The all you can eat buffet is a massive bonus on the place. I ate like a king. Some of the best curry I have ever eaten and big range of all kinds of tasty dishes. I'd go and eat there even if I wasn't staying. The staff are lovely people and I felt very relaxed and at home. The bar is like a sports bar and had enough atmosphere without being rowdy to enjoy the football on the big televisions. I was staying alone but didn't feel like it in the bar watching the football.

I liked everything

First impressions when we walked into this Gem of a place is that we were being expected and waited upon. The room was very spacious and very clean. Tea, coffee. Biscuits all sitting in a tray all ready for us after the very long drive that we had. The place is situated within walking distance to the beach. We did not use our car whilst we were there credit to the great transport services in Blackpool as well as the free parking we had during our stay. The buffet was amazing and a great breakfast, too.

For us as family, there was nothing not to like.

Superb location, very welcoming hosts, both of our booked rooms were lovely. Exceptionally clean and nicely decorated. Careful placement of plug sockets near mirrors made me very happy as did the lighting! Beds very comfortable and rooms were quiet. The buffet restaurant food was outstanding, exceptionally well managed and everything was delicious. We have stayed a few times now and this would always be my first choice when staying in Blackpool. Thank you so much to all at The Gurkha!!

There was nothing not to like!

The Location of The Gurkha Hotel was perfect, it was close to all things needed and not far from seafront. The room was amazing and huge and very very clean. The staff were helpful and very kind. Our remote was not working for the tv so they replaced the whole tv as there was an issue. We had an evening meal at The Gurkha Hotel and that was one of the best meals whilst in Blackpool, well worth the money and the food was amazing.

There was not 1 thing we did not like about The Gurkha Hotel. It was perfect in every way possible. We would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Blackpool on the future!

The hotel is located a little south of the city centre but it was a bracing walk along the promenade to get to there, or the tram service was always a good option. The hotel is opposite the ambulance hub but this didn't pose any problems. No sirens in the middle of the night. The facilities were good and the breakfast was excellent. All staff very friendly.

The floor of the room seemed a bit uneven although I guess it's an old building. Not much to criticise. Good for the price.

The vicinity of the hotel to The Waterloo Rock venue which was the purpose of our trip was absolutely perfect. Although we aren’t fans of buffet food we had dinner prior to going out and it was very good. A great choice of Thai, Chinese and Nepalese dishes which were prepared and cooked well. The Nepalese lamb and vegetable dish were super spicy and absolutely delicious. We had English breakfast on the Sunday and it hit the spot nicely. We had no issues parking at the front of the hotel. The staff were all polite, courteous and friendly which is always the reason that gives you incentive to return. When we visit again for future gigs it will be our hotel of choice.

The room was tastefully decorated and immaculately clean. The bathroom was pure white and very good size. Beds comfy and room big enough for 4 of us. Food was also very good. Lovely breakfast to start the day. Sadly we didn't eat evening meal at the buffet but our taxi driver says it's amazing. It certainly smelt it. Would recommend this hotel and we will definitely be back.

Nothing.

Basic clean hotel nice staff good shower comfy bed, good bar area and had a meal at the restaurant very good plus free parking at the front of the hotel (limited spacers but good if you can get one ) Good light in the bathroom, Main reason for booking was the closeness to The Waterloo Bar

Small things really, No shelf in the bathroom so no were to put your toiletries, had to put them on the floor !!! we did have noisy people next door, running up and down the corridor early hours of the morning shouting to each other !! but you can get that any were :( Very disappointed with Blackpool its self, It felt very unloved and dirty
