The Ruskin Hotel is located right in the centre of Blackpool, just a five minute walk from the town’s famed promenade and landmark tower. Wi-Fi and breakfast are both complimentary at this traditional three-star hotel. 71 Unfussy guest rooms with homely decor feature en-suite bathrooms, flat-screen TVs and tea/coffee-making facilities. Family rooms provide additional beds and cots (upon request). Amenities include a lift, 24-hour room service, and function/meeting space. There’s also a patio area with benches in front of the hotel. Traditional British evening meal options are served in an unpretentious restaurant. Light lunches, nightly live entertainment acts, and a good selection of beverages, are proffered in the convivial on-site pub, Roly’s Bar. The Ruskin Hotel is a four-minute walk from the Winter Gardens and a ten-minute stroll from the Central Pier. Blackpool Pleasure Beach is a 20-minute tram ride away.
Many guests loved the fact that this hotel is set back a little from the busy sea front yet is still within a very easy walk of most of the town's main sights and attractions. Having a tram stop so close by (five minutes' walk) was also considered a big plus.
A traditional hotel where the manager greets guests with a smile every morning and the staff make an effort to remember every visitor's name; it's no wonder the vast majority of guests have been thoroughly impressed by the efforts of the small army of highly attentive employees working here.
Numerous visitors have given the food here glowing reviews. Both the cooked breakfasts and the evening meal options consistently earn very high praise.
A great many guests remarked that the accommodations here look like they're in need of a pretty urgent revamp. Other areas of the hotel have received upgrades recently so hopefully the guest rooms will soon get the attention they clearly require.
It is fair to say very few visitors have been impressed by the almost comically slow speed of the lifts in this hotel. Evidently, walking up/down the stairs is a far quicker option.
A number of guests have observed that the floorboards - particularly those on the upper floors - have a tendency to creak like something out of an old horror film. Not what you need when you're trying to get to sleep!
