A Central, Adults-Only Base on Lord Street
Step off the train at Blackpool North, turn down Lord Street, and in about three minutes you are at the front door of The Hotel and Bar Blackpool. This is the resort's North Shore, a short stroll from the Promenade and the beach, with the piers, the Tower and the famous Illuminations route all within an easy walk. It is one of the closest hotels in the whole resort to the main railway station, and that position is what guests rave about more than anything else.
This is an honest, no-pretence adults-only hotel built for people who want to spend their money on the resort rather than the room. Downstairs there is a proper public bar with regular cabaret, so the welcome is sociable from the moment you arrive, and Lord Street's bars and the city's lively nightlife are right on the doorstep. The rooms are simple, comfortable and genuinely good value, and the friendly staff and the unbeatable location come up again and again in recent reviews. If you want a walkable, sociable, properly cheap base for a couple of nights by the sea, this is the kind of stay that just works.
Simple, Characterful Rooms with a Lord Street View
The rooms are compact and to the point, with a touch more character than the budget price suggests. Several front-facing rooms have a bay window over Lord Street, dressed with deep aubergine velvet curtains and a small table and chairs, while others pair black or pewter button-back headboards with framed botanical prints and bright white bedding. Every room has its own private bathroom, a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, a tea and coffee tray and heating, and guests single out the beds for a good night's sleep.
You can choose how much space you want. The King Room and the Suite are the roomier picks, the Double and Small Double keep things at the lowest price tier, and the Single suits a solo traveller who only needs somewhere comfortable to land after a night out. Whichever you book, you are paying for a clean, characterful room in the best possible position rather than for resort frills, which is the trade most guests here are happy to make.
The Bar Downstairs and a Walk to Everything
The clue is in the name. The ground-floor bar is the heart of the place, a sociable, well-priced spot with regular cabaret and entertainment that makes it a natural base for a night out rather than just a room to sleep in. There is a shared lounge to relax in and a few tables out on the Lord Street pavement for people-watching with a drink. Reception is run through the bar between 15:00 and 22:00, so let the team know if you will arrive later than that.
From the door you can walk the whole seafront. The beach is about 500 yards away, North Pier around 650 yards, and Blackpool Tower, the Comedy Carpet, Madame Tussauds and Sea Life are all within the first mile south along the Promenade. Lord Street puts you a few steps from the bars and clubs of the North Shore and the city's LGBT+ quarter, and with the station so close most guests leave the car at home and arrive by train. Breakfast is not cooked on site: instead the hotel hands out £5 breakfast vouchers for The Duke pub around the corner.

Location & Getting Around
The Hotel and Bar Blackpool sits at 22-24 Lord Street in the North Shore, the stretch of central Blackpool between the station and the sea. It is one of the most convenient addresses in the resort: Blackpool North station is about 150 yards away, roughly a three-minute walk, and the Promenade and Blackpool North Beach are around 500 yards down the road. The location is comfortably the property's strongest suit, and couples in particular rate their two-person stays highly.
Almost everything Blackpool is famous for is walkable from here. North Pier is around 650 yards south, and Blackpool Tower, the Comedy Carpet, Madame Tussauds and Sea Life are all inside the first mile along the Promenade. Lord Street itself is lined with bars and is a few steps from the city's LGBT+ quarter and nightlife, which is a big part of why the hotel suits a sociable adults-only weekend. With the main station so close, most guests skip the car altogether: there is no on-site parking, but the seafront, the piers and the Illuminations route are all on foot, and the tram runs the length of the Promenade if you want to head further along the coast.
- Blackpool North Station: 150 yd / 3 min walk. The resort's main railway station, with direct trains from Preston, Manchester, Liverpool and London (one change).
- Blackpool North Beach: 500 yd / 7 min walk. The wide sandy beach and Promenade directly down the road from Lord Street.
- North Pier: 650 yd / 9 min walk. Blackpool's oldest and longest pier, opened in 1863, the only one with Grade II listed status.
- Blackpool Tower: 1,050 yd / 15 min walk. The Eiffel-inspired Grade I listed landmark, opened in 1894, home to the sprung-floor Tower Ballroom.
- Comedy Carpet: 1,050 yd / 15 min walk. A 2,200 m² granite artwork of British comedy at the foot of the Tower, with over 160,000 letters.
- Sea Life Blackpool: 0.8 mi / 16 min walk. Family aquarium on the Promenade with a walk-through ocean tunnel.
- Madame Tussauds Blackpool: 0.9 mi / 18 min walk. The only Madame Tussauds in the UK outside London.
- Central Pier: 1.0 mi / 20 min walk. Victorian pleasure pier with its landmark Big Wheel and arcades.

