Hotel Sofia

Good location, cheap and cheerful. Clean and the guy was helpful even brought us an iron and board up to our room.

Lovely place

We stayed at Hotel Sofia for one night in July 2026. For the price, I would say the hotel is a good choice for an overnight stay in Blackpool if you're looking for somewhere to use as a base and to sleep. Our room was fairly basic, with no TV or breakfast included, but it was clean. It was clear that the new owners are making improvements to the hotel and are gradually working to enhance it over time. The hotel is just a few minutes' walk from the centre of Blackpool, making it a convenient location. I believe the hotel also offers limited paid parking outside. We parked on further inland on Reads Avenue, where there were no parking restrictions.

I understand that unexpected situations, such as a power outage, can happen. However, I was informed about the cancellation only on the day of check-in, while I was already travelling to the hotel. No alternative accommodation was offered, so I had to find another hotel myself at the last minute. This caused a lot of unnecessary stress and inconvenience. Although I eventually received a full refund through *******, the process took time and required several contacts with customer support. Unfortunately, I would not choose this hotel again.

AVOID AVOID AVOID. We arrived for a hen party but was informed all bookings had been cancelled due to no electricity. There was also a family of four There being told the same thing. But we we requested a refund for £541. 00 Were given lots of excuses and now won't answer the phone

When we had to check in they told that they had cancelled booking and we had to find different place on spot with 10 weeks old baby

Sunil was amazing. He was so helpful and accommodated our late arrival. He was so kind even helping us with our luggage.

2nd night in accommodation all OK, not a lot of extras, fairly basic, but clean, small rooms, and pleasant staff when you saw them. No TV's in room OK for me, but may not suit everyone. Quiet position, provided basic tea, coffee, sugar & milk in lounge only, but we were prepared and took our own electric kettle. Convenience store nearby, easy flat walk to Winter Gardens and restaurants. Not much further to beach. Mainly 4 stars as cheap and very handy, with parking.

Small room but adequate, clean, although shower had some black mould that could do with sorting. No TV in room, but good Wi Fi signal. No breakfast, but provided free tea coffee and milk, paper cups and sugar in lounge area. Lounge area not really utilised, did have a TV, but no one used it, Only saw staff once, but I believe live on premises, did provide a phone number to ring if needed anything. Seemed helpful. but never saw them only the once. Never saw any housekeeping. Quite area. Cheap, straightforward, basic accommodation better than quite a lot in Blackpool. Parking £10 a day extra if needed but also next door to a pay as your park, car park 24 hour.
