Excellent Staff with a hotel to match.
I found the king Edward hotel a warm and very welcoming place to stay. Keith and Angela are very friendly people with with great customer service. The room was very clean and tidy as was the entire hotel. It really felt like a home from home. I would not look for anywhere else to stay when returning to blackpool and feel confident that this is a place i would take my children to stay as the hotel is very child friendly. The prices are very reasonable and the food is of a great standard Would really recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to blackpool. Can not thank Keith and Angela enough for everything this weekend and making our stay fantastic.

The Best in Blackpool
Any low reviews given on this Hotel are a joke, this is by far the Best most welcoming Hotel in Blackpool.Nothing is too much trouble for the owners Keith and Angela and this alone has resulted us in going back to the hotel many times and also recommending it to friends who are also of the same opinion. The Hotel is in the quiet North end of Blackpool away from the hustle and bustle, prices are very reasonable and the rooms are very clean and of a good size, the food is excellent and the Bar area is a very good place to meet new friends on a evening with bar prices been very cheap. Overall the Hotel is first class with service and standards to match, highly recommended

Great all rounder.........
Booked to stay here as a last minute break. We've visited many hotels in Blackpool, and it's usually difficult for us as a family of five (two adults and 3 children) to get a family room to accomodate us. Not at the King Edward though!
In brief, excellent all round! Great breakfast, clean, tidy and homely rooms. Very reasonable and well stocked bar. Little touches make the difference here, along with a truly friendly approach and professionalism. Our children and I really enjoyed our brief stay here, - we're going back very soon. Can't understand the other poor reviews on here, must be a different hotel or just someone making up stories? Trust me, you'll enjoy your stay with Keith and Angela! Thanks guys!

Didnt even get to stay
After making booking for this hotel and having it confirmed. The hotel member of staff who I felt was rather rude about the matter telephoned to cancel my booking as it was only for 1 night and they wanted 2 nights. I personally believe a better booking may have come in and they took that, being on business in the area I can only stay for 1 night as work commitment meant I had to be elsewhere the following day
Management Response from Keith Whigham, Owner This customer booked through late rooms and there is a policy statement that we take a minimum of two nights at the weekends during the illuminations. As Late rooms had taken the booking they were in fact the \" rude staff\" as they contacted him to inform him that he had made the mistake by not reading the terms and conditions.
