom made my stay enjoyable with their open hearts!Thank you to the Manager Jay, assistant manager Tammi,Raz the cook and other staff members!Highly recommended this place for staying in... Reasonable pricing considering the beach ???? is few feet away!

Thank you. Under the circumstances a very pleasant stay. We will come again

Brilliant stay, will be back again the hotel was lovely and the staff fantastic. Thankyou and see you again soon

very pleasant and helpful staff .good breakfast even though there was eight of us.rooms were very clean we would stop here again thank you for a good weekend

Great team warm and welcoming comfy bed clean room great breakfast

Was a bit apprehensive staying in a hotel alone, but I needn't have worried as i was made very welcome. Nothing was a problem so helpful. Room was clean and bed comfortable. I would definitely stay again and would recommend it to family and friends

Was met by the manager Jay who was so welcoming and on the ball regarding covid and the regulations. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Tammy the young barmaid was so helpful with everyone and nothing was too much trouble for her.Breakfast was lovely..fantastic value..Service again was brilliant..For a young team running the hotel you are all awesome and made our night away Brilliant. Thankyou to you all we will back again for sure.Jo and Colin xx

My and family and myself really enjoyed our stay at the Canasta Hotel, the new management and staff are very friendly and are there to help if you need them. We will definitely be visiting again.Thank you all.

Wasn’t happy with this hotel at all. The beer didn’t Taste good like it had been watered down, there was no entertainment even though I was told on the phone there would be, they were running late for breakfast which the food was not it’s best plus with paying over £130 for one night for a family sea view room, the room was dirty with a little window plus no Signal on the TV. Sorry to say but will not be staying her again!!!

We recently stayed on a Saturday night with our 2 young children aged 4 and 1. We had a good sized family room with a sea view, tea and coffee facilities in the food, it was clean and tidy and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the location is great sitting right on the beach front and just a short walk out of the nightlife to not be disturbed by late night drinkers! We would definitely recommend the hotel and would look again in the future. The only point I would say is the parking out the front made it hard to get to the hotel with the pram, we had to lift the pram over the cars to get through so maybe a small walkway round the side of the car park would be handy for families. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay, breakfast was also lovely and very reasonably priced! Was a lot easier with young children to eat in the hotel then wander round for a cafe! Overall, pleasant and good value for money.

Excellent accommodation, and at very late notice. Would definitely go again. Recommended.

We were made to feel very welcome as soon as we arrived by the owner & his staff.Clean cosy rooms & the bed was comfy. Reasonable location not too far from the North pier. I would recommend this hotel.

Hotel was in a great location north of the pier.Host was friendly and helpful.Bed was comfortable and clean. Tea making facilities in the room were a bonus and so was having an en-suite.No breakfast was available but it was there first week or so after lockdown. Free parking though its easy to get blocked in. Excellent value for money.

The staff was lovely just needs alot of work to get up and running properly, I'm sure Chris will make a good job of it

We were here last week and we had such a fantastic time we came again this weekend. Everything it clean and comfortable, the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Blackpool

My stay at the canasta Hotel was fantastic. Very nice, helpful and friendly host's. I was very comfortable at canasta as I was travelling as one guest. My sea view room was just amazing to watch the sun set, beautiful. Yes Chris and Tom, I will definitely be coming back.

Anotherenjoyablestaythanxto Doughie and all the team JimandLiz

Great Breakfast , Adequate rooms some with Sea View , and parking. Not ar from the action but far enough away to be quiet. The best o both worlds

Stayed here a few times now.. lovely owners and always welcoming, rooms have always been comfortable and clean, breakfast is amazing, we,ll be back again for sure.

We had a good stay at the Canasta hotel. Everywhere clean and tidy. The staff were very helpful and the food was very good.

The friendliest hotel in Blackpool, from the owners to the staff and the other guests, it’s a fantastic atmosphere where nothing is too much trouble. A place where people arrive as holidaymakers and leave as friends. Just love this place xx

Another return visit to a great hotel. Glad we came back, as owners are retiring from hotel trade and selling up. So was nice to say goodbye and good luck. Have been returning her for quite a few years now. XxGood Luck for the future xx

Love this hotel . Just far our of town to avoid lots of noise but near enough for a nice walk down or a very cheap taxi.Breakfasts are amazing set you up for the day.We will be back next year .

Been coming to canasta hotel since last year been few times, very welcoming are Doug and Mandy. Very clean rooms every time we have stayed. Breakfast is amazing. Staff are very friendly and pleasant.

