Blackpool is like Miami Beach fifty years ago - an everyman's beach resort. Ocean Bay is a grand example of that kind of old school hotel. A little bit "nanny", with the regular intimidations about smoking, or even eating, in one's room. For Your Own Good. But they're up front and honest about it, and probably seldom need to enforce. Otherwise, the rooms are clean, and there is only a tiny amount of black mold in the shower, the staff/owners are personable and have genuine concern for guests. Vastly preferable to an indifferent chain hotel. The location is excellent, near to the beach And Pleasure Beach. As good as Blackpool gets.

The hotel is likely at least 100 years old, and it shows. Dated Blackpool tackiness; (plastic plants and decorations, bunk beds, steep stairs, a cold breakfast; you get the jist.

We booked as cheap weekend away so we got what we payed for. Lovely view of lights and sea. Basic rooms could tell in middle of being updated. Good secltion of ceral for breakfast. In quite area of blackpool. It was clean, quite hotel. Tram stop right out side. Staff friendly and meet there dog who was lovely boy. The owner family explained the long term plan for it which sounds like it be lovely once done. We would happily stay there again. We were able to check in earlier then planed.

The Dinning chairs where a little uncomfortable. T.v sound not very good. Could do with bedside lamps, extra pillows. The light in room was a little bright for us however that personal preference.Feel hotel needs updating however we were very happy with our stay.

This is a great family run Blackpool hotel., right on the beach front. Location : This is great for access to the pleasure beach. There is a tram stop and a railway station close by. The promenade is across the road.. Facilities - this is our fifth visit and we have stayed in a number of rooms. All of them have been clean., have tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryer, toiletries and decent towels (hand and bath). there is a small seating area at the front for watching the world go by. The staff are friendly and helpful. I was even offered a lift when it was pouring with rain. Thank you for a warm welcome; we will be back.

The rain😀

Great hotel stayed at. Bedroom lovely clean and tidy, decorated nice, love how they think of everything for the children they even leave some teddy's on the bed to put a smile on the kids faces when they go into the room, love the fact the television was good size great signal for blackpool and have WiFi.... the owners are so nice and friendly loved hearing from them about all there plans they will be doing on there hotel with refurbishments all the extra rooms that will be built extra family rooms with game rooms. Was quite amazed will definitely be staying again and highly recommend to others

Only thing can really say is. Just needed a new light bulb in the lamp but can't complain really its just a light bulb room was still great without it

Booked this for a wee last minute break and definitely made the right choice. Great location, nice and quiet but still right on the front and within 5 min walk of pleasure beach, water park and south pier. Staff were so welcoming, helpful and friendly, they genuinely couldn't do enough for you. Great size family room easily accomodated 5 kids of varying ages. Would have no hesitation recommending and would definitely stay here again. Bonus for great continental breakfast and got to play with owners lovely dog. Give it a go, you wont be disappointed!

Some blackout curtains would be a great addition to the rooms.

The owners Leah and nassa are absolutely Brillant ! They are so friendly, helpful and accommodating. The rooms are lovely, clean and comfortable. The cooked breakfast was delicious, plenty to choose from. Location is great right next to the pleasure beach. They also have a pool table and shuffle board (perfect for kids). I arrived Friday 08/08/25 along with my Mum and two kids aged 8 and 5. You know you’ve chosen the best accommodation when your kids want to stay again and not come home ha ha! I can’t forget to mention their lovely dog Lockie. My daughter Anayah absolutely loved him, he’s so friendly and put out of the way for guests.

I can’t honestly say a bad word about this place, there is nothing to dislike.

Location was amazing. Parked the car outside when checking in, and didn't need to move it until check out. Beach across the road, everything walking distance Hotel was good.. friendly staff. Can't go wrong, especially with a booking that was done on the same day. Kids loved it so may visit again

Room was abit dated and needs TLC. Breakfast from 8.30 which is generally late but they do say that you can have it early on request. Sometimes families would like to just spend hours relaxing in hotels but this is one where you can't. But again...last minute booking... can't complain Noise levels were quite high from neighbouring hotels or rooms

The owners were friendly and welcoming, the room (Double) with ensuite was clean and functional, although a little small but was fine for myself and my daughter (11) Great value for money, and only a few mins away from the Pleasure Beach (and train station). There's a tram stop right across the road going to and from the Tower and town regularly which was really useful. Breakfast was good with a hot drinks machine, fruit juices, cereal, pancakes, croissants and toast. They also have a gorgeous fluffy 18 month old German Shepherd who was very friendly (after asking us if it was ok to meet him) 🥰 Would recommend 😊

I would have preferred a cooked breakfast offered as standard but that's just my personal taste

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel as a family of four, with our two young children (ages 3 and 9), and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The room (with a bunk bed) was spacious, clean, and perfect for a family. Everything felt well-maintained. The continental breakfast was fresh and tasty. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend this place for families, we’ll definitely be back!

The mattress of the bunk bed could be better.

The hosts were very friendly and sociable. Facilities and cleanliness were excellent. Children loved the pool table. Both cooked and continental breakfast was excellent. The hotel is good value for money in a quiet , clean location and only 5 mins walk from all the activities - sandcastle, pleasure beach etc. Tram stop at front of hotel for trip up to central pier, tower etc . We visited as a family of 13 , mixed ages and it suited our needs perfectly , thankyou