North Pier
The closest of Blackpool's three piers, around 650 yards south along the seafront. Opened in 1863 and designed by Eugenius Birch, it is the oldest and longest of the trio and the only one with Grade II listed status. It is the quietest and most traditional pier, with the Joe Longthorne Theatre, a bar at the seaward end and long views back along the Promenade to the Tower.

Blackpool Tower
About fifteen minutes south along the Promenade, the city's defining landmark. The 518-foot Grade I listed tower opened in 1894 and still houses the Tower Eye observation deck, the famous sprung-floor Tower Ballroom, the Tower Circus and the Dungeon. The Comedy Carpet, a vast paved artwork of British comedy catchphrases, sits at its foot and has become Blackpool's other most-photographed spot.
View on Map
Blackpool North Beach
The wide sandy beach is about 500 yards from the front door, down towards the Promenade. North Beach has miles of hard-packed walking sand at the tide line, with the tramway running parallel just inland and North Pier a short stroll south. It is the easy first stop on a morning walk before the rest of the seafront, and the seafront here is at its quietest north of the piers.

Blackpool at a Glance
Blackpool is the UK's biggest and most-visited seaside resort, drawing more than 20 million visitors a year to the Lancashire coast of the Irish Sea. The Earl of Scarborough's railway arrived in 1846 and turned a quiet shore into the country's busiest working-class holiday town, and the wide Promenade, the three piers and the 1894 Tower that followed still define it today. From Lord Street you are right in the thick of it, a few minutes from the station, the seafront and the nightlife.
The Illuminations, the six-mile seafront light show running since 1879, are the biggest draw, lighting the Promenade from early September into the New Year. Around them the calendar fills with the Air Show in August, the World Fireworks Championship across September and October, Lightpool Festival each October and the Rebellion punk festival at the Winter Gardens. Summer school holidays are the warmest and busiest stretch; spring and deep midweek winter are the quietest and cheapest times to visit.

What Guests Say About The Hotel and Bar Blackpool
Scores and review counts are aggregated from verified guest bookings on major travel platforms.
Good
Guests love the location and the value above all: an unbeatable spot by the station and the Promenade, friendly staff, comfortable beds and a lively bar, all at a price that comes up again and again as phenomenal. Couples in particular come away happy. They highlight the great value, the great location and the friendly welcome over and over, and where scores dip it is usually the small bathrooms or a tired finish rather than the welcome or the price.
Great location and really friendly staff. The only thing missing was towels in the bathroom, otherwise a lovely stay.
2026-05-16Slept well and within striking distance of everywhere we wanted to be. Phenomenal value in a great location, nothing to dislike at that price.
2026-04-24Straightforward value for money in a really good location for me. No complaints at all.
2026-05-01An excellent hotel, really handy for the beaches and the pubs. Exactly what we wanted for a short break.
2026-04-13Liked the location and the suite room. Only small gripe was the bathroom water taking a while to warm up and no bath mat.
2026-03-15Fine for a one-night stay if you just need somewhere to sleep. Good value and a great location, the room could have been cleaned a little better.
2026-05-08Decent rooms and no complaints. Really handy for the gay scene and a sociable night out.
2026-03-24Cheap and very convenient for everything. The decor felt a little dated and I'd have liked the room to feel a bit more secure.