Great service and welcoming people. Lovely free tea and coffee and lovely room with everything you need. Fairly priced. The only negative is the breakfast was not the best. Loved the clocks and signs on sale

Combined a weekend at the Canasta with a visit to the Tower Ballroom on Saturday. As it was the last weekend of the lights, the karaoke was on Friday AND Saturday, and was great fun. We had a superb weekend and we will be back again, next year. Thanks to Doug, Mandy and the team, JohnS.P.S. The Canasta bar service beat that of the bars in the Tower Ballroom hands down. (No queuing for 20 minutes to get a pint!)

My wife and I stayed at the Canasta Hotel for four nights at the end of October we had great time, a big thank you to all the staff. We met some really nice other guests as well and we will return next year. Thank you.

Dougie & Mandy,As always you make everybody welcome and nothing is to much trouble. We love the Canasta sea views brilliant and lounge is very relaxing looking forward to our next stay.

Thanks very much Linda - much appreciated

We have been staying at the Canada for the past 7 years We have brought family and friends along with us and now they also stay here when I’m Blackpool.Doug and Mandy are excellent hosts and nothing is too much trouble to make your stay enjoyable and memorable.Hotel is clean and tidy definitely Home from Home to us . Would fully recommend people to stay here , value for moneyanothergantadtic weekend as always , will be back here soon it will be our third visit this year.

My son and I last stayed in 2006 (when he was 13) and we had fond memories of a lovely stay. This trip was a walk down memory lane for the Hotel and Blackpool.Neither disappointed.We arrived early and were immediately offered a hot drink and on checking were told our room was ready so able to check in.Seaview twin room was clean and tidy. Small bathroom but did the job. Decent TV and well stocked tea/coffee tray.Breakfast was great and nothing was to much trouble. Long time since I indulged in some fried bread...tasty and crunchy..Breakfast set us up for the day and kept us going till mid afternoon.Ensured we made it back to the hotel each night for a nightcap and was happy with the selection and prices.Checked out but were able to leave our bags at the hotel till later in the day allowing us one last day in Blackpool.Will definitely vist again.

We had a good stay at the Canasta. The reception area was nice and clean. The rooms were always clean. The breakfast was good and as always we were greeted with tea or coffe The staff were freindly and helpful at all times. We would stop here again and recomend peaple to stop here.

What a gem of a place... staff so friendly and welcoming... breakfast was amazing... room basic but clean... comfy beds....location spot on for us... wewill definitely book here again

We stayed for 3 nights. Accommodation basic but clean and the atmosphere very friendly. The owners did everything to make our stay there comfortable. Would stay again.

I found this hotel clean and comfortable.Very reasonably priced in a perfect location that suited my other requirements.Without a doubt I’d use this hotel again when visiting.

Have stayed at the Canasta several times now and have never been disappointed. Hosts Doug and Mandy and their team make you feel so welcome from the minute you arrive that it truly is a home away from home.Rooms are clean and comfortable and breakfast was superb.Entertainment comes in the form of Karaoke hosted by Doug and makes for a real fun atmosphere.To sum up, all round good value for money and a really friendly atmosphere ensure we wouldn't stay anywhere else on our trips to Blackpool now that we've found the Canasta, love the place.

Really lovely place to stay, the owners Doug and Mandy will make you feel very welcome. If you like to sing and sleep then Canasta in Blackpool is where it is at, I may visit again one day. Be sure to check out Doug's works of art via wood printing.Keep singing! :)

Very pleasant stay at the Canasta. The owners are very accommodating and really look after their customers. Thank you.

Very enjoyable stay good food clean room

This is our second time staying at this hotel and can say the room was very comfortable with a nice bathroom with a bath. The breakfast is amazing. The only negative I can say is the room was noisy at the back from the road.

Thanks Rebecca for your repeat business and constructive comments.Its much appreciated.I\'ll take a look at the window seals and get them replaced if needed - maybe time for new closings on them

Stayed in Room 6 lovely seaview room with sofa and large bed. Room very clean and bed comfy.Breakfast really good and plentiful. Would recommend this hotel.Lovely location.

Stayed here before many years ago but has since changed hands. The rooms are tidy comfortable and the shower room was clean. The proprietors got everyone involved in the evenings for karaoke. The breakfast was pleasant and the waiting staff were very helpful.On the whole it was a pleasant stay.

Just come back from a weekend break and the hotel is so homely and very friendly with cracking hospitality. Kids loved it and will definitely be going back again soon.

Thank you Dougie, Mandy and Daniel and all the staff at Canasta for a very warm welcome and friendly service, nothing was to much for them and we will return later in the year. Sue & John (Scotland)

Can't fault the hotel. Rooms were clean, friendly staff and breakfasts were great. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.

Thanks very much for your custom

Staff very friendly & polite nice little hotel clean & tidy nice sea views ideal locationwithin walking distance to town pubs clubs etc etc.

Fantastic views, excellent hosts, well worth the price...

