Lyndene Hotel Blackpool England Review
The Lyndene Hotel, Blackpool, has been run as a highly successful family business for over twenty years. In the volatile, fast-changing hotel and tourist trade, customers place great value on both quality and continuity of service, and the fact that so many satisfied patrons keep coming back to the Lyndene is a testament to this two-star hotel’s excellent reputation. Read on for our brief review of the Lyndene.
The Lyndene Hotel is located very centrally on Blackpool’s famous promenade, only a short distance away from the iconic Blackpool Tower, the giant Pleasure Beach amusement park and resort, and the historic Central and South Piers. Visitors flock to Blackpool in huge numbers from all over England and the rest of the United Kingdom. It is difficult to think of a hotel better situated for an enjoyable holiday or break on the Lancashire coast.
The distinctive, blue-painted Lyndene Hotel contains more than 140 guest rooms. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms, and are equipped with flat-screen TVs, telephones, plus hair-dryers and facilities for making hot drinks. An additional benefit to guests is the presence of a safe in each room for the convenient, secure storage of cash and other valuables. Unlike many hotels nowadays, the Lyndene allows smoking in some of its guest rooms, although by no means all of them. If you wish to occupy a smoking room you should specify this when booking your accommodation.
The standard tariff at the Lyndene Hotel covers either a continental or English breakfast, with the additional option of a five-course evening meal. The hotel has two restaurants, the Washington and the Connaught; both of them are open all day to serve any guest with breakfast, lunch or five-course evening meal, as required. Lighter meals, snacks and refreshments are also offered in the hotel’s sea view bar lounge, with the opportunity in favorable weather of dining or drinking outside and watching the world go by on the nearby seafront.
In the evening the Lyndene’s three fully licensed bars offer a varied program of entertainments for guests. Performers include talented musical groups and comedy acts, along with a resident keyboardist and host.
When some people on a budget visit Blackpool they may discount larger hotels and instead choose to stay at a cheap B&B or small guest house. By staying in a run-down B&B miles from the seafront it is of course possible to slash accommodation costs to the bone, but at the same time this can work out to be a false economy. When you book a stay at the Lyndene Hotel, Blackpool, it is true you will pay a little more, but the rooms are of a higher standard to match, and you can be sure of attentive, friendly, professional service from all the hotel staff. And when you think of the added value of a prime seafront location only yards from Blackpool’s top attractions, superb food, and evenings filled with high quality entertainment at no additional cost, it is clear that the Lyndene offers a much better value for your money.
