“I use to take my girls there 3 time a year”

“If you’re a football fan, this is the place to stay in Blackpool! The hotel is right at Bloomfield Road, and I’d definitely recommend getting a pitch-view room. Imagine waking up and looking straight out over the football pitch! ⚽🏨 A really unique hotel experience and well worth trying.”

“I stayed here with Auntie Ethel, and this place is proper old school! It really feels like stepping back in time — a traditional hotel with plenty of character and a real Victorian-era feel. Definitely another memorable Random And Desperate adventure!”

“I’ve stayed here a couple of times and it’s a beautiful, welcoming place run by a lovely elderly couple. Every room is unique and full of character. The lady loves knitting and even has a wonderful wall full of her creations! 🧶 Best of all, it’s the only hotel I know where, as soon as you arrive, they offer you tea or coffee with biscuits. A proper home-from-home! ☕🍪❤️”

“Our official Random And Desperate hotel of choice! We’ve stayed here several times, including with Stocky Bloke for his 60th birthday and with Auntie Ethel. Claire is a fantastic host — she’ll chat your socks off! The breakfast is absolutely brilliant, and you can even pick up a signed copy of my book while you’re there. A proper favourite of ours and somewhere we’re always happy to return to.”

“The Imperial Hotel in Blackpool really is an impressive building. I know it's run by Britannia Hotels, but some of the rooms, especially downstairs, are absolutely stunning. When you think it's nearly 200 years old, just imagine the time and effort that went into building a place like this. You have to admire the workmanship. They certainly don't build hotels like this anymore!”

“This place will always be special to me. It featured in one of my very first Random And Desperate videos, long before the channel really took off. I stayed here with my two daughters and we made some wonderful memories together. Looking back at that video now means more to me than I could ever have imagined. I miss my girls so much, but I’ll always treasure the memories we made here. ❤️”

“We’ve stayed here a few times and always had a great experience. Our first visit was with Stocky Bloke, and we later brought him back for his 60th birthday, as well as visiting with Auntie Ethel. A great host, a lovely stay and an absolutely fantastic breakfast. Definitely somewhere we’d happily return to.”