We were made very welcome and the breakfasts were excellent.The downstairs was very clean but the shower in the bedroom needed cleaning and there were hooks missing on the bedroom curtains.We have stayed at the Canasta several times and would go back again.

We would like to thank Mandy, Doug, Daniel and staff for another great break at the Canasta our (10th). We recommend the Canastato anybody looking for a comfortable hotel that offers great value for money and service with a smile always.Thanks again see you next year.Pat and steve Jobson

Once again a fabulous stay thank you

We stayed here for 2 nights in November 2016 upon arrival the hotel looks very inviting and inside very inviting too, a warm welcome from the owners/staff.The hotel is very clean and so was the rooms we had, there's everything you need in the room for your stay a little like been at home.There's unlimited tea/coffee in the lobby and the full English breakfast was amazing.I would highly recommend this hotel and all the people that own/work there as they make you feel so at home.Thankyou for the lovely stay at canasta.

thanku for a hassle free free stay and friendly welcome a great breakfast we will defo come agaun

Third time at the Canasta, staff are excellent,Owner/Doug friendly and helpful, the whole team work hard to make your stay perfect, room 10 showing some war wounds from a busy summer but very clean and comfy, breakfast amazing, great location bus stop and tram stop just over the road, nowhere better in Blackpool

We stayed here for one night on the 19th November. It was very much a last minute booking following a recommendation by a friend. Although very much end of season, we were welcomed with a refreshing pot of tea from our host, who was very helpful. Our room was situated on the second floor and was as expected. A comfortable bed, en suite and practical. It did need a slight spruce up but nothing much else. Our breakfast on the Sunday morning was exceptional. All in all great value for money.

I have just spent my second weekend in this hotel and would advise people to go here. The rooms are a good size the staff can't do enough for you free teaall day and the Brekie is fab. We will b back next yearalex

We are always delighted to stay at the Canasta Hotel with a warm welcome and FANTASTIC breakfast! Looking forward to our next visit to Blackpool and The Canasta.

Such a lovely place all staff friendly and pleasant,the breakfast fantasic would definatly stay again .Thank you all at Canasta for most pleasurable stay ,Excellent all round

Spent 4 nights at this lovely hotel .Excellent service , staff fantastic , rooms comfy & cosy, breakfast amazing . Will definately stay again .

A warm welcome by our host Doug, along with tea and coffee plus fruit juice for our grand children sets you off to a good start.We got room 20 with sea view the room was ideal for us all the beds were comfy so no problem sleeping.The breakfast(big)was great.We would definitely stay again,as a couple or with the grand children,thanks again,. Eric

Been here a lot great family hotel good staff and a great breakfast good clean rooms see you soon will be back

Had an enjoyable stay here the breakfast was great and gav the barman makes a mean cocktail.would stay here again

As always the Canasta team Doug,Mandy,Dan and Gavin provided a great stay (as always).Loving the new style breakfast good quality and delicious.Keep the great work up and see you all at Easter.Dave and me Julie

Could not fault anything about our weekend stay. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Nothing eas too much trouble. Breakfast was amesome! Will definitely be back. Many thanks to you all.

Just returned from 3 days holiday at the Canasta Hotel, Lovely hotel & staff all welcoming & friendly. Rooms are big & clean, with a en-suite toilet. Full English breakfast in the mornings which is very filling. Hotel not far from Blackpool town & there is a tram service right outside the hotel which operates a brilliant service. Best to get the £5 day saver you can use the tram any time for 24 hours going up & down the promenade.

arrived early met by mandy very nice lady ,welcomed us with a cup of tea,room was very clean towels soft and fluffy WHITE bed comfy room nicely decoratedBREAKFAST WOW,STAFF nothing to much trouble WILL BE BACK !!!!!

we stayed on the Friday 30th sept & on arrival we were early but our room was ready we were offered tea or coffee just what was required the room was more than adequate for the 3 of us makaya our granddaughter loved the room.the lounge area & the team were brill the breakfast was superb makaya had the pancakes lovely in which nana also enjoyed karaoka was on but we never heard a thing in our room, great value for th eprice well done

Perfect base for a weekend away . Beautiful seaviews . Right by a tram stop . Wonderful breakfast and fantstic barman.

The Canasta is a good value for money hotel situated on the North Shore seafront. Public areas are clean and tidy and the Karaoke and cabaret at week ends are a great bonus, breakfast is good with a varied selection and you can get tea or coffee at any time for free. The rooms are a bit tired with some small repairs needed and some work which wouldn't cost a lot to tidy them up but they are clean and you are only sleeping in them . All things said it is worth a visit and we will certainly return in the future.

