We’ve just had a 3 night stay at Doric, we were pleasantly surprised having read a few poor reviews. The stand out for us being the restaurant staff, very helpful and friendly. The food was nice, especially the lasagne and there was a decent choice of vegetarian options for my daughter. The room was clean and functional, the main bed was comfortable but the mattresses on the bunk beds were not, my daughters could feel the springs ‘digging’ into them, there also didn't seem to be enough plug sockets, but there were 4 of us all with phones to charge etc. The general areas at the entrance, bar area, reception and dining area are all pleasantly decorated, however, the stairs and corridors on the first and second floors could do with a refresh, a bit thread bare in places, and we were not at all impressed with the indoor pool, it’s in the basement and is small, and seemed grubby so we didn’t use it at all. The outdoor pool however was very pleasant and it was a shame that the weather wasn’t very good so we couldn’t use it. Overall, if you’re looking for a good value place to stay in Blackpool, which is clean, functional with friendly staff, I would recommend the Doric.

Decent property but two points to note, we stayed 3 nights Tuesday to Thursday, on the last night a gang of new guests arrived, lots of noise, kids running around room corridors around 1am, rooms around TV blasting until 1am could hear everything. Hotel takes £50 per night damage deposit. For 3nights £150. A bit over the top. Given the current economic situation, school holidays, 4 days after my stay I am still awaiting the refund at the time of writing!

Stayed for 1 night. All staff were lovely & welcoming. What is not mentioned is you have to leave your car keys with them if using their parking. It was full on arrival, a local pay & display was out of order, but managed free on street parking nearby. Unfortunately there was a false fire alarm that panicked my daughter in the night, and our room was right next to a hallway door & noisy floorboards which woke us up a few times. I did not realise the location of the outdoor pool so we didnt use it which was a shame. Indoor pool is only 3ft deep We had a good stay but hoped for a bit more

Horrible beds/mattresses. The whole bed moved if person next to you moves. Same for the bunk bed too. Couldn't sleep the whole night. Shower was not working properly. Toilet flush was extremely slow too. The floor creacked and was extremely noisy. The only good thing was - they offered us food from al carte menu as dinner buffet was closed when we arrived.

Family stay
Overall a pleasant stay as a family of 3. Triple room was a reasonable size. Room was fairly clean but not spotless. Room was very warm particularly on day of arrival. Food was okay but not great quality, a reasonable variety and overall good value for money (half board). Outdoor pool was heated and well kept. Indoor pool had a strong chemical odour. Evening entertainment was good especially for younger children. Staff were generally very helpful. Used free on street parking nearby.

Great family hotel
Great location. Tram stop right outside the hotel. Literally took 5mins on tram, or 30 mins walk to the Tower/ North pier. Room was clean. Breakfast and evening meal was lovely. Staff were helpful and polite. An added bonus was the indoor/ outdoor pools. My 8yr old loved them. Great evening entertainment too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
