Situated on the prestigious Queens Promenade with breath taking views over the Irish sea, The Doric Hotel is fast becoming one of the more popular promenade hotels offering a wide range of facilities and affordable holidays. Renowned for our quality and service in comfortable surroundings making The Doric a fine hospitality experience for all the family.In the last 3 years The Doric has been highly commended by The Blackpool Tourism Awards which picks out the best of Blackpool’s hotel's and its many aspects.
Show more...The Doric is a nice hotel with very friendly and helpful staff, it is clean, in a good location and the food was quite good. We were booked in for a two night stay on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis, with tram stops just across the road we thought we would have a great weekend despite the weather. However, we decided to go home a day early due to no sleep (see below) and generally because of Blackpool itself. Our room was on the 4th floor on a corner of the building and it was very windy outside so not much chance of sleep due to the howling wind, which is obviously not the hotels fault. The other reason we didn't sleep was the extremely uncomfortable bed, the mattress had definitely seen better days. We did consider asking to change rooms but there was no guarantee that the bed would be any better, although a different room would possibly have been quieter! I have memories of Blackpool when I was much younger and I was looking forward to a nostalgic visit, however, Blackpool is very different now. It seemed that every other building is boarded up, the attractions are very expensive and there isn't really much to do unless you have children. There is a lot of scaffolding up so effort is being made to improve the town, we wish them luck with it but will not be returning.

Show more...The Doric never let's me down. Always a warm welcome from the moment of arrival to departure. Lovely clean rooms and housekeeping service. The friendliest and most obliging restaurant staff run efficiently by Louise the restaurant manager( always with s smile no matter how busy). Great bar area, with helpful friendly bar staff alongside a most welcoming lounge area with a lovely facia / outlook to the Irish sea... Fabulous evening entertainment also..what more can I add?? Have not used either indoor or the outdoor pools but will do so on my next return( not far on the horizon):both clean and well maintained... It's a hidden gem this hotel..and I'm looking forward to my next couple of stays there. Thanks Doric as I am never dissapointed.😀👍
Show more...Stayed 2 nights.. staff all friendly and welcoming down to earth people. Rooms clean nicely decorated as is main lobby n dining area, however not all of hotel caught up in this, some parts still very dated such as corridor’s and pool spa area .. handy with tram stop outside and prices reasonable with lots of offers food was nice . Entertainment is classic and fun. Overall it meets its 3* status prob 3*+ I had a lovely time and being solo female felt safe and hardly noticed I was on own. I will return with a friend in summer to check out the outdoor pool and a more busy time of year.