Really can't fault the Canasta - last time we stayed we were last to leave the bar and enjoyed the entertainment and karaoke- this time we had a young kid with us so had to head to out room early - but staff were happy to supply wine glasses and an ice bucket to take up with us! Breakfast as always was magic! See you all again doon - thanks x

We highly recommend the Canasta Hotel, it was clean, comfortable rooms, a 5 star breakfast, friendly helpful staff, would definitely stay again

Arrived at Canasta Sunday afternoon, staying 3 nights with my wife and 2 good friends in September. We were quickly met by owner and offered free tea or coffee and were shown to our rooms. We were allocated one of the back rooms as wasn't bothered about sea view. Room was clean with small ensuite,television,tea & coffee etc.First night bar stayed open till about 11.30pm as there was a few people in but after Sunday there was only 6 people staying so bar closed early.Best thing about this place has to be the breakfast, served between 9 - 9.45am. Plenty to eat big breakfast plus juice and unlimited tea & coffee.We had a very pleasant stay with no hassle and free parking outside for the car.

Very clean rooms great English Breakfast and friendly staff. The owners are very welcoming and even the guests are friendly! Karaoke on Fridays and good entertainment on Saturday evening. Trams are close by.

Stayed in room 16. The view was wonderful, breakfast was delicious and hosts very friendly. Will definitely stay here again. Thank you.

Just had a lovely few days at the Canasta.Have stayed quite a few times now and always enjoy our stay, lovely friendly staff and a breakfast to die for.Nice comfortable room with a lovely ses view.

This was our third stay at canasta, we just stayed three nights over the weekend anouther couple and we love it. This is not just any hotel it's very homely and all staff take an interest in what your doing for the day, night, and always there for when you arrive back after been out for the day offering you a tea coffee as soon as you step through he doorI've stayed at many hotels and never felt as welcome as we do at the canasta. Where looking to book our next visit for October. Ps Special mention to Gavin he was lovely recommending drinks from the bar and always there for a chat see u soon gav from the four of us from Hull.

Very good service with a smile :-)enjoyed our stay and would return.Breakfast was outstanding the best in Blackpool

We very much enjoyed our three-night stay at the Canasta.The hotel is conveniently-located and has lovely views over the sea.Staff are friendly and accommodating; we were particularly impressed with the availability of free tea, coffee and orange squash in the lounge during the day.Breakfast was well-cooked and plentiful, and it was good to have until 10am to order it.Our room was quiet and the beds were very comfy indeed.In-room refreshments were topped up every day.This is by far the best-value hotel we have found in Blackpool; we definitely plan to return next year.

Fab as usual. Thanks again

stayed many times & never had any issues. Rooms comfortable, breakfast very good.The service from the staff was exceptional.Highly recommended.

excellent hotel,excellent service room was very comfortable enjoyed the karaoke nights, hope to return late october. thank you Doug,Mandy,Dan and Staff for making our holiday very enjoyable see ya soon !!!!!!!

We have stayed here 3 times now, and the service is great. The big breakfast is very filling. The room is always clean and there is tea and coffee in the room There is a bar but wehave never used it.

great weekend as always staff go out of their way to make you welcome. great company and laughter good time had by all hope to be back again soon.

Once again had a great time at canasta .staff cant do enough for you all rooms are spotless . Breakfast is great . Cant wait to stay again.

We have stayed at the canasta every year for the last 8 years to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Last year we recieved a free upgrade to the honeymoon suite which was a really lovely surprise.The staff are really attentive, friendly and accomodating and gav the barman makes amazing cocktails! I reccomend the canasta special 😃Comfy beds, clean hotel, amazing brekky and great value for money...Wouldnt stay anywhere else when we visit blackpool.Book your stay -you will not be disappointed.Shell and Ant

We had a lovely break at the canasta hotel. We all had a good night sleep with no disturbance. Couldn't fault the family room with sea view. Lovely big breakfast.All staff was friendly and prefessional. Nice to be asked if we wanted a tea and coffee when we walked in the hotel. Would stay again if we was to come back to Blackpool again.

thanks for hosptality great staff see yous again soon

6 family members stayed for 1 night in August. All of us enjoyed our stay, all staff members made us feel very welcome and were very friendly, nothing was to much trouble. Free tea and coffee at any time in the sun lounge is a wonderful addition and was greatly appreciated by all , especially my 85 yr old mum. The full English breakfast on offer went down well and kept us full for most of the day.The only negative was other clients smoking right outside the entrance door. As non smokers it was very unpleasantto have to walk through this haze of smoke and they did also block the entrance somewhat. Can I suggest that smokers are made to stand away from the door to keep this exit free.

