Cheap, old and just only just acceptable

Nice hostess, excellent breakfast, clean beds. Room small, shower hit / miss (eiether too hot or too cold). Shower / bathroom very dated. Could have been cleaner. Bathroom mirror from a fairground. TV not secure on wall, terrible reception. Plug sockerts with missing screws. One not secure. Could not connect to wifi. Overall, very outdated, lived in (could gave been cleaner) but nice hostess and great breakfast. Cheap...

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend staying with Joanne at the New Kent we felt very well looked after by the lovely host .
The New Kent is situated in a nice quiet area on the north shore but only 100m from the prom and a tram stop .
I hope we will be staying again soon.

One of the best if not THE best

Amazing place to stay.
Very well kept with friendly staff.
Amazing breakfast.
Tram stop very close by (highly recommended the saver ticket) so no problem getting around and much cheaper than taxis.
Stayed at the New Kent twice so far and plan on staying again.
It really is a pleasant stay,away from all the hustle and bustle of town, yet so easily accessible.

Cheap Stay

Visiting relatives for a few days so we wanted something clean and cheap, and that is what we got. The owners were very helpful, the rooms are kept spotlessly clean, and the breakfast was very nice. We got what we paid for and perhaps more besides.

Parking was available after 7 on the street outside for free or there is a large car park across the street that charges £7 for every 24 hours.

Had a lovely stay the owners of the hotel were very welcoming and friendly. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was one of the best breakfasts we have ever had at a B & B and nothing was too much trouble - the young lad who served us at breakfast was very polite and friendly and always happy to help. We will be booking again this year to revisit during the illuminations. Thanks for a great stay 😊

A friendly family-run hotel, which offered comfortable and clean accommodation, a nice homely lounge and a good breakfast. The hotel was approximately a 20 minute stroll from the main attractions and town centre, but we made light work of this with our bikes. I would recommend this hotel, which for the money offered great value.

Don't expect any frills with this hotel. It is very basic but then I guess that is what you pay for.

6PM Check in by Time!!

The Hotel cancelled on me as I didn't spot the ridiculous early check in by time, This was for a family room (so potentially disappointed Children) starting on a Friday evening, I like many people work so getting there for 6pm in near impossible, I also do not live local (who does if its a holiday?) So after informing the hotel of my time of arrival they called back to cancel on me without offering a full refund, I called Expedia who then sided with the Hotel, I understand people can not wait around forever but this is a hotel with a bar...is this not staffed on a Friday night?

I had to make hasty arrangements with an alternative website and hotel which as normal was smooth and painless, not at all like this experience, I am now trying to get a refund from my cc company.

Lovely place to stay

Having booked on Expedia after reading the reviews I'm thoroughly impressed. I booked the room for the weekend for my parents to have a long weekend in Blackpool. The staff were great the lady who greeted us (Joanne) was so friendly and helpful. The room was lovely and just what they needed. The breakfasts were top notch and my parents had nothing but good things to stay. The location was fine. Right opposite the cabin tram stop and right opposite a live music bar. I asked them the big question would they stay there again and they said certainly yes. Checking their calendar for next year as I write this.

Very clean and the breakfast is outstanding

The price reflects a place which is much better than a hostel but don't expect new bathrooms or top of the range furniture. The rooms are small but perfectly adequate. I have experienced much smaller than this for a lot more money. I really like this location too.
If you want a very clean simple place with the best breakfasts ever at a hostel price then you will be happy. If you want Hilton standard furnishings the you ought to book there.

Staff was extremely helpful and welcoming, with a very clean and well presented establishment. The rooms where very clean and tidy, although a little tight as a family room. Location is out of the way from the hussle and bussle but the tram stop is at the top of the street for easy access into Blackpool or a 20 min walk. There is a Ma Kelly's in close proximatry with a good sized car park that charges £5 for 24 hour as the only other parking is on the street and is limited.
Would consider staying again in the future.

Joanne & Tony are the perfect hosts. They are friendly, kind and run a clean, comfortable, peaceful Hotel in a great location a few yards from Ma Kelly's Showboat and everything needed for a comfortable stay. Having recent experience of several alternate accommodations in the area I can safely say The New Kent Hotel is the best in value for money, location, enjoyment of stay and friendliness of welcome. And the breakfast is incredible value.
