A couple of very minor things, on checking in (on Thursday) I booked a breakfast , which is extra, just for the Saturday morning. When I arrived at the restaurant on Saturday morning they didn’t have my booking, which caused a bit of an embarrassing delay with a queue building up behind me. It eventually got sorted and I was shown to a table. Now the restaurant is quite large and I had read beforehand that the breakfast was a buffet style. Once I had been seated a young chap took my drink order and preference for toast and that was it. I was then left wondering if breakfast would be brought out to me, would somebody be coming to take my order ? From where I was sat I couldn’t see any form of buffet. It was only when a different waiter was welcoming another table that I overheard him say there is a Buffett down to the left just around the corner, help yourself to various cereals, fruits and hot food. Once that hurdle was over the food itself was delicious.

This hotel is spotless and the location is excellent, stayed here for a few nights during the world snooker shoot out which was held at the tower and it’s literally a few minutes walk. I’ve stayed in many hotels in Blackpool, from little B&B’s to the Hilton and the Imperial and have to say the Ruskin is hands down the best. My single room had a double bed (which I believe all their singles have), Fluffy carpet looked like it had just been laid that day, en-suite was spotlessly clean and no issues with running hot water for the shower in the morning. Bed was very comfortable, tea and coffee making facilities with a little pull out tray full of various teas, coffees and milk and sugar etc. There is a bar near reception which I think is a public bar but again beautifully decorated and staff were really friendly, had couple of pints in there between the afternoon and evening sessions of the snooker one day. There is also nightly entertainment in a large room behind reception, I only caught the last half hour or so of the final act on the Friday evening but the singer was very good and had nice rapport with the crowd, getting everyone up dancing. I see there is what didn’t you like section and I’m going to pop a few minor things in there , very minor which didn’t at all detract from the quality of my stay, the snooker shoot out is back in Blackpool next December 2026 and there is nowhere else I will be staying, it will be the Ruskin for sure.

Mattress was too hard

Central location, calm and quiet, friendly staff. I travelled 4 hours and left my purse with my ID at home. The staff were fantastic and had the issue resolved and us in our room within 15 minutes. Can’t thank them enough from a very stressed customer!

Entertainment lounge tables and chairs weren't the best layout, and Entertainment wasn't the best

The staff was extremely friendly and polite

The breakfast was exceptional, plenty to choose from. We also had bar snacks, which were very tasty. The staff were very friendly and chatty. We only had B&B, so can't comment on dinner. Overall we had a great time. Already booked for next year with the 10% discount before we left.

I didn’t like my room this time No 123 it was very noisy from the outside fans, I think from the kitchen. I asked to change rooms but only had an upgrade to a twin for £40 extra so I didn’t bother. I have always had room 129 in the past and love this room but it was a last minute booking so had to have what was left.

Everything is very nice and homely. staff always very pleasant and ready to help.