Had a great weekend room comfortable breakfast fabulous hotel entertainment good really had a good stay definitely book again

Instead of being just a customer we were greeted as friends.and made to feel wanted unlike most B&Bs/hotels we have stayed in.the lift is a bonus for ppl that have probs with stairs. Nothing was too much for the staff. give them a try and you will be going back each year for your vacation. thank you canasta for a great stay

We had a great couple of days, staff all friendly & welcoming. Breakfast was fab with a great selection to choose from, views from the hotel were just beautiful, we will definitely be back, many thanks again

Great hotel very friendly and good food

I have stayed here twice now with my daughter and grandchildren opting for a family room. Location is ideal away from the rowdy crowds with the children. A short walk to the north peir. Tram stop pracically on the door step. Parked the car outside so no worroes there. beds comfy and hotel very clean. prices are very reasonable and it includes breakfast. Last Saturday entertainment on if you wanted to join in, we had room above and it did not disturb us. I highly recomend trying this hotel if looking for a decent place to stay.

This hotel always delivers. In its price range it is most definatley a 5 star and the staff are superb. Couldn't ask for more and never stay anywhere else in Blackpool. We have visited numerous times as a couple, with our children and with my 90 year old mother. Simply the best

As usual the service was second to non.The staff couldn't have been more helpful if they tried, nothing was to much trouble, right from when we arrived to when we left.The room was as always immaculate.I will always recommend this hotel to anybody & everybody, I will also be back next year for my sons birthday treat (this was his third time)

Stayed here quite a few times and the service has not altered from the first time we stayed 4 years ago ,the breakfast is amazing.the canasta has a lovely friendly atmosphere and look forward to staying again in the near future ,thanks again, les rogers and family .

Came for one night at the canasta & had a brilliant night! - was welcomed by Gavin who was very polite & helpful at all times! was always there when we needed him, a credit to the hotel. breakfast was great! not to over facing after a few beverages the night before. overall brilliant stay & will definitely be coming to this hotel again the next time we are in blackpool.Katie & Ayronxxx

We allow ourselves a stay in Blackpool occasionally, we always try to stay at the Canasta.

We booked a family room which consisted of 2 double beds which was perfect. It was the first time we'd been to blackpool as a family and we all had a brilliant time. We all slept very well and was always asked if we wanted tea or coffee in the lounge/bar area. Breakfast was excellent and kept us all full all day! We will definitely be returning. Thank you.

Very good as usual. Fab breakfast. Lovely large room. See you later in the year.

was made feel very welcome.great view from large room.excellent breakfast.woul stea again.

A very enjoyable stay lovely and clean room,lovely staff,and a beautiful breakfast.

This is our 4th stay at the Canasta and never fails to disappoint. Excellent welcome, clean and warm room and fantastic breakfast as always. The waiter/ waitress at breakfast were very nice, polte and well organised. 10/10 we will be back, thank you.

Excellent stay at canasta , our room was spotless & perfect for us . On arrival we had a warm welcome from Mandy , breakfast was absolutely amazing ( it always is ! ) 10/10 for everything . Thank you for a fantastic 4 days . Will be back soon .

We have stayed a number of times at the Canasta hotel and enjoyed every visit, so much so that we had to book an extra night on a couple of visits. They are not joking about the Big Breakfast, and cooked to perfection!

Our stay at the Canasta was cut short due to unforseen circumstances at home. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and were made to feel very much at home. The Karaoke was excellent as were the Big Brekkies!! Thanks for having us.

Just came back from a one night stay at canasta hotel and i can say it was a lovely atmosphere and the staff were all helpful and friendly, our room was basic but clean but shower was not the best but fine for what we wanted, Breakfast was lovely and very good staff to hand if you needed anything.

Usually when we go away we stop at one of the chain hotels like premier inn, but this time we decided to go for a local hotel and this did not disappoint! Friendly greeting and a cup of tea when we walked in the door, a nice way to start.The room was great, it did say it was small in the description but we didn't realise that it was going to be as small as it was - this wasn't an issue for us but if you like space go for a bigger room.The hotel is in easy walking distance to all the major attractions in the city.The breakfast was superb! The full english filled you up for the day, and the salmon as also fantastic. We didn't get to try the pancakes as it was quiet when we went so they ran a limited breakfast menu.We would defiantly come back again!

very frendley and helpful stayed here twice now and would go back again

What can i say, me my mum,dad & partner were all made very welcome. Rooms were lovely all staff very friendly the breakast was amazing. Full credit to Mandy and the Team will defo be coming back to stay soon. We also met some regular customers who have been staying here for some time, they were fantastic lovely people who we hope to also see again soon. 5* for eveything not a foot wrong. Thank you x

Stayed for 2nd time for 1night on 28th november 2015 .. great hotel with great customer service . Staff cant do enough to make your stay a fun time would recommend to all ages .. prices are a bargin grab while you can

Fab hotel. Massive breakfast or homemade pancakes. Free tea 🍵 and coffee 🍵 all day. Mandy the host really welcoming and great at karaoke. Ser you next year x

We had a lovely weekend, stopping at the canasta hotel. When we arrived, we had a warm greeting and was offered tea and coffee. The hotel is very clean and the rooms are small, but cosy. The breakfast was superb, with excellent waitress service. Tea and coffee is offered all day, free of charge. I would certainly go back to this hotel and recommend to family and friends. The hotel is positioned in a quiet location, away from rowdy bars but not to far to walk into town. Best hotel I have ever stayed in Blackpool.

