Real Guest Reviews & Ratings

What Previous Guests Had to Say

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Santa Maria is often described as cozy and warm, particularly appealing during February stays. Many guests find the location convenient, noting it's just a few minutes' walk to the North Pier area and the center of Blackpool, with excellent views over the Irish Sea. The rooms are newly furnished and decorated, and often described as more spacious than expected; however, a few guests have mentioned a less-than-ideal experience, with some reporting damp smells and uncleanliness in specific rooms. The varied breakfast and access to amenities like the bar and lounge are appreciated, with some guests taking full advantage of the fast Wi-Fi and comfortable public areas.

Excellent Seaside Stay

easy accessnice viewhelpful staffhot room

The location offered easy access to the town center. I had a very nice sea view from my room. The staff were helpful and cute.

The room got far too hot making it uncomfortable. Air circulation was poor even with the window open making for restless nights.

The Standard Single Room featured new furnishings and decor. I found a firm comfortable mattress along with a clean en suite facility. The room was also more spacious than I anticipated.

The hotel includes fast wi-fi . I noticed a large comfortable public lounge available for relaxation. A bar provided coffee and drinks enhancing the experience.

Dining

Breakfast had a varied comprehensive selection. The first morning was busy needing assistance to find a table. On the second day finding our names was difficult though we were seated quickly.
