The Royal Boston Hotel by Compass Hospitality

Just spent a holiday weekend with family in the royal boston hotel, food was great, entertainment every night was excellent, room where clean and comfortable, staff was very helpful, will definitely be back next year a few minor teething problems but looking forward to coming with new travel company.

Really nice place ! Great location with easy access to trams etc. This place is extremely popular with the elderly clientel so there's no noisy families running around. It's also far enough away from the chaos of the centre of Blackpool. Very nice staff and the bar is great. Good evening entertainment if you like that sort of thing. The most important thing was that the room was very clean and there was even a big bath ! The WiFi worked perfectly. We decided against the breakfast but that was available for and extra £12. Wetherspoons in town was good value btw. Highly recommend this hotel.

Hotel is nothing like is advertised online. It’s very tired, dated and needs a great deal of money ploughed into it, to bring it up to date and improve it, to an acceptable standard and quality for its guests. The rooms are tired and in desperate need of a lick of paint and some general maintenance. The bathroom door in the bedroom was hanging off and was only being held on with one hinge, it didn’t even fit the door frame properly and didn’t close at all. We reported this issue shortly after arrival and were told it would be rectified the following day, but this didn’t happen. The shower was barely warm and you could only just say get into the cubicle with how it was positioned in relation to the step and the sink. The food leaves a lot to be desired, while it may be acceptable to the older generation, there is very little choice and if you go any later than the 5pm starting time, it is stone cold and at times inedible. I would of preferred the kids choice over what options were given each day. The staff in the bar and in the restaurant were lovely and attentive and happy to help. Entertainment was also very poor When this was owned by Blackpool promotions it was a great hotel and we have always have had a great time on past visits, it’s quite sad to see how much it has gone down hill and how quiet it is in comparison to other years. Unfortunately we wont be returning again.

Just returned from a 2 night stay here and it was great! All staff were very polite, friendly and happy to help. The rooms were clean and very comfortable (I work within housekeeping) and there wasn't anything i could complain about - especially for the price and location right on the sea front! Was a little bit of a walk from the station/centre but tram was handy and taxi was easy to get after going out for the night. All round a lovely stay for my birthday and will definitely book again!!

First time since it changed hands and last went all inclusive for a week 6 off us been going for years food was terrible lived off kids menu portions very small paid for drinks had 2 whiskys the full week as the house whisky was un drinkable other's said vodka and all other was tasteless i used to recommend it but not now would need to change and even then don't know if I'd take a chance to go back only thing the staff were very helpful as much as they could there hands are tyed always very cheerful and smile all the time we we're there it must be so hard for them as they we're getting it from everyone I've never heard as many people complaing in a week and they should remember they have a top class chef in their as we used to eat his food at the carlton hotel and there before it changed just hope they try and get it back to what it used to be give the staff a chance to run it properly they can

as a party of 6 couples in our 60s, we have visited this hotel a few times now and have loved it but unfortunately this time we were so disappointed. first I'd like to say the staff are great, very welcoming and friendly, no complaints at all, the entertainment every night was really good but the hotel itself has went downhill, the rooms need painted and the carpets need replaced or at least cleaned, the house keeping has had their hours cut so through no fault of their own we had to ask for clean towels, toilet roll and bins to be emptied when needed, the food menu as changed and unfortunately not for the better, if you don't like mustard, or spice then you need to eat off the kids menu, which a few of us had to a few times, there's no salad choice either, and the menus are the same every 3 days, we had to eat out a couple of times and as we were all inclusive this was unacceptable, this is no reflection on the chefs as we no they are good but can only serve what they are told as the menus made up by owners not the chefs, this hotel has been taken over by new owners so come on people get this hotel back to what it used to be like and what it deserves, food back to old or better menu and rooms cleaned up if done then it will be a great hotel again.
