The Blackburne Arms

stayed for two days . Great friendly and helpful staff. Steven and Joe couldn't have been more helpful. Top marks

Very friendly and welcoming! Pub was great. Room was quite small, though, and very noisy in the night (think someone was having a party across the road haha!) really reasonable tho for what we paid!

Really good place to stay; could do with a little spruce up here and there as there was a couple of bits in our room that looked a little worn but the beds were comfy and it was clean so I’d definitely stay there again! There was a bit of road noise from the street outside but nothing that the hotel can do about that! Staff were really chatty and friendly so we were really pleased we’d found this little gem! Took us about 15mins to walk to the Albert Dock and there was plenty of eateries/pubs on the route into town (so in reality it took us about 2hrs to walk there!!!!) No complaints really, worth a stay if you’re happy to be a bit further out of the centre!

The hotel had friendly staff and provided the basics but is suffering from a lack of care and up-keep. It is perhaps an occupational hazard that some things were noticed such as out of date PAT testing and fixed electrical wiring inspection but the more obvious concerns were with the light fitting hanging from the ceiling with wiring exposed, the wall mounted TV facing away from the bed and hanging on by the last threads of the screws, tired and worn bathroom cabinetry, a bathroom door which didn't close fully, and blinds that didn't provide adequate blocking out of the street light directly outside the bedroom window. The room had signs of once being nicely decorated with some thoughtful touches but unfortunately these were over-shadowed by the neglect.

Staff very friendly, good service and the breakfast was fab, would return
