“In my opinion, this property has potential as a budget-friendly base for exploring Blackpool's attractions like the Pleasure Beach and the Blackpool Tower. The live entertainment in the Cabaret Bar Lounge strikes me as a key feature for families. However, I think that some aspects of the rooms and breakfast service could be improved to enhance the overall experience.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Oxford Hotel is often praised for its location, just a short walk from the town centre and the front, with an outside area where guests enjoy watching the world go by. The rooms are generally found to be comfortable and clean, with amenities like coffee making facilities and TVs.

the staff were really helpful and they were willing to do what was needed for us to have a nice stay.

i was a bit sad that the bar closed early. it was supposed to be open until 2am, but it was closed way earlier. i wished it had stayed open later.
