Wilsons Hotel - Blackpool Tower View

Avoid this place like the plague. I don't know where to start: Any good review of this place MUST be fake because we feel like we were catfished by this place. Be warned that none of the pictures online reflect this establishment. I believe they are either lifted from another hotel, or the images are from when someone else owned this place because they couldn't be more different. What hits you instantly is the smell, the strong odours of bleach, paint (even though nothing had been painted) and urine all combine to overwhelming effect. The rooms were disgusting, beds with mould, patches of plaster crumbling and thick layers of dust on every flat surface. The bathroom was similar, the toilet bowl was blackened and stained and obviously hadn't been cleaned in years, the shower head was black with filth and rot. The sink was filled with long black hairs and even the hand soap dispenser was crusted with filth. I can't believe that anyone could consider themselves a hotel operator and allow their establishment to get to such a disgusting and practically dangerous level of filth and decay. To top off the insult, there were in my opinion obviously fake thank you cards on the noticeboard in the lobby. Who would thank anybody for staying in this hellhole? A rat would turn their nose up at the filth inside. I sincerely urge anybody who considers this place to go ANYWHERE else. This is no contest the worst place I've ever had the misfortune of sleeping in in my entire life.

I booked a Double room-Superior-Ensuite-(Tower View). The owners were pleasant upon check-in. I had paid around £262 for 2 people for Thursday-Monday. There is no breakfast. The room was not what I consider superior and did have a strange smell to it. It was very dated and doesn't look like it has been refurbished for some time. Please see the photos I took. Yes, they are carpet covered bedside draws........ Even though I stayed for 4 nights, the room wasn't touched or cleaned at all during that period. It is very dated, had a decent view of the tower, but not somewhere I would go back. The photos on the website do not really represent how the hotel looks today.

Daylight robbery not the hotel in pictures should be shut down paid in advance left after 5mins the place was infested don't go near it they should get jail worst I've ever seen in my life fictious pictures stay away be warned stay away stay away don't get your money back we were robbed

Stopped here as a family 2 adults and 5 children across 2 rooms, comfy beds, basic room but toilet's in both, tea coffee , tv etc. 1 room has a tower view, Lovely friendly owners who couldn't do enough and very clean establishment. Would recommend and stay again.

Basically it was cheap and cheerful! It was just a place to get our head down. Great location of Blackpool

Booked a superior double room. Room and hotel in need of some TLC. Hair in the shower so didn’t use it. Bathroom taps need cleaned. Dirty walls. Room smelled like cigarette smoke despite signs saying guests not to smoke due to highly sensitive smoke detectors. Room looked as if it hadn’t been serviced in a while. Really dusty. Bed was soft and comfortable. Couldn’t open window as handle was very stiff and crumbling so didn’t want to chance it incase it broke! Only “superior” aspect of the room was that it had a view of the tower. On a noisy street (people shouting). There is a photo on the ********* website of a lovely communal are/room, we didn’t see if it or be offered access to it.

The hotel was ideally located for us, 2 minutes walk from the National Express bus stop and 5 minutes walk from the Winter Gardens or beach. We were welcomed by the owner Arif, a very pleasant chap. He gave us our keys and up we went to room 6. We had booked a twin room for Rebellion festival and it only cost the 2 of us £250 for 5 nights in the middle of the summer, so our expectations were not high. The room was small with 2 single beds with nice bedding. I didn't have the courage to look under the top sheet and mattress cover judging by the grubby state of the sides of the divan base. The room was dusty, the skirting etc haven't seen a duster for many months. The one small chest of drawers contained stained ancient lining paper, one drawer had previous guests' rubbish in it and another, a loaf of bread which had a sell by date 7 days previously. The tv only seemed to work on a couple of channels as the remote control (which was dirty and greasy and had no battery cover) didn't work properly. We didn't use it at all though, so it didn't matter. The shower room was dusty with old fittings, poorly decorated but the shower worked well, the cubicle itself had lots of black mould in the silicon around the bottom, but the shower curtain was clean. The tiles in the room which I would imagine had similar mould between them had been painted, badly. The paint was flaking in places. You might ask why I didn't complain, well my mate and I were here for the festival and just wanted somewhere to rest our heads, which we got. If I had complained, probably little could have been done and we would have been out on the street with nowhere to stay. We coped! What I really object to though is the pictures advertised on this site are very old, probably taken shortly after it was last decorated properly, a very long time ago. Everything has substantially deteriorated since then. Just a little ps here, I messed up on our bus ride home, booking the wrong date, so we rushed back to the hotel. Sam and Arif happily allowed us back into our room for an extra night for £40. Very nice people, very accommodating.

Terrible. Instant smell that stuck with me. Not clean No where to put clothes. 2 satches of coffee for 3 nights stay.left after 2 nights. Would have left after 1st night but tried to put up with ir. Freezing cd weather and the duvet was that worn and thin we had to go out and buy a 15 tog. Admittedly I did not ask about parking . Cost us 40 quid to park in back street which we did not feel safe about doing. Trying to load images. Tower View what a joke.through the dirty misty window could see top of tower.rang Hotel today as I had not heard back from ***********. trying to tell me that they are going to do me for damages to their door which apparent my bag hit off.REALLY..

the property was fine just needed updating
