I recently stayed at Dora Hotel and found it to be a mixed experience. While the location was perfect for exploring Blackpool's attractions, I felt the hotel itself was quite dated and in need of a refresh. The staff were friendly and accommodating, which really made a difference to my stay. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the rooms left something to be desired, which dampened my enthusiasm. Overall, it's good if you're looking for an inexpensive place to crash, but don't expect luxury. 🏨😊

The room was a decent size but definitely showed signs of wear. The bed was comfy enough, but I noticed the carpets could really use a good clean. I appreciated the kettle and tea-making facilities in the room, which were a nice touch, but overall cleanliness could be significantly improved.

The hotel has limited parking, and I had to wait for a spot to free up. While they offer some amenities, the overall facilities could benefit from updates and more attention to detail.

My stay at Dora Hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the South Pier and major attractions like the Pleasure Beach. However, I encountered several issues during my visit, including a lack of cleanliness in the room and uncomfortable bedding. The breakfast left much to be desired as well, and overall, I felt that the hotel could use some serious improvements.

The room was not cleaned during my entire week-long stay. The bedding was uncomfortable, and dust was everywhere. I even had to ask for the room to be hoovered as dirt accumulated on the floor, which was not ideal for the kids.

Service could definitely be improved. On multiple occasions, I found the dining area locked during breakfast hours, and the owner seemed unprepared and unwell to run the hotel in the mornings. It felt quite unprofessional.