Ideal location, great host, will definitely be back

We were here for the illuminations with 2 and 4 year old, perfect location just past north peer and tram stop across the street. We had a family room and were really surprised how big it was. Breakfast was epic!! Definitely stay here again

This is my 2nd time I've stayed at the canasta hotel and I will definitely be staying again. All the staff are very friendly. Soon as you walk in the hotel you are offered tea are coffee it's free all day long. We had a lovely sea view room. The big breakfast as everything on and was lovely. I think this hotel is for all ages. I'm 44 I stayed with my mum & son who is 12 my daughter also had a lovely room with her boyfriend and they are 19 and said they would stay again. There a karaoke night why we was there it was a great night.

We stopped for the sixth / seventh time for four days.Really good family run Blackpool Hotel with great hosts and friendly guests. It took several poor hotels before we found the Canasta.Will not go anywhere else in Blackpool.

We stayed 2 nights basic room amazing breakfast great value for money great location too

Had a great stay.. very friendly. . And breakfast amazing.. me and my partner came away for a break.. but next time we come it will be with our kids.. because very child friendly. . Thanks for making us so welcome

Nice clean hotel,great breakfest nice friendly owners and staff.Will be staying again.Many thanks

Very Friendly bed & breakfast, clean rooms and great breakfast.Great location.

We wanted to stay in a local B&B that was suitable for our two children, the canasta was just that, friendly, comfortable and quiet. Lovely guests as well as staff, would definitely recommend xx

Very comfy hotel cant do enough for you and the breakfast and service excellent

Very attentive cheerful staff.Tea/Coffee offered as soon as you walk in.Lounge area very bright and welcoming and the bar prices very reasonable.Bedroom a bit dated but clean and sufficient.About 10 mins walk from tower

Fabulous break at the Canasta. Great breakfast, Free tea /coffee all day and night, newspapers, nice guests and Doug, Mandy, Daniel go out of their way to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

The canasta hotel is a friendly welcoming place - staff are always on hand to ensure you have everthing you need.Would not stay anywhere else in blackpool.Looking forward to next year already. :)

This is our second stay at the Canasta and just as brilliant as the first .Room was great and Doug Mandy and Daniel made us feel very welcome . The breakfast is amazing and the staff are very friendly

Lovely stay at the canasta. Rooms are basic but clean. Staff are very friendly and food excellent. Will definitely be returning there on our next trip to sunny Blackpool 😀

As always we had a great stay at the Canasta Blackpool hotel.Convenient spot for catching buses and trams and we always get a carpark.Plenty of tea, coffee and milk in the room and the breakfasts are first class.

This was about the fifth time we have stayed at the Canasta. It is always pleasant and welcoming. Nice and clean. Lovely Breakfast.We'll be back.

We were 100% happy with our stay here at Canasta. the hotel is a well maintained and the rooms were basic but lovely. The breakfast was amazing. We would definitely stay here again. A member in our group has struggles with steps (they are quite steep at the entrance) but there is a lift to your room. Handy tram stop outside x

Love this b&b. The staff are friendly and helpful. The drink prices are very good and the breakfast is outstanding:)

Very clean and friendly place. Brilliant staff. Good location. Had a really good weekend, would stay again.

We were a group of 12 staying for the weekend. I cant speak for the other rooms but my room number 31 and my mums room, number 27, were lovely. Clean and tidy. Bathroom was clean. All windows and doors etc opened and closed properly. Breakfast was nice and the staff didn't mind us being awkward and making our own breakfasts up! Although pancakes and mushrooms were missed! The staff were polite and helpful, especially the guy begin the bar. And whenever we were waiting in the lounge for the rest of our party, we were offered tea/coffee. Overall, very good stay and well worth the price 😊

We enjoyed our stay the staff were all very helpful nothing was to much trouble. The room was clean and bed comfortable. Breakfast was very good, we would come again. X

Stayed here last week in July 15. We arrived early in the morning,and we were met with a warm welcome from Doug who arranged tea and coffee for us and to our surprise he said we could have our room right away. We found the hotel staff very friendly and the breakfast was first class. We hope to return soon as we had a great holiday. Many thanks.

