Empire Blackpool Apartments - Tyldesley Road

The stairs were ultra steep up to the apartment. Trying to get up and down with luggage and a pet. Thee another set of stairs dividing the bedroom and kitchen and bathroom. It does not look at all like the phot which is probably not the one we stayed in. The bed was very uncomfortable and lumpy. The TV was not connected to the internet so no streaming conten. The ‘smoke alarm’ Was covered in foil. The toilet seat would not stay up so peeing for a mail was impossible. The cleanliness was a bit of a. Issue as the carpets were very grubby. The look of the apartment was very dated and needs an overhaul to bring up to modern standards. It was relatively cheap, so I guess you get what you pay for. I only stayed one night of a two night stay. Overall, if you just want a cheap place to crash after a drunken night then for it.

We booked the LUXURY apartment suitable for a family to stay. (Apartment2) This isnt correct my children had nowhere to stay as the sofa beds are unusable springs visible and very uncomfortable to sit on nevermind sleep on. We ended up going out and buying an inflatable sofa bed just so the kids had somewhere to sit/sleep. When we first entered the room it looked clean and presentable then i started to move the plates set on the breakfast table which were full of grease/hair/dust i wiped the plates with a napkin and they were thick with dust. In the bedroom you can see the wall surely needs some TLC right at the bedside. Our frontdoor looked as if it had been kicked in at some point and they had done a botched job trying to fix it as the lock was clearly not sturdy/safe. The kettle was filthy inside, knives from the drawers thick with dried food, hairs on the toilet, crisps crumbs in the fridge and the freezer was barely usable (over frozen). Also the fire alarm in our room was hanging off the ceiling. In my opinion i would not give this a luxury status.

Great stay. Round the corner from seaside. Location was perfect. The apartment had everything we needed and it was nice and clean and relaxing. Well worth it and I would definitely stay again.

Avoid, its more of a cry for help than luxury. We got locked out 3 nights in a row by other people staying with emergency number being no good with no answer, so lucky we were basement with back door entry or we would been with nowhere to stay! The sofa is unsleepable let alone to be classed as a bed! The bed itself is even worse springs poking everywhere for a family of 4 it was not suitable or big enough and having to go out and buy an air bed. Will be taking it futher as its apalling! Avoid at all costs!!!

When we first arrived at the apartments we did not know what to expect as from the outside it was the pleasant of looking of places. Once we got our key and went into flat 2 on the ground floor we were pleasantly surprised. The living room/kitchen was well looked after with new kitchen appliances, the bedroom had a double bed and wardrobe and the bathroom had sink, toilet, bath and shower and was also quite new. During our two day stay we though we got a good deal for the 4 of us at less than £130 and a great location to everything. The few negatives about the apartment was the sofa beds were rally bed to sit on/sleep on due to them having broken springs stricken to, no idea how to get the jacuzzi on the bath but wasn’t really bothered. Other things which we move it to 4/5 would be a bit of paint here and there, the door the the flat was very stiff and also a brush/shovel to tidy up a little. Would we go back to place, 100% yes. Note for people using the property is that on street parking is free but is limit which we weren’t able to use. We paid £22 near by but found out later on there was a cheaper car park 100 yards away at £17 for two nights.

Bedding had blood on it and blanket was still dirty with what i can only describe as a bogie stuck to it, however the towels were clean, the sofa beds are absolutely awful and is impossible to sleep on with the springs being in terrible condition this is the same as with the mattress on the bed. The sheet was unclean, The bathroom had cobwebs and spiders by the sink and toilet and generally didn't give a relaxing and clean feel that you would expect. The windows had been left open bad were broken and unable to close. Just a disappointing stay in general.

*EMPIRE STATES WARNING* NOT AS DESCRIBED - APPARTMENT NOT AS DESCRIBED !!! significant health and safety concerns about the property including - The external door of the property was wide open and anyone could access the building at any time (we arrived and the door was wide open) - Damage to the property including, - Chipped walls, clear visible damp on the walls in which the wall paper was pealing off), damage to tiles (hanging off), damage to radiators, sofa beds having springs hanging out of them not comfortable to sleep on and main bed not for two people this was a small double. - Security concerns over the front door to apartment it looks like it had been forced previously and doorframe/hinges chipped. We could not enjoy our evening as we were constantly worried about the security of the property. I have attached numerous photographs of the accommodation looking NOTHING like the photographs advertised and it was certainly not luxury as advised. We booked for three guests and one of them was not able to stay with us on the ‘Sofa Beds’ as described. The Sofa Bed had springs hanging out of them and the main bed you could feel the springs as well in the bed.

Good location
