We had a good stay at The Carousel. It was nicer than I had thought it might be. Clean bedrooms and bathrooms. Not the greatest views from the family rooms but then we were only there a night and spent most of our time out. We ate dinner at the hotel. They were able to accommodate a large party last minute. Whilst there were quite a few of us the other diners had already finished so it was only us in the dining room but it still took at least 45 minutes to be served. Nice breakfast. Would certainly stay again.

Stayed here years ago. Returned last week with kids and their gran. On arrival, check in was easy and staff were very helpful. However they had us on the top floor, and their lift is very outdated and small, so we struggled up three flights of stairs with children, a stroller, suitcases etc. As we got higher up, the heat smacked you in the face. We entered our room and could hardly breathe for stifling heat. We set up the fan and the window was already open. This was so uncomfortable that we ended up requesting to be moved room. We were moved down one floor but the room was just as hot. We used three fans during our stay, removed all duvets from their covers and put wet cold towels around the room to try cool it down. I have never been so uncomfortably warm in all my life - no exaggeration. It absolutely ruined the stay, as everything else you couldn’t really complain about. Breakfast was standard, not the best, not the worst. Seems more of a hotel for elderly visitors now.

this is a lovely family-style hotel (though equally suitable for people like us in a couple). beautifully clean throughout and a very comfortable room with all the facilities (coffee/tea, tv, safe, toiletries, plentiful towels etc). breakfast was selfserve and plentiful with good quality bacon, sausages etc (not the cheap stuff some places might use). lovely attentive staff, especially the ladies on reception, who seemed to really care you'd had a good stay. in addition we were allowed into our room on arrival which was earlier than the official checkin time. thanks Carousel, we loved our stay.

Me and my Partner enjoyed our stay, the breakfast was great the parking was hit and miss but we still managed to park. The only downfall was the noise, the walls seem to be quite thin and the first night we didn’t sleep well due to a few kids being loud but that’s not the hotels issue. Overall lovely stay and would definitely come again.

We stayed at the Carousel in summer and brought the children, the rooms and bathroom are lovely and clean (albeit a bit old fashioned but I don't care about that as long as it's clean). The breakfast is good with enough choice of food and drinks, the tram stop is opposite so it's really easy to get about. One thing is if you can't get there first thing then you might struggle for parking on the front, but on this occasion we managed to find one at the back of the hotel. I would recommend this hotel, it's one of the nicer ones in Blackpool and is good value for money.

After staying here previously we had a lovely stay so thought we would go again. The staff were mostly great, the room was fine albeit small for a family room. The bathroom was in need of a few repairs the sink sealant had gaps and was coming apart. The room smelt due to the extractor fan from kitchen being directly outside. The breakfast was very greasy but take that away it was lovely.. As a whole it was good although mainly used to lay head at night. Bathroom and extractor let it down.