The Canasta is not just a hotel its home from home, worthy of a 5 star ratingwe were friends or family not just customers,nothing was too much for the staff,rooms comfy clean well equipped with all anyone would needa bonus was the lift as I am disabled

Situated just a 10 minute walk from the main hustle and bustle of Blackpool it offers a quiet location to stay whilst being within easy reach of the Town Centre.From stepping through the door we were made welcome with tea and coffee.Superb breakfast which set you up for the day.Nothing was too much trouble.Great value for money and we will be back.

Me and my wife have been to the canasta a few times and the lovely staff never seem to fail our expectations. The breakfast is amazing, fresh produce and top quality, the black pudding was that good I bought some to bring home.The rooms are clean and tidy and the overall hotel is immaculate.We have only just came home and already booked again for September, there is no other hotel for us than this one, again the staff are brilliant nothing is a problem. Not many hotels offer free tea and coffee all day!Thanks for the lovely stay.Les and Sue

Very nice,very friendly.Will come again.

My husband and I stayed at the Canasta Hotel 7 years ago. We enjoyed the experience so much we returned again. All the staff are so friendly, breakfast is to die for but most of all the rooms are clean and spacious.Would definitely recommend this and return again & again.

We weren't expecting much with a hotel which is, frankly, in the budget range but we were pleasantly surprised.The hotel is clean and comfortable, the owners and staff are really friendly and the breakfasts are magnificent.Free tea and coffee at any time is a nice touch.

Staff were 5*.Breakfast was excellent as expected.

Had a lovely stay very friendly staff and fantastic Breakfast. THANKS

We come every year as a family with about 9 of us, the staff are wonderful and helpful. The breakfast is amazing and they even help you set up and tidy up if you get take away of an evening. They will put karaoke on if there is enough demand which is great and so much fun because staff even have a go every now and again. The showers can be a bit akward to get the temperature right but not that big of a problem. Would recommend this to families of any size.

We have stopped at the Canasta before and have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. As usual the owners, all the staff and breakfast were excellent but I felt I had to mention our room (31) as it was very tired. Small things like ceiling lampshade askew, no window covering at all in bathroom, curtain in room hanging off due to coming unhooked, the general room decor and the fact that a plastic glass with rubbish was on the landing for the 2 nights we stayed, were to me all things that should have been rectified with a little attention to detail in the housekeeping.I am reluctant to point out these small faults as we did enjoy our stay but I am sure if it were me then I would rather be told then I could rectify them. Finally our findings would certainly not put us off staying at the Canasta when we are in Blackpool again so I hope this feedback is taken in the same spirit as it is given.

Thanks Peter for your honest comments.I think it\'s time we had a refresher course for all the staff.We\'re aware some room need re-decorating but times are hard.The bills keep coming in and it\'s getting harder to keep our heads above water.But we do what we can and if we have a busier year will definitely be re-investing any profit into decorating.In the meantime a refresher course on cleanliness and general sloppiness will be delivered to the staff.I\'m pleased you\'ll be coming back - we definitely appreciate your custom - and singing!:)

Fab B&B! The owners and staff are all really lovely, friendly and helpful. The room was great, gorgeous view of the sea and lovely, clean and tidy. Breakfast was great and a really friendly bar to sit and have a drink in the evening. Ideal location for the beach and short walk into Blackpool. Would definitely go back and recommend the Canasta :)

Just returned from a fabulous weekend away at the Canasta. Lovely, clean rooms and excellent selections for breakfast. We were all left satisfied. A big thank-you to all the staff for making us so welcome and their great service, in particular Carol and Doreen. We will be back!

This was our first time we stayed at this hotel. Me and my husband enjoyed our stay we had a sea view which was lovely we have booked to go back in October and December.

Stayed one night with a friend to have a night out at Funny Girls.Hotel was quite near short walk. Very clean, breakfast was one of the best we have ever had. Free tea and coffee throughout our stay.Thank you very much, will come again.

It’s been around 5 or 6 years since our last visit to the Canasta and we were not disappointed. Doug, Mandy and the team gave us a warm welcome and our return to the hotel was so friendly it was like coming home to family. We both agreed that the breakfasts are the best we have ever had! Hope to see you all again very soon and thanks for a smashing birthday weekend, love Rach and Jay x

good location, offered tea or coffee as soon as we arrived, rooms very clean but a little bit on the small side, breakfast must be the best in blackpool,warm and friendly hotel, would use again

Great hospitality and breakfast but room very small and basic but still good value.

Mandy, Doug and Dan thanks for a great stay.We have been coming to the Canasta for 10 years and they always make it feel home from home.Breakfasts excellent, service great and Kareoke at the weekend always gets people meeting each other. Great place to stay.

being disabled the lift was a bonus. Doug helped us with our bags. nothingwas too much trouble. breakfast is far too much for one person. lol

this is the second time we have stayed here and it most definitely wont be the last, great hosts, nice and clean, karaoke, met some really nice people, brilliant atmosphere. Fantastic breakfast and bar prices reasonable for a hotel. Had a lovely couple of days. Thank you for making us feel welcome.

