Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Babylon enjoys a great location near the North Pier, making it easy to explore Blackpool's attractions and nightlife. Many guests have found the rooms to be spacious, especially the triple rooms, and well-equipped with amenities like tea/coffee facilities, hairdryers, and ironing boards; plus, the beds are comfortable. Breakfast is a highlight for many, offering a full English option along with fruit, croissants, and cereals; however, some guests have mentioned that the TV reception in the rooms wasn't always the best.
