The Withnell Hotel is often praised for its fantastic location, with the Pleasure Beach literally on your doorstep and South Pier and Sandcastle Waterpark also within a short walking distance. Guests appreciate the clean and spacious rooms, the plentiful and lovely breakfast, and its proximity to Velvet Coaster (Wetherspoons). While the parking behind the building has occasionally been mentioned as a bit cramped by some, the hotel is generally considered a great base for exploring Blackpool's attractions.

short walkwet patchpipe issue
The owner helped me park the car upon arrival. breakfast was excellent and a short walk took me to the south pier.
The heating had a maximum operable time of two hours, which wasn't ideal. I noticed damp, wet patches on the walls in multiple areas (i didn't know where this was coming from, honestly) which i found unpleasant. The water from the sink drained into the alleyway because the pipe did not quite connect properly. It's a big oversight.

Adequate Stay with Some Shortcomings

friendly ownersclean roomhot breakfasttight parkingbedroom drawersclothes storage
The owners were very friendly! My room was lovely and clean. I also really appreciated the hot, cooked English breakfast. It was delicious.
Parking behind the hotel seemed a bit tight. did not park well. the lack of drawers in the bedrooms was inconvenient. I found it difficult to store my clothes.