Friendly, clean and tidy, great karaoke night and an awesome breakfast. Thank you Doug, Mandy, Carol and everyone for an overnight stay to remember and back to my title...More please!

myself and my partner stayed here recently and the staff are wonderful. very friendly! !! we had karaoke and a few drinks in the evening and the breakfast was the best we have had in Blackpool! We will definitely stay again. Thanks to all for making it a lovely stay.

We have stayed at a few hotels in Blackpool but when you find a place as homely, friendly clean and comfortable as the canasta we never stay anywhere else. We have stayed for weekends just the two of us and with our granddaughter and always have a great time. When we booked for New Years eve we knew we would enjoy our visit but we had the best party and made lots of new friends. Looking forward to our next visit

Booked two nights at the canastagreat location lovely room fantastic breakfast friendly helpful staff would stay again thanks richard and Christine tait

Friendly welcome offered Tea and Coffee on arrival free of charge.Bedding clean, room everything in it that was required make our stay comfortable.

This was our second stay at Canasta and as before we were welcomed with a smile and a pot of tea, staff were very helpful and friendly.Karaoke nights at the weekend are good family fun. Once again thanks to Doug, Mandy and all the staff for taking care of us. Had great weekend.

We arrived before midday but were greeted warmly and shown immediately to our room which, with the sea view, was very comfortable. Had some reservations at buffet style meals but the quality and variety provided was excellent.Would recommend the hotel to our friends.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Canasta. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Myself & my 2 daughters stayed from fri to mon, excellent location & very friendly staff - I would recommend and be back soonThankyou

Always good to stay at the Canasta.Good quality clean hotel with great breakfast.Ideal location.

Always good to return to Canasta.Good quality clean hotel with fab breakfast.Shower disappointing but everything else really good.

the canasta is a hotel worthy of 5 star rating. nothing is too much for them.drink tea/coffee all day long in the lounge watching the sea. great hosts we felt so welcome. the breakfast is to die for.plenty different choices to please even the descerning palate. close to the tram and bus stops private parking is available. i could go on all day......WELL DONE CANASTA

We were very impressed with Canasta Blackpool Hotel and all the staff.We received a friendly reception on arrival - our room had a sea view and was very comfortable with an abundance of tea and coffee and even a swan made from towels ! Breakfast was delicious and served quickly with smiles. Off-street parking was good. We would definitely recommend this hotel and look forward to returning soon. Thank you so much for a lovely stay.

The breakfast is so big & freshly cooked it sets you up for the rest of the day. Every time you walk through the door you are greeted with the offer of tea or coffee.for me this a brilliant touch. The bedrooms aren't large but are comfy.

Staff are friendly,good location and the free tea and coffee is a bonus.Although decaff tea/coffee being available would have been good as decaff coffee was available last time we came.

Lovely hotel with fantastic sea view and beautiful breakfast every morning

Once again very friendly reception,brilliant breakfast don't know how you provide this level of accommodation and service at the price -fabulous

Great room , location and breakfastClean and simple

An enjoyable stay,budget room basic but clean.Excellent breakfast,and plenty of it. Probably the best we have ever had in a Blackpool hotel.Staff all pleasant and polite.Only complaint was that the room was at the back of the hotel, which was too warm, no breeze even with the windows open.

Excellent value for a well positioned hotel not far from the North Pier. Friendly staff, excellent breakfast,clean and comfortable roomsThe only gripe we had, was that 50% of the lights in our room did not work.

Oh cripes.I'm going to whip the staff again.Their pain and humiliation could have been avoided if you had asked us to replace any lights that were not working.They wont be missing this again!:) :)Thanks for your business, Peter.We're so pleased that you'd recommend us.

Made to feel very welcome on arrival and a much needed pot of tea was offered on our arrival. Our room was very comfortable and very spacious and clean. The breakfast was excellent and the staff very polite and helpful.

2 night stay staff pleasant, room clean and tidy (although slightly dated) breakfast adequate.

Absolute tremendous place to stay in every respect, Canasta has a very warm welcoming atmosphere, which is backed up & run by fantastic hosts & their team of very friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble & always delivered with a big smile which is something rarely seen in most hotels. Breakfasts were top notch, drink prices at the bar very reasonable with free tea & coffee offered all day. In the words of Arnie - 'I'll be back" !!

Had the best time ever. Staff are excellent and constantly offering you free tea and coffee and I thoroughly enjoyed this. Great room and breakfast was amazing. Could not have chosen better. Will certainly be back, hopefully soon
